Game Thread GAME# 18: BLAZERS @ 76ERS - NOVEMBER 22, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Man Turner is Trash!!!

 

How infuriating is Embiid? JJ REDDICK is the second most punchable face on the team.

 

Oh shit I do that all the time

 

Well turner was surprised himself he got that offer. It was one of the first done deals of free agency as well. I also believe as soon as we knew whiteside wasn’t coming or Parsons it was a panic move

 

Let see want the young guys do.

 

I just said that

 

You can't build a team without free agency. I don't care what people say. Doesn't matter what core you put together, because at some point your veteran stars will get sick of waiting and just move on.... no matter what you pay them. There is maybe 15 markets where the current NBA model for success works. The rest are just keeping their players prisoner. Anybody who disputes this is delusional or a big market fan in denial about the broken system.

 

That’s why I told ya for couple years now let’s hit the lottery

But noooooooo

 

Olshey do something, I dont care

Tunchi says hi.

 

I'm not mad about this game. I'm most hopeful that Dame is developing Andre Miller rubber ankles.

 

Good thing I worked through this bullshit... 5 points for CJ??

 

Man, the only thing that could make this season quasi-interesting now is to see more Zach Collins or a big time trade.

 

this roster is loaded with mediocre NBA players. But then when they have a good game everyone thinks THAT is really them. No. They are really the mediocre player. It’s why I picked them to have 37 wins. They have Lillard and CJ and that back court isn’t going to work long term. Nurk has talent but he’s a ways off from being a reliable third star because until he decides to play with a permanent chip on his shoulder he’ll get beat. And that’s it. Mo is Mo. Not sure why all the “breakout” stuff. People got fired up because Pat had a random great game. Then Noah. Then Ed. Then Meyers. Then Shabazz. None of them can do it over and over. Not even close. This is exactly who we should have thought they were. Neil has to fix it and the only way that happens is with some real tough, unpopular decisions. Remember, at the time, when Monta Ellis was traded to Milwaukee for Bogut half of the GS fans were unhappy. It turned out ok. Shit half wanted Steph to go not Ellis. People don’t like to hear the comparison but it’s not far off.

 

Yes you did. I read it as it was a close call or something. My bad.

 

Collins needs to play. LAYMAN have minutes tonight are you serious? He's AWFULL! That's a tough game, gotta move on to the next and beat the nets on Friday.

 

Noah is our best rebounder (especially since nobody else does it...) and it's not even close.

I say we cut a few people and bring in Jordan. We might have to eat the LT though. But no more Meyers, Turner, and Layman. Or trade CJ for Jordan, maybe?

 

Dame had 30 Napier 13 and Nurk had decent 2nd half except at the free throw but he had double double. Vonleh again had double rebounds.
