Game Thread 2025 PRESEASON GAME #1 - BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - WED- OCT 8 2025 - 7:00 PM PST - NBA TV - BV - KUNP

I think if Murray could shoot he wouldn't have shot 42% on FG's, 23% on three's, and 46% on FT's last season

 

Wow they lost

 

We're gonna be a problem - For many

 

watching parts of the game and watching Sharpe, and remembering what he did last season without Ant, that Simons trade may open up Sharpe's game pretty significantly. Too bad Scoot is hurt

 

He’s also missed some games because of tanking.

 

Jimmy Butler maybe?

 

All over it as usual. Well done Jinx!

 

You have me blocked too FAMS?

 

Which ever one of you was talking about Yang being an allstar in two years. Your posting privileges should be revoked FAMS!

 

It doesn’t count, but it’s really a shame that Portland didn’t win this game. We were clearly the better team with our rotation players in the game. You’ve all waited long enough, so here are my observations

Love the offense. Way more motion

Love the defense. We are pests

Sharpe was clearly our best player. If he doesn’t start….well, you know

Camara looked good. Should be one of everyone’s top two players on the team this year

Clingan made 2 layups, which equaled last years total. Looked slightly more mobile…maybe?

Holiday’s offensive game was a bit rough, but he was a pest on defense

Grant is trash. Ball movement stopped when he touched the ball. Get him off the floor. ESPECIALLY with the starters. Him being a +8 should be a clue that +/- is a worthless stat (not a shtick, he was not good)

Avdija was good, although I thought he played too quick at times.

Yang looked like a rookie.

Murray just can’t do it. He just can’t shoot

Wesley/Love need Scoot to come back so they can get paid to watch basketball from amazing seats

 

Remind me, was that the episode where the Hound ate all the chickens?

 

I know you're posturing, but come on, Hansen surely had nerves and had to deal with the language barrier and needs time to adjust. He will figure it out. And he's super smart, so you can imagine he's going to watch film and look to correct his mistakes.

 

The thing about Jrue offensively is that even if it didn't look spectacular, I always had the feeling we were going to run an offense and get a decent shot with him at point, and that's all I'm really asking of him. He brings a presence, a calm, a confidence that you can't really measure in statistics.

 

Players deserved a win, not a humiliating loss. One coach wants to win, the other apparently thinks losing is OK.

 

Those mad we lost i do not think are seeing the big picture.
We won this game with our rotation guys. Game over in three. Then we played gleague/end of benchers because its the only time they will get playing time to evaluate without jeopardizing a regular season win.
Now is the time to let the scrubs play and see if there is future potential or not.

This was a win win game.

 

IT'S PRESEASON! the bench lost the game, the starters kicked some ass on the Warriors starters.

 

definition of diminishing return

 

I feel same way about Love felt that way during summer league. He’s a me guy

 

I think Chauncey knows what he's doing by bringing Deni off the bench and continuing to start Grant. You can't immediately bench a vet like Grant without him explicitly losing his starting spot. If, after the pre-season, he plays legitimately worse than both Deni and Toumani (which it's looking like), then you can actually approach Grant with the justification for him coming off the bench.
