Can you at least let us get home before you create a damn thread for the next game........ FAMS!?

Strenuus · Mar 7, 2017

Be consistent. You're doing good so far, Blazers.

Do they make Bosnian cowbells?

No, but they make this!

Mediocre Man · Mar 8, 2017

So the poll question is will they win at least 6 in a row this season

My name is Blazer W and I am a Nurkoholic

If we do end up making the playoffs, I have an inkling that we will really miss Ed Davis. Seeing him on the injury report just doesn't feel right. That extra depth down low would definitely be helpful vs. GS or SA.

rotary111 · Mar 8, 2017

We are in trouble if Nurkic gets in foul trouble. Losing Ed will hurt us if we make the playoffs for sure. I would expect NO to bring in another big.

Would a street free agent be playoff eligible? Not like stotts would play him anyway.

If Meyers can continue to bang down low and hit threes like he did against the Thunder we will be fine.

I'm hopeful for the 300th time. He is nearing a full year off the shoulder surgery, now would be a good time for him to hit his stride.

Optimism Post:
7 games behind OKC
20 games left in season
Need to win 14 of 20 to get to .500.

EL PRESIDENTE · Mar 8, 2017

Alaa Abdelnaby is a reporter or commentator for the sixers. I really wanted to meet him pregame but I am not gonna make the game.

stampedehero · Mar 9, 2017

We can't take this game lightly. Henderson is back in town.

Mediocre Man · Mar 9, 2017

Alaa Abdelnaby would have been a much better hire than Hurd.

Still one of the funniest things I've heard is when someone asked him about Duke's academic standards, and he said "The only way I could make 5 A's in college was to spell my name"

Pay attention to my guy Saric tonight. He and Julius Randle are my guys to consider as PFotF

Ha that is wishful thinking. I am pretty sure they love the idea of a Saric., Embiid, Simmons front court. Or at least they should be.

Quite a difference in what the Sixers should be doing and what they actually are.

Exactly they're the type that would deal saric for more picks.

Blazer4ever · Mar 9, 2017

We need to win this one FAMS!!! (I'm doing it right?)
It's a game we should win but we shouldn't come to this overconfident and slip (or sleep) on this one, gotta make this a W and keep rolling

I don't think Bryan Colangelo is that stupid. The prior regime made some bad picks, some of which were because of the lotteries they were in. But nonetheless I think he has identified their core young players and are moving the rest as they come up for their next contract. Saric is a rookie. He is not going anywhere.

You would think that Noel would have brought back more.......but apparently not that much more.
