Game Thread GAME# 6: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 2, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

Big picture, we all knew the first 20ish games were tough. This the first game back from a long road trip and they go back on the road Monday. They don't really have a homestand for a while. They're still on pace to make it out of that at .500. They obviously have a lot of injury concerns right now but the sky isn't falling. Losing big leads sucks, hopefully, Hood's alright and Whiteside not playing was mostly precautionary.

 

Up 20 with just over 2 minutes to go in the 3rd and to lost in regulation is quite the collapse. Yes, losing Hood hurt but the turnovers and the defense was abyssmal. And CJ's lack of passing to WIDE OPEN teammates over and over and over again is mind boggling.

That is quite the collapse and a game they should have won. Starting 0-2 at home hurts.

 

When was the last time we started 0-2 at home?

 

It is tough yes but at least win the home games

 

Accurate

 

Just get out of it with a decent enough record you can take advantage of the schedule as it gets easier.

 

I missed the game, reply to this with your recaps

 

Evening went well for 3.6 hours of the Duck game. Was bouncing to the Blazer game during stoppages. Saw the Blazers with an 18 point lead...thought 'they got this'. Had somebody call on the phone I had to answer. Came back to the Blazer game and saw Hood lying on the floor then watched Portland lose

so the Blazers put a little damper on the night but the Duck win was awesome. Win some, choke some

 

Blazers had one healthy big in Skal, shot lights out from 3, but they were very sloppy. Dame's incredible. Hood got hurt status TBD. Blazers got up by 19 in the third, but finished the quarter really badly. Skal didn't play much in the 4th quarter and it showed they were just too big and were getting all the rebounds and scoring in the paint at will. The last few seconds were interesting. Simons hit a 3 to go ahead, then a guy from Philly hit a 3 with .4 to win it.

 

He’s been garbage for a while, he’s super overrated.

 

Hood

 

Well, he already got paid lol

 

What a disaster of a season so far

 

True, and that’s unfortunate. He should have been traded like long ago, the lack of size from our guards is such an Achilles heel on defense.

 

Better call up Jesus. The janitor.

I'm sure he can fill in. Because fuck if I know what we're going to do.

 

Does Jesus Hoop?

 

There's no excuse for playing Tolliver at the end. Terry is a fool for putting him so high on the pecking order. Not good for the future of the franchise, not good for the current squad, so why does he continue to play a very low quality basketball talent instead of one like Skal with dramatically more suitable skills? Oh confident Terry, you just lost another game.
