    Ah! Finally a game I get to see on TV. Thanks to the Warriors making sure their contractor puts their games on Dish/Directv
    CSN BA is on Dish, standard package too.

    I think they'll end up signing Stiemsma just to move him in a trade with another bench player to be determined

    Idk if Northern Oregon gets these channels on Playstation Vue too, but down here we get CSN Northwest, California, and Bay area. It's kind of cool getting the Warrior and King broadcasts too.

    I'd much rather watch a preseason Blazer game over a Duck game right now.

    Noah has looked a lot better this pre-season than I've ever seen him. He actually has an impact and can take people down low. He seems to be less tenative.

    Nothing like a hot bowl of pho to cure your ills and prep for a preseason showdown. I must be really sick because I've got Dame's album on and I don't really like rap.

    16 fouls in 85 minutes. He can't play this way in the regular season if he wants to help the team.

    I think he's the X factor break out guy this season..he's put on a lot of upper body muscle...he already was an anchor when he plants himself..and 21..I think he'll be an impact PF and bump Meyers in the rotation

    That's why we have all those big guys...lots and lots of fouls to give in the frontcourt...so Noah fouls out....Meyers fouls out...Stiemsmario fouls out..Davis fouls out...Plumlee fouls out....Aminu and Layman get in foul trouble...so long as it's not before half time I think we're good

    The point is, he's not better than last year, coaches are just taking advantage of preseason to try playing like Aminu and Davis, but he can't sustain this in regular season without fouling too much.

    He's coachable and young so probably taking your advice on his IPhone right now! Way to think outside the box coach!!!

    I think he's better, but that's why I do the Mark Jackson role and you do the Jeff Van Gundy part

    I wonder if these Warriors will get a bit of the disease that soe of the Team USAs had in the early 2000s. They sort of coasted and took turns going one on one because they were so confident in their talent, but they barely beat a lot of inferior teams (and in fact failed to even medal one year)
