Game Thread 2022-23 Game #45 - BLAZERS VS 76ERS - JANUARY 19, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Nurk's certainly not the reason we're down like this early ... not being able to make open shots is the reason for that.

But the whole whining about every call gets old. What gets even older is when you let an athletic 280-pound guy get inside position on you, get the ball, and you commit a useless foul when you know we don't have anyone else that can guard that guy.

How long do you have to be playing in the NBA to understand when waving the white flag on defense for a possession or two isn't the smarter thing to do? Don't airball a 3 and get beaten up the floor and then commit a foul when you have no chance to defend the shot early in the game.

 

how the fuck is that not a foul on embiid

 

Damn Embiid was a beast with that block

 

The first game against Dallas was really solid. He only had 21 points but it was on 12 shots, he had 5 assists and 0 turnovers and he got 2 blocked shots.

If you're only interested in scoring he had a 30 point game nine games ago on the second of this month against Detroit.

 

if nurk got away with the kinda contact that embiid is getting away with at the rim, he'd be on an all nba defense team

 

He is just a beast. The level of athleticism and skill at his size is really impressive.

 

If the Blazers could just make their layups they would be winning this game.

 

Damn even good shots aren't falling. There's a lid on that hoop tonight.

 

can we start this shitshow over again?

 

Calling that timeout didn't make much of a difference.

 

Blazers better hope Ant makes a leap

 

I’ve seen enough man Ant sucks

 

The ball does not want to go in lol

 

Fucking Holton plagiarizing my "lid" on the hoop.

 

Home Games hahaha. Another L

 

Nurk was out in 4 minutes. Yes that is a huge reason they are down.

 

Sometimes when I am deciding if a player is good I imagine if all 5 players on the court were the same player. I.e. 5 LBJ's would be unstoppable, 5 Embiid's would work damn well too. 5 of Simons would just be a TO/chuck-fest.

 

ya cuz our coach didn't make a single adjustment outside of subs. seems like yet another game when he has the team woefully underprepared.

 

Any word on Lamar???

 

I wonder if a team has ever won a game shooting under 25%?
