Game Thread Game #61 - BLAZERS VS NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 27, 2022 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[oldmangrouch]

These guys are not really NBA level players.

What's truly amazing is that of all the young player Cronin has brought in, not one has any kind of future. With this many swings, how did he strike out every time?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Blevins with the excremation mark.

 

[maxiep]

LOL. Nurkic really looks hobbled by that plantar fascitis.

 

[illmatic99]

LMAO did yall catch Boogie/Jokic/Barton clowning Nurk at halfcourt about his "injury" and Nurk just slyly shaking his head

Exactly. The failure to get draft choices doomed us.

Paul isn't just rolling over in his grave - he is whirling like a dervish.

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Nuggets 124, Blazers 92
Portland gets run out of the gym for the 2nd straight game and have for sure gone into full tank mode. Come chat about the game and anything else you want to talk about!

 

[TBpup]

This is textbook tanking. We are barely fielding a G-league quality roster. Just awful. This roster will have four people from this season on next year's roster.

I'm guessing Dame, Nurk, Ant, Little, Hart, Winslow, Watford, Brown, and likely one of Hughes/Johnson who isn't included in a trade.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Sure does seem like this team is a long ways away from a championship.

 

[blazerfan11]

Portland's tanking could lead to losing the Pelican's draft pick.
Did Cronin think about that?

 

[illmatic99]

Portland's tanking could lead to losing the Pelican's draft pick.

not when we also made the clippers better.

if NO actually gets thru the play-in by beating at least two of (LAL/LAC/MIN), more power to them.

 

[THE HCP]

Lowest game thread post total ever…….. must be some other big sporting event going on?

 

[Wade Garrett]

I was in the arena tonight, and I gotta say very proud of the crowd.
Blazers down by 30, and they are still very involved, and positive.
As if they understand what is going on, collectively. It's an audition on the floor.
Not one "Blazers suck" or anything ever negative.
They really "get it"..

Who are the 4 idiots who answered Drew Eubanks as most excited to see more of?

Must be Beaver fans?

 

[Mr. Robot]

LMAO did yall catch Boogie/Jokic/Barton clowning Nurk at halfcourt about his "injury" and Nurk just slyly shaking his head

when did it happen

i just saw it, yeah, hes definitely not injured lol

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Dame, Nurk, Simons, Hart? Sounds about right.

Nas, Winslow, Brown, Johnson, Watford likely all sticking around as well. Williams also seems like he's auditioning hard for a backup PG spot.

 

[wizenheimer]

Actually it's colorless....that's just light refraction

air is colorless...sky is blue. Learn science, then post

When sunlight hits the Earths atmosphere, particles and gases spread it in all directions. What we are seeing is blue light from the sun refracted. So, the Sky itself is not blue, that's just incurvated sunlight creating an illusion.

you look up...you're looking at the sky. On a clear day, the sky is blue. Cloudy day and the sky is white & gray. Night, the sky is dark

still sky every time you look up

you're not getting it



if the sky isn't blue, nobody has ever had a blue car and trees aren't green; fire hydrants aren't yellow; and your underwear isn't brown

Ok, sure the sky is blue

Well, there's a kind of significant difference between reflection and refraction...

 

[THE HCP]

Anybody notice how grey and dark the sky was today?

 

[Strenuus]

Anybody notice how grey and dark the sky was today?

Yeah. It's making me feel blue.

 

[wizenheimer]

Well, there's a kind of significant difference between reflection and refraction...

yeah, one is light that is bounced, the other is light that is bent

both sky and ocean are blue, but for different reasons:

"The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. This scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (of which light is a form) by particles of a much smaller wavelength. Sunlight is scattered by the particles of the atmosphere, and what comes through down to earth is called diffuse sky radiation, and though only about 1/3rd of light is scattered, the smallest wavelengths of light tend to scatter easier. These shorter wavelengths correspond to blue hues, hence why when we look at the sky, we see it as blue. At sunset and sunrise, the angle at which sunlight enters the atmosphere is significantly changed, and most of the blue and green (shorter) wavelengths of light are scattered even before reaching the lower atmosphere, so we see more of the orange and red colours in the sky.


The ocean is not blue because it reflects the sky, though I believed that up until a few years ago. Water actually appears blue due to its absorption of red light. When light hits water, the water's molecules absorb some of the photons from the light. Everything absorbs at a different wavelength (Your green t-shirt absorbs red), and as a result reflects the remaining colours back at a viewer (that's why your t-shirt looks green). In shallow bodies of water (like a drinking glass) light penetrates it completely, as there is not enough water to absorb enough photons, so we see the water as colourless. In deeper waters however, not all the wavelengths of light can fully penetrate the liquid, as there are too many water molecules in the way of the photons. The water molecules absorb all the red wavelengths from the light, making it reflect blue. This is also why shallower waters appear 'less' or lighter blue than deeper ones- less absorption means less reflection."

Tonight's forecast? DARK!
Followed by Widely Scattered Light In the morning.
