    I also expect a L, i would be surprised if the Blazers win thid game, but you never know. One thing i am sure is Embiid will kill Nurkic. Nurk will Foul 2 times after 3 minutes and Then sit on the Bench many many times during the game because he cant Stop Embiid without Fouling. At the end of the game he will have round about 15 minutes and 4 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assist, 4 turnover. Yes that's what I expect from our "Future Center". While Embiid will have over 25 points and 8-10 Rebounds

    You're track record is pretty bad.
    Maybe you should stop predicting wins or losses until you get a better handle on the association.

    Our starting frontcourt is 22 and 23 years old....that's the way to build a team! Nurk and Vonleh!

    Yeah that is what I thought about George with the Blazers ......and then again with OKC. Yet they are currently 7-9. Yes I am sure they will turn it around, but still not exactly the dominant force we thought they would be.

    I just mean from the standpoint that every starter would be 6'9 or taller.

    This prediction is good. It means we're more likely to win.

    Pat Connaughton is going to dunk on Joel Embiid so hard he's going to request a trade. I think nurk gets up for this game, he'll lead the team in scoring until he and Embiid get thrown out of the game simultaneously for head butting each other.

    I'm intrigued by the idea of putting Vonleh on Simmons. Back off, make him a jumpshooter. If Simmons drives, Vonleh has the lateral quickness to stay in front of guards, he should be able to stay in front of Simmons, and the length to bother his shot. Could Vonleh keep it up all game? I doubt it, but I'd love to see the matchup at least a few times.

    Since I grew up and have lived in Jersey, the Sixers are the major NBA team in this part of the State. I followed the team over the years, but especially loved the Dr. J days.

    I will be traveling and making connections much of the game. Unfortunate. Just hoping Nurk plays smart and stays out of foul trouble.

    As usual,nice thread DW. Going to get off work early to watch this game. Either way, I like the way they play, so this should challenge our Blazers.
