Game Thread GAME# 74: BLAZERS @ BULLS - MARCH 27, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM , NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

Holy shit that injury report, we will definetly see at least Simons tonight

Bulls are two games behind (above?) Cleveland in the tank standings to get higher odds for the #1 pick.

This makes sense.

Tom Haberstroh on 620 right now says that the Blazers absolutely should be starting Collins the rest of the year and through the playoffs; likens it to the Celtics last season with Hayward and then Kyrie's injuries.

 

[Almir]

Win for Nurk! Lets go Blazers, wish you the finale, all the best from Bosnia. We are trully sad because of Nurk, but support Blazers and wish a good run in playoff . Till the final.

Hear Hear!

 

[BBert]

I voted start Meyers, with Collins off the bench to cover for Kanter's "defense".

If I were a betting man, I'd bet Kanter starts.

Of course I'm going to continue to support the Blazers. Even though tonight is going to be depressing, I will watch every game.

That's right. "Win one for the Nurker!"

(You over 60 guys will get the reference haha)

 

[Blazer4ever]

we need Enes to step it up defensively. Stay in the paint, protect the rim, not to go with his man wherever

 

[BBert]

I care.

I will go down to the very last second rooting this team on. There is still lots of experience to be gained and fighting a tough battle can make us tougher in the long run. I will apply a Portland Timbers motto. No Pity jn the Rose City. We battle on to the end.

We are Spartacus

That's right. We've been through worse, and we're still standing.

Well, sitting mostly. But my point stands!

 

[LayneStaley]

Kanter will start till Terry realizes it’s a horrible idea, which will be when we get eliminated from the playoffs.

 

[BBert]

Dont get me wrong, Im going to catch the games when I can (basically when im not working) like I always do, but it just feels like theres a hole in my heart after that gut wrenching injury for Nurk. I know Dame and the guys won't give up and will play there asses off, but its hard knowing that we just lost 2 out of our 3 best players fighting against a tough conference in the playoffs with one of those teams being the Monstars.

Yeah. "We're doomed as doomed can be, you know." (/SNL)

But the team needs us now more than ever!

Allez Les Blazers!!

 

[THE HCP]

Kanter starting.

 

[BBert]

Kanter will start till Terry realizes it’s a horrible idea, which will be when we get eliminated from the playoffs.

That's very optimistic.

My prediction is next December.

 

[BBert]

Uber rider told me Lillard isn’t playing tomorrow. Is this true?

Was the Uber rider on the coaching staff?

 

[BBert]

So how is Dame walking? That knee to knee shot had me worried also.

Wasn't it a foot to knee shot?

Carroll gave Dame the Draymond Green treatment. Well he tried. Dame's knee was in the way.

That should have been a flagrant foul, IMO. No way was that a normal basketball motion in that instance.

 

[BBert]

Blazer-One has landed in Chi-Town. One of the quietest flights I’ve ever been on with the team. I’m sure our boys will bounce back and be ready for tomorrow night!

Attack of the Giant Licorice Jelly Bean???

Quick, FormerlyKnownAs, eat the damn thing before it wipes out the city.

Kanter will start till Terry realizes it’s a horrible idea, which will be when we get eliminated from the playoffs.

This is really funny, because it's a sad truth. I do think this is one of the reasons Kanter was brought in though so I don't really have a problem with him getting the first shot at it.

 

[BBert]

Holy shit that injury report, we will definetly see at least Simons tonight

Hyper Drive Tank Mode Initiated?

 

[BBert]

Prediction for the closing lineup--Simons, Trent, Layman, Skal, Zach.

You mean closing the first half?

 

[Eastoff]

Kanter starting.

Not a fan. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Scalma]

Of course Kanter is starting. Hey bulls! layups on aisle two.

 

[Scalma]

Here’s the next predictable move. The second unit will be Curry Turner hood Meyers and Zach.

Of course it will be, I don't get why you'd get worked up over that when you know it's coming.

That would be a very good move actually. He gives us as good a chance of winning as anyone else, or better, and he needs the experience.

Throw the young man to the Wolves. Errr...I mean Bulls.

 

[Labinot41]

This is the worst starting lineup in NBA history

 

[LayneStaley]

Nards/Zach sounds slightly better than Kanter/Chief, but not much. I’m getting really sick of Droopy Dog and his decisions.

 

[LayneStaley]

Just watch, Kanter will go 20/20 against these massive scrubs and Terry will let him chase those stats the rest of the year against NBA players. Fuck

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Honestly, Nurks minutes should mainly go to Zach. Kanter is a back up big and he can be valuable when you need him. but you might as well trot my broken down fat butt out there on defense, I could also watch the other team get layups.

 

[B-Roy]

This is the worst starting lineup in NBA history

Bro, what the fuck is this team LOL.

 

[LayneStaley]

This is worst case scenario imo, we are gonna throttle a bunch of D leaguers and then come out Friday flat as fuck and a bit overconfident.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Bro, what the fuck is this team LOL.

If the Blazers lose tonight. It’ll in now way say anything about how they perform in the playoffs remember that.
