Game Thread GAME# 63: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 9, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

76ers announcers actually aren't too bad. One of them just called CJ "Christian James McCollum" which impressed me. I remember hearing an announcer refer to him as Christopher earlier this year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sorry, but this is why I don't get excited about wins at this point. Yes, it will get us to the playoffs....but we're barely keeping up with PHILLY.

I like to keep games like this in perspective.

Are the Grizzlies a good team? Do they play good defense? They let the Nets score 122 a few nights ago. No opponent is a gimme. Sixers have talent. Nothing easy.

 

[riverman]

Stotts is going with a 9 man rotation...

 

[KingSpeed]

As do I, but I also want a better pick as opposed to being blown out by the Warriors or Spurs

I don't think we'd get blown out. We can beat either team in a series. Have faith.

Really ironic to see you write this. lol.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk going to get a triple double easily.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nurkic is our best player. Dame and CJ have to accept this.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurkic has gotten us so many more easy buckets.

 

[Cippy91]

Nothing wrong with being excited about Nurk. He's playing great.

Never said nothing was wrong with it, jesus christ. I love it too I am just saying

........lol

Saying they are "too blind" by it kind of implied to me that it was a negative.

 

[B-Roy]

When Nurkic comes out of the game I don't want to watch anymore.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I have to admit, Covington and Holmes seem like some solid guys.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nurk gonna get a triple double before Dame, sad. Lol

 

[Cippy91]

I mean it's whatever at this point, any time I say anything people love to take it and think I am trying to force people to believe something or I just wanna stir up shit so whatever honestly. Same old

 

[Trackjack]

To many miss layin some of the guys is not focus at all.

 

[ripcityboy]

Too bad Joes went out of business a few years ago. I could see Nurkic in some commercials selling exotic hunting gear.

Mo Harkless Mo Problems

Mo will be a good trade asset this summer.

 

[PDXFonz]

If there is somebody they want bad enough they have 3 picks to make it happen, at that point you get who you want and figure you don't need to add too many players from the draft, especially not ones that are Jake Laymans or Noah Vonlehs whom need time to develop.

Besides if we started to tank and lose games we could miss a chance to push the Grizzlies out of the playoffs. Picture the Grizz slump continuing and the Nuggets ending up in the 7th spot. All the sudden we have a chance to make the playoffs AND be in the lottery.

 

[KingSpeed]

Watching this game, I see no reason we shouldn't advance past GS to the second round.

Truth

 

[Boise Blazer]

It sure speaks volumes about Lillard that he has been 100% OK with sacrificing some of his scoring by running the offense through Nurk

Kaman missed that train too.

 

[The Professional Fan]

As do I, but I also want a better pick as opposed to being blown out by the Warriors or Spurs

Nope. We have the youngest roster in the league. You want that experience over anything. Plus, losing begets losing.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurkic is Nurkin it!

If there is a turtleneck outfitter/Beeper emporium, they should call a Nurkic.

 

[B-Roy]

17/13/8/5/2 in 25 minutes. Good lord.

 

[Jade Falcon]

How many points does Dame have tonight? He's been pathetic.

 

[PDXFonz]

Mo will be a good trade asset this summer.

I'm not sure Olshey will do much aside from preparing to offer a nice contract to Nurk.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Meyers is in guys.
