Game Thread GAME# 48: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - JANUARY 21, 2019 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

We have the coach?

When you lose to a team by 30 at home, and then follow up 4 days later to lose by 21 on the road to that same team, you most definitely DO NOT have the coach.

 

[Strenuus]

We have had multiple games over the years playing on MLK Day. I swear we have been in Atlanta, D.C. and Memphis on this special day in the past. How ironic that this year we are in SLC.

Dont forget in Washington D.C. too.

 

[THE HCP]

What a ridiculous back to back.

9 eastern start tonight, and a 2+ hr flight to OKC after the game, and an 8 eastern start tmrw. 23 hrs between games + a back to back flying east for an earlier start? Who makes this bullshit schedule.

I’ll take it one step further, its dumping snow here right now in SLC. Supposed to get up to 8 inches today. Having to “de-ice” on the tarmac usually adds 45 min to an hour. So we might not get to our hotel tonight in OKC til 2:30-3 am. Thats tough.

I see the ability to READ is not a prerequisite for your position! HA!

So you're hoping for double overtime tonight?

At least OKC will also be on a b2b, but they're in NY playing right now. They'll be back home in like 6 hrs. If anything, we should have gotten an afternoon game. Elevation in Salt Lake is gonna be draining.

I saw a thread on reddit the other day also that the teams Portland has played against on back to backs have had the 2nd highest win % in the league. And our record on the second night is far better than the first.

 

[THE HCP]

And THEN we get a nice day off in PHX to rest up for the huge contest agains ther Suns.

hahaha oops. I even read it three times. Damnit.

Just thought it was funny that of all places to spend MLK day after being apart of it in those other cities, we are here. HA!

When you loose that bad you really don't have anything up on them.

You went and had to say it didn't you????

 

[hoopsjock]

Well at least if it's double overtime we didn't get blown out again by Utah!

Indeed!
But i can tell you @HCP would not be allowed to say such a thing in the truck during the game or even before. As much as we would be entertained it would totally suck for them.

I don't know. When you have a job like that where lots of people would gladly accept the inconveniences for all the cool parts of it then I don't really feel bad for them.

In sports broadcasting is any boy says the "O word" on headsets everybody freaks out! It's hilarious.

What if a girl says it?

 

[THE HCP]

I see what you did bro!

 

[hoopsjock]

I see what you did bro!

I'm guessing you like to mess with people and say the O word a lot?

Heh?
I am not getting the funny?

 

[kjironman1]

Brandon Roy ahead by a nose.

 

[THE HCP]

Heh?

Of course YOU wouldn't.

 

[riverman]

Gut check game...hope we get this one being the first of the back to backs

 

[THE HCP]

Hey, threw together a cool flashback of Layman's night. Airs right as we come on the air.

I regret to inform the good people of this forum that I was not able to obtain the necessary cow for good luck in tonight's game.

I have a bra and socks on though. Hopefully, it will be sufficient.

Go Blazers.

[hoopsjock]

Is that Melo way up in the stands?

 

[BonesJones]

That pre-game edit was top notch. My goodness.

I wonder how people put that together. I have no clue. It amazes me.
