Notice TRAIL BLAZERS ASSIGN CLIFF ALEXANDER AND LUIS MONTERO TO D-LEAGUE’S SANTA CRUZ WARRIORS

If you must. The jlprk is my mother's initials, so you're calling me a couple of girl's names, but I haven't told you that, so you don't know, so what do I care.

 

JL it is then!

 

There's a fine line between humorous put-downs and sarcasm. My comments like, "Alexander is height-challenged. This will be a problem throughout his 15-year NBA career" probably get read seriously when they mean the opposite. I'm watching this short ultra-raw player thinking, he's 2 years away from being 2 years away, but the reader maybe thinks that I really think he'll last 15 years.

Alexander needs 2 years to become a substitute center, then 2 years to convert to substitute forward. Montero will be a starting SF before that.

 

Luis Montero - I hope we keep this kid. He's got talent.

 

Really appreciate your posts Jlprk, amazed at the overall talent of our entire roster. It seems likes everybody has the potential to be a player.

 

Montero looked great, I like that they're both getting a chance. Cliff didn't surprise me, this is kind of what I expected including the few games it'll take him to get in game shape. Montero surprised me very much, didn't see this potential in summer league, this was a very impressive performance

 

BUPGOTF?

 

So much for my two guesses....jesus loves people's republic of korea or jail park....boy was I wrong

 

Weird to see MVP vets like Gomes and Brewer in the D-League.

 

Not as weird as seeing Antoine Walker in the D league though

 

I wouldn't word it that he put on an overall performance, just that he displayed excellent all-around skills. It's like the difference between getting an A in your Theater Arts class vs. producing a whole popular stage play. He can't put it together into anything constructive. It's like when Batum would show glimpses of great defense in his first couple of seasons.

Jesus does love North Korea. Well at least he did when I stopped going to church in 1968. But that would bankrupt the military-industrial complex, so keep it under your hat.

 

NEXT GAME 6:00 PDT TONIGHT, SUNDAY MARCH 13.

Last night, Standard Time became Daylight Time!!!!

No Blazer game today. You have no excuse. Be there or be square. Video:

I couldn't make the thread last night. I'm ashamed and disappointed. Maybe tonight, if I have enough time for mental preparation. Go Abalone!

 

You have invented a rather fishy excuse. It's important; otherwise Sly would have typed the thread title in lower case letters.

 

I think Montero is going to be a great addition to the Blazers guard rotation someday

 

I just had a momentary power failure. My computer immediately restarted, but now I'm thinking, what will happen to all the posters I'm empowered to take care of today in this thread if I suddenly disappear? So now, while I'm still here, I want to encourage you to keep the thread going. Don't cry for me. Continue your lives with humor and humility. Don't get drunk just because I'm gone. Get stoned because I'm gone.

I was reading a Guardian article from Google News, about the Democratic debate. Supposed to be live, and I wanted to know whether there's a live debate right now. The crash happened just as I clicked on a Twitter post with an embedded video of Sanders and Clinton in a debate, unknown whether past or present. Could the NSA have been sending me a message? If so, the next step is for a beautiful seductress to show up at my door while I'm commenting on today's thread, leaving all of you in my charge in limbo. You must carry on. Don't grieve for me, Carolina. We have to win this game today and you must let nothing, nothing stand in our way.

It's windy, banging on my window. Unless that's her. We shall soon know my fate.

 

Timezones confuses me. Is the game starting in 45 minutes ? If that's the case I might watch a bit of it.

 

We lost power for a second not long ago..heavy winds..could be we're all headed for OZ and the yellow brick road! Hang onto your sneakers folks...there's a storm brewing in the northwest!

 

Yes. I got on at 6:09 and the score was 16-9, us up. Now 16-11, timeout. I don't get it, assuming they started at 6:00, even if exactly then.

 

Our 2 players aren't on the floor right now. Were they called back? If so, why? There is no Blazer game tonight. A 6 foot 10 player is also assigned, Kevon Looney, and gets featured time. He's playing right now.
