    Giles always plays with heart, it’s never preseason for him after what he’s been through.

    Damn, length and crazy depth. No Nurk, Hood or Collins and it was wire-to-wire win.

    What the hell happened to Simon's though? He wasn't on the bench or anything.

    It's hard to describe..... he was very active on defense, seemed solid, but also the refs were letting a lot of contact go so it was hard to say.

    He hit a couple shots. He played pretty in control overall for a first game as a rookie. I was impressed.

    Of course we're better off than last season but he CHOSE to play those guys without giving others on our roster a chance. Little had given us some solid minutes at times as well.

    Giles finally is healthy and he look like the player that ever one thought he be from HS days. The defense really pick up in the 2nd half when they sub Jones and Covington in. A lot balls deflection in that 2nd half.

    Although they don't hand out trophies and awards in preseason, I think it's safe to wonder why the Kings were thinking by not making the choice to keep Giles.

    I am fully aware that it's just 1 single game, but he looked really good out there. And not "playing way out of his normal" good either. Like, it didn't really appear that what he did was that unusual for him.

    Granted, the Kings blow but the Blazers didn't really utilize his passing at all.

    If he even plays. He's fighting for 18-20 MPG with 2 other players....but if he plays like this it's gonna be hard to keep him off the floor.

    That's what sucks about this. Really wish we could have gotten him on a longer deal.

    TBH, not even that far off. I thought his defense was more than solid. Offense....close your eyes.
