    I don't mind starting with two but don't they need to be merged before the game starts?

    From watching the way that guy plays i totally see why he gets injured. He puts his body on the line a bunch every game. Goes full speed ahead and with total abandon. He is amassing nagging injuries quickly.

    Is this game going to be live on Root Sports? I see Kraken 101 on at 4:00pm on my guide.

    In Oregon and SW Washington - probably not in the other areas.

    Portland Pregame Quotes

    CHAUNCEY BILLUPS – TRAIL BLAZERS HEAD COACH


    On the plan for Tony Snell tonight:

    “Yeah, it’s just tough when you haven’t gotten to practice. He has been working extremely hard and obviously he’s ready to go, but we’ll just kind of see how it goes. Everyone takes this plan really well right now so we’ll just kind of feel and go.”


    On if he sees Tony Snell as more of a two or a three:

    “Three, but even in today’s game he can be a 2, 3 or 4. So many teams play smaller lineups now, but just having him, he can shoot it obviously and he can defend, he’s going to play the right way. So, I envision him being a big piece for us this year.”


    On if Tony Snell has participated fully in practice:

    “No because we haven’t really had practice. But he’s doing two-on-twos and one-one-ones and he’s really pushing himself. That’s pretty much all he’s been able to do.”


    On what he has seen lately that he likes:

    “I like the fact that we’ve just been kind of on one string defensively. We’ve had a ton of breakdowns to be honest with you, but we play so hard that we’ve been able to cover for some of those and make up for some of those lapses. It’s the NBA, it’s basketball. You’re going to have breakdowns, you’re going to have those situations. If you’re playing hard enough and competing hard enough, sometimes you can make up for it, sometimes you can’t, Nobody’s going to play perfect basketball, so I just want us to continue competing and communicating on defense. It seems like when it’s going right it’s so much fun to do, these dudes are having a lot of fun. They like to take pride in getting kills, which is three stops in a row for us. They take pride in that when you start doing it so I would like to see that continue.”

    JAMES BORREGO – HORNETS HEAD COACH


    On Terry Rozier’s status for tonight:

    “He’s warming up right now. We’ll see how he comes out of that. But he’s warming up with the intent to play.”


    On Cody Zeller returning for his first game back to Charlotte on another team:

    “I loved coaching him. Absolute pro. Came to work every day, put in his time. Great teammate. Did everything we asked as a staff of him. Never complained, brought it every single day. Played extremely hard and I’m just thankful for my time with him. He was a fantastic person be around no. 1 and a great player. I know he’s going to help those guys out in Portland, but nothing but positives for Cody. He was fantastic here.”


    On if they have been cautious with Terry in recent games:

    “Yeah, we’ll be cautious. We’ve been cautious with all our guys. It’s early in the season, we didn’t want to put him out there. Terry wanted to play two, three games ago. We want to make sure we’re not rushing him back, we don’t have any setbacks and that we get him ready for this long stretch. It’s a marathon here. Hopefully he’s ready to go tonight.”

    Well this sucks. Doesn't look like I get to watch the game tonight no root plus for me. Things like this is why I am watching less and less. Don't worry though, they will be showing the Kraken here in Central Oregon.
