No rest for the weary (or the home team, I guess). It's bullshit that the Blazers have to play a back-to-back at home, while the Sixers have been off since Thursday, but them's the breaks.

No excuses, the Blazers better win this one because it is the LAST GAME OF THE YEAR. We need to close out the year strong for momentum going into 2019.

I hope the Blazers treat this game like the NBA Finals, or specifically the 1977 NBA Finals, when Portland beat Philadelphia.

Let's end 2018 with a bang and a win!

No Embiid, Nurk better destroy

I've heard the Blazers get to play a lot of games where the other team is missing a star player. Is that true?

blazerkor · Dec 29, 2018

If Dame shows up, Nurk shows up and we get something from CJ and the rest; then this is a win.

Chris Craig · Dec 29, 2018

I hope the Blazers take out their anger at the warriors on the 76ers

THE HCP · Dec 29, 2018

Is it me or do we play a lot of teams without some of their best players?

Whatever they have Butler

But we have Harkless. He needs to be ready for this match up. I wish Embiid played, I think we can beat them in full force, we have good matchups against them.

Whenever I go to your house, you're missing in action!

Now tell me I forgot the BAM.

Hey Darkwebs, when are you going to let HCP make a game thread?

"It always fun to play these teams during the regular season because it prepares us for the play-"

(PHONE RINGS, ANSWERS)

"Oh really, we are playing them again.... Nevermind."

Embid obviously fears the Bosnian Beast....the best players from teams we destroy don't want that associated with their game or stats! FAMS!!!! The Blazers are the NBA's version of Fear Factor!

Playing ET sometimes feels like tanking..

@HCP gets the pre-season threads. Even that is indulgence.

THE HCP · Dec 30, 2018

Well according to a bunch here we were destined for greatness this season. HCA in the playoffs, 50+ wins........ only thing I can think of that will keep this from happening is the JinxSpeed guy and DarkWingDuck's attempts at game threads. Holler when you need The HCP, he's always here for ya'.

THE HCP · Dec 30, 2018

No Embid......I repeat No Embid.

Jade Falcon · Dec 30, 2018

Alright porn.....you get a reprieve tonight. I've got a Blazer game on soon.

BlazerBeav · Dec 30, 2018

Need another big game from Nurk now that there's no one to defend him.

KingSpeed · Dec 30, 2018

Nurk dominated Embiid last season.

THE HCP · Dec 30, 2018

No Mo......I repeat No Mo.

His knee?

That hurts

Who is guarding Butler?

Labinot41 · Dec 30, 2018

The funny Thing is, 6ers let their rookie Shamet play all season, and our rookies are sitting in a suit behind the bench

KeepOnRollin · Dec 30, 2018

Yes. But will Layman start?

kjironman1 · Dec 30, 2018

So on the poll is 10 the best or 1? I'm assuming 1 would be the best because it's on top?

Chris Craig · Dec 30, 2018

KeepOnRollin said:

Hopefully. Probably fucking Turner knowing Stotts

TorturedBlazerFan · Dec 30, 2018

THE HCP said:

General soreness?

This just explained to me why Turner gets so many minutes...
