Dame says, remember to turn your clocks back an hour on Saturday night/Sunday morning (or more precisely, at 2 A.M. on November 3rd, 2019) here in the States.

Daylight saving time may be coming to an end, but the 4th quarters of these past 2 Blazers games have been Dame-like Saving time.

OK, I laughed way too hard after seeing Anthony Tolliver in the poll question

 

[Pinwheel1]

Embiid for sure. But to me Simmons was worse. He did not act like a peace maker to me. He tool advantage of the situation and tackled him from behind. He held him down a little too long and a little too aggressively.

This poll may be a classic.

 

[stampedehero]

I don't want suspension. I want retaliation!

I want to get to that 10-10 mark in our first 20......anyway we can.

 

[kjironman1]

Just win!
Go Blazers

Kjironman is a fan!!!

 

[TBpup]

Big (ugly) win on the last of a 4-game roady. Now have to get their first home win of the season. Thoughts and Prayers to every 6'11" and up player on our roster. They seem to need it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Embiid suspended

 

[Pinwheel1]

"The 76ers' Ben Simmons was not disciplined for his role in the skirmish.

At the bottom of the scrum, Simmons at one point had his forearm around Towns' throat as he forcefully held his opponent down. The officials deemed Simmons a "peacemaker" who was trying to break up the fight. The Timberwolves disputed that characterization, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski."

Like I said yesterday....I think what Simmons did was worse.

You did call that.

They still a tough team without embiid - another test for this Blazers team. Whiteside gotta keep his eyes on Hoford. Let’s go!

 

[riverman]

Wish I could make this game....classic 50th anniversary game

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs just lost so the Sixers are the only undefeated team in the NBA.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Embiid suspended

Looks like the game just got easier!

[Bruno_Sabino]

Nah. He only played 2 games
They still a very good team. Trust me: a win here is quality win
They got hoford because of injury’s problems

Another team missing one of their best players? Hmmmm, is it me, or do we see this happening a lot?

considering we're missing Nurk, Pau and Zach....I'd say it's a problem every team faces...especially with bigs

I was also a huge sixers fan growing up as it was before the Blazers were in existence. Loved the rivalries between Boston and Philly and I was a huge Hal Greer fan along with Chet the jet Walker, Wilt, Billy Cunningham etc.

 

[andalusian]

I was a Sixers fan too growing up, especially Barkley.
