    When are the blazers playing and will there be any way to listen to the games?

    Not sure if the game, which is at 5:30 PDT, is on the radio, but it is on NBATV at 10pm tomorrow night.

    Bravo to Austin Rivers for actually looking like a NBA player so far this time around

    Another SWEET pass from Schroeder to a streaking Muscala. With Bebe, Schroeder and Muscala, this Atlanta team is stacked with guys we were talking about before the draft.

    (Incidentally, it's not Shrooder, it's Shrerder (only pronounced the English way, silent 'r'). Why is it that Americans treat every foreign syllable as an "oo" (as in Peugeot, which is also an "er" sound)?)

    Didn't recognize Tyronn Lue (now assistant coach with the Clips) without the braids.

    Wow - Marjanovic could appear in a Lord of the Rings movie with no makeup required... He's like a seven foot goblin. His ears alone are amazing.

    ...see what I mean?

    I nominate him as the New Gheorghe Muresan. He's actually pretty good! For someone who moves as fast as continental drift.

    Because there's a fucking O in it and not a fucking R?

    But the o in Schröder has an umlaut, so Rasta is correct. It's not that hard.

    Most professional sports commentators (in every sport) are anything but when it comes to name pronunciation.

    Too bad yours is the only post with the actual umlaut (fucking Christ its nearly impossible to type umlaut on a phone without fat fingering the delete key). Anyway I was being a little ironic; but doesn't the umlaut over an o mean its an ooh?

    EDIT: just spent three minutes trying to wiki pronounce the name and its just not a vowel combination Americans will ever get more than half right. The closest I can come is Schrrrrdrrr. I sound like Hodor.

    ...and with that, BC came up with Sherderrrrs new nickname.

    Also, we Americans are so stupid! I mean, that gall of pronouncing Schroder "SHROW-der". Ethnocentric pricks!

    My Austrian last name is mispronounced all of the time by these silly Americans. Can I see if Rasta can pronounce it, and then call him an idiot if he gets it wrong?

    The worse crime is conjuring the ghost of Ricky Schroeder, of Silver Spoons game. :ghoti:

    I hate trying to discuss pronunciation via a text based medium. I don't know why I got involved, I really shouldn't have.

    Reggie Miller just spent 5 minutes calling Matthew Dellavedova "Delledova". Should've taken the easy option, and called him Delly.

    Dellavedova would have double figure assists if his Cleveland teammates could hit wide open jump shots. He was also coaching his own teammates out on the court. :cool:

    I never was very good at figuring out how to pronounce things by looking at the phonetic symbols.

    I don't get the Shrerder, but don't pronounce the r, example? Greek to me.

    I would have thought it was Schrayder. :dunno:

    Too bad he's not a Blazer, then I could just rely on Mike Rice's pronunciation like I always do. :pimp:

    What's in a name? That which we call a shrowder, by any other name would play as sweet

    Whoa! I thought this was a joke/photoshopped. He looks like an elementary school student there.

    Less than 24 hours away from the Blazers' first summer league game and they haven't released a starting line-up yet?

    My guess is:
    PG: CJ
    SG: Crabbe
    SF: Claver
    PF: T-Rob
    C: Meyers

    Barton can come in off the bench and create shots for himself and the second unit. Freeland can play both back-up PF or back-up C. Hopefully, these 7 guys get the bulk of all the minutes. I wanna see what we have in these youngsters.
