Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 6: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - AUGUST 9, 2019 - SUNDAY, 3:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

I agree. Embiid was 1-6 before he left the game. The bigs that hurt the Blazers most are the ones who shoot a lot of 3s.

 

Hip injury

 

FIFY

 

Crazy thought: Whiteside is not gonna play a game for the Blazers anymore to not hurt is free agency. Think about it..

 

And? Barely beating teams playing their third-stringers means what to you exactly? Championship? WCF run again? Please, in your infinite wisdom, please share what their 4-2 record indicates to you, since you know so much about basketball. Go on record and predict where this team ends the season. Miss playoffs? First round loss? Second round? WCF? Finals? I’ll wait.

But, in the interim, keep standing on your soapbox and pretending like you know everything. What you have shown time and again is your blind adulation for one of the worst coaches in pro-sports in Terry Stotts ... it borders on hysterical at times.

 

I think he’s injured. Teams don’t lie for a quitter. Whiteside isn’t worried about free agency. He has a large sample of him killing this season. Teams know Nurk came back and Whiteside HAD to go to the bench. Their not dumb

 

didn't Dame miss about 7 games a season or two ago from a hip injury?

I don't know what the 'real' situation is but there seems to be a lot of assumption Whiteside is just dogging it instead of having a legitimate injury. Is there any evidence of that rather than some people just not liking him?

 

the latter for me. ive made no secrets about my feelings for his lazy game.

 

YEeeeEEeSSSsSsSsSsSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well it seems like Dame was not happy about missing two, late, FT's and took it out on the poor 76'ers. My goodness, what a statement! Too bad CJ couldn't join the party as well to make up for his two complete defensive lapses. Instead, he shoots poorly and gives up a ton to his SG counterpart.

No matter....much needed win and with another Grizzlies loss, they are right back to within 1/2 a game. Except for that meltdown against the Clipper scrubs, they would be #8 right now.

 

100%

 

Just because Stotts isn't the #1 coach in pro-sports, it doesn't make him one of the worst. How many pro-sports coaches have won THREE, count them THREE playoff series without home court advantage? How many pro-sports coaches have won a Game 7 on the road? How many pro-sports coaches have reached the Conference Finals despite both starting center and back up center being hurt and only 1 All Star on the roster? How many pro-sports coaches have gotten his team to the playoffs 6 straight times? Stotts is not #1 coach. But he definitely isn't one of the worst. Not even close.

 

CJ hit one of the most important shots in the game. After Melo's three cut the deficit in half, CJ created a midrange shot for himself and knocked it down to cut the deficit to 1.

 

Sorry dude if you predicted we wouldn't win anymore games, then the egg is on your face and no one else's.

 

The difference between a starter and a rotational player is very little in this league. Something about the venue is showing that to be a huge factor. Players that usually light it up in practice but wilt in real games are showing their skill levels. Those second string "Non Star Players" are coming up big. It isn't just against the Blazers either. Watch some games.

 

Childish and immature, maybe baby

 

I have a 4 month old that is offended by this please refrain from coupling all babies together.

I do have a 4 month old. However. I cannot believe i actually felt i needed to make that post green.

 

When do I owe you rent?

 

Hey, you are the one who predicted no more wins. Now you are making excuses. Own your mistake.
