I've always been a big proponent of Boogie coming to Portland but I think that I've finally changed my stance. If he ever wanted to be the "missing piece" anywhere, he should have treated Sacramento that way. To me, he isn't a motivated player. That's a player I don't think I want.
Chandler Parsons hasn't been able to play in preseason because of his rehabbing. Which means had we landed him he would have been sat out of training camp (I think he just started practicing last week). Which is a big deal for a guy going to a new team. Wonder if we dodged a bullet with that one...
I can see clearly with my Rose-Garden-colored glasses that the Olympics really changed him. Seriously, they've drafted 3 centers in the last 2 years. He wa3 +17 against the crappy LAL, only to have the team lose by 19: yes, without Boogie Excremento was -36. These are reasonable reasons to ask for a trade, and he hasn't, so there's a big more evidence of his maturity. The best thing for Sactown would be for Boogie to ask for a trade (KLove-style) so they could take a year and a half finding the best offer.
Holy Stereotypical old black dude, it's Eddie Johnson unintentionally doing his best Sanford and Sons impersonation: http://hoopshype.com/category/free-agency/?bctid=5159814515001
2 interesting games tonight: Haifa @ the 0-2 Kings. If the Kings lose this one...... Utah @ LAC. Neither team wants to drop to 1-2, even in the preseason.
I watched parts of the Clipper-Utah game and I have to say although I still think the Jazz are over hyped, they are still going to be pretty damn good. Losing Hayward will hurt for the the first 6 weeks, but once he gets back they are going to be tough. The reason I say that is Hood. He looks much improved in attacking the basket. And George Hill seems to fit in with their style perfectly. I may have to eat my words about them. They play great D and they take good shots. Not liking what I saw. And that was without Hayward and Favors.
I watched part of that game also, and I guess I didn't know Felton went to the Clippers. Easily my least favorite team for the upcoming season.
Kings destroyed Haifa. Clips lost to Utah by 2, and they've dropped to 1-2. CP had a +/- of +10, but Griffin only had +1, and DJ had -1. If I were a Clips fan, I'd be nervous. I hate the Clips, so they can .....
OT: This WNBA finals game looks sloppier than the sloppiest of NBA preseason games. So many missed open shots...
Sergio off the bench tonight vs Memphis: 1-5 (1-4 from 3) 2 rb 3 steals 2 assists on 7 turnovers 3 fouls 4 points +/-: -20
Same old Sergio. Someone told me he acquired a jump shot while playing in Spain since his last attempt to play in the big league. Guess he forgot to pack it. BNM
Man, this DRose trial just took a weird turn. The LAPD detective investigating Rose was just found dead with a gunshot to her (edit) head. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lapd-employee-dead-whittier-20161012-snap-story.html Fuck.
