Highlights of the pre-season game from NBA.com They should have included some more Oden dunks. Where's his alley oop slam from Andre?
We look really good you guys!!! I have not felt this good about a team we have had since the Clyde days.
I think he's got a lot of great physical tools, but I'm still waiting to see the playmaking tools catch up a little bit. Hopefully Andre's game rubs off on him a little bit, it was interesting to read a couple of comments in the game thread (posted by somebody who watched the game live) on blazersedge.com. Somebody pointed out how Andre at one point was calling the play for Jerryd from the baseline and another time got on his ass when they were running the break and Jerryd had Miller on the wing, and instead of passing it to him or the other open wing, he bull rushed the defense and picked up a charge. The teacher is there, but is the student listening?
I found the end very humorous... "Who would the Kings go to? who would they try to get to win this thing?" Then they show Sergio taking a long contested 3.
Yeah he blew it twice pretty hard in the last 30 seconds lol I was thinking of Maris the entire time.
If Miller can be the blue fairy to Bayless' Pinocchio ("I want to be a real-live point guard!"), then Mike Rice will have been dead wrong on his team MVP prediction.
And yet... his +/- was a ridiculous +7 in only 5 minutes of play. The Kings outscored the Blazers by more than a point a minute while he was on the floor. Kevin Martin, by contrast, was a -10 in 35 minutes.
Last night? Can't say I agree, the game sounded really sloppy with turnovers, offensive fouls and at times they could barely hold the Kings at bay ... granted they sat a lot of guys and the two best players on our team didn't do a whole lot, but last night is not what I would call a confidence inspiring performance -- this team has a lot of work to do.
