Game Thread GAME# 74: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - MARCH 27, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

Let's win tomorrow and then root for Spurs vs OKC on Thursday.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

What's the typical timetable for a return from this?

They are just taking something out that's floating around? I was back at work a 9 days after having my gall bladder removed.

I give Harkless a week, ten days tops.

 

[tykendo]

She's almost always in 5" heels.

I want to marry Brooke. Oh well, no chance there, but I can surely dream. She's awesome. The full meal deal.

 

[tykendo]

Nurk was amazing as well tonight. Love him too, but in a different way.

 

[KingSpeed]

stop!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. You need to chill, Bones. No one cares about Turner's rough stretch of D in a win.

 

[Strenuus]

Mo's shooting plus defense was really helping us. This really sucks. fuck fuck fuck. Why can't we field a healthy team in playoffs?? At least we won tonight.

Yep. sucks. Moe was really doing the best in his whole career.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yep. sucks. Moe was really doing the best in his whole career.

He'll be back to help us in the playoffs

 

[BonesJones]

I saw us turn that around with grit and effort...gave me joy....but hey...dude..it's why I don't hang in game threads much anymore....do whatever man

The fact that you cant handle the fact that im pointing out a bad 4 minute stretch from Turner is silly.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I got the Nurk pouring water on Dame on my Snapchat story and my phone is blowing up because of it lol

 

[joeBlazers]

Well ... Jake Layman. needs to step in for Moe.

 

[HailBlazers]

It depends on how large and where it is. I played with a buy who came back in a week but that is probably an extreme best case scenario.

Aka B-Roy in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Didn't Drexler have arthroscopic knee surgery during or right before 1992 playoffs? I think he did and hey, we reached the Finals!

 

[TBpup]

Well ... Jake Layman. needs to step in for Moe.

Next man up....even if it's Jake.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well ... Jake Layman. needs to step in for Moe.

hahahahahahahaha

The only game we might lose is at Houston, but we owe them one.

 

[kingslayer]

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Can we sign someone with an injury exception or something?

 

[tykendo]

I bet Harkless is out 4-6 weeks. That’s roughhhh. When he and Aminu are playing well we are on a whole other level. Aminu and Turner will really have to step up.

I'm thinking 2 to 3 weeks. Mark Schlereth of the Broncos played 6 days later after a similar surgery during their Super Bowl Championship run..

 

[kjironman1]

That was just crazy weird. There is a saying that you can tell when a team is tired because their shots hit the front of the rim. Tonight we actually had multiple shots not even reach the rim. Are they really that tired? Or were they just way off? One rest day off yesterday but just crazy off the charts shooting in a bad way.

 

[KingSpeed]

The only game we might lose is at Houston, but we owe them one.

And Harden and/or CP3 will probably rest during that game. They will have nothing to play for.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We'll be favored in every remaining game except @HOU

we don't have back to back days of rest again until after the season ends

ok Bones.....I'm fixing this...Go Blazers.......last thing I need is you telling me what I can't handle...it's not that...it's choices.....click..........

Not against the Blazers. They will play. Rockets hate the Blazers. Blazers are the one team everyone suits up for.

Only a 3-game road trip so I don't think it's fatigue. On the other hand, I guess a 12-game winning streak could be tiring.

Unless of course Houston simply rests its players.

Good for you, river man. I'm about to ignore the guy too.

What is your point? Not being snarky. A rest day should keep the shot in line don't you think?

 

[tykendo]

They won't rest. They hate the Blazers and vice versus. they don't want any mental edge to happen. They gave their all versus our boys, then pooped their pants the next night, but won anyways.
