The UnOfficial Portland V Phoenix Game Thread!

Normally, yeah.... but this is preseason. I don't think Stotts cares that much.

 

Seriously dude?

Step.. Away.. From the Ledge

 

The Ledge is like The Darkside. If you listen to Mixum long enough, you'll start to turn.

 

Lopez was invisible!

Crabbe looks nice.

Meyers, all 7'1" 270 lbs of him, sure looks like he's on that Bargnani path.

I like this grit from Robinson. He's crashing the boards like Faried and throwing bows like Reggie Evans. I like this combo.

 

Hey, it was ugly just watching the "play-by-play" on ESPN.com. Right now the Blazers barely resemble an NBA team. Let's hope that changes real soon.

 

We have so many decent guards.

I'm thinking Wes + Leonard for Asik. Think they'd bite?

 

Back from the game. OK going to try and be positive.

If the starting unit can play like they did last year , that is counting on Lopez having an impact on the court like Hickson, different type of impact but needs to be an impact player, then this team should be improved. No reason to think the starting unit can't perform like last year . . . so thing look good right?

(Not going to take it deeper than that because it will make me think about the game and talk about the air being taken out of my Blazer excitement ballon)

 

I've been to both games so far, and can honestly say these have been some of the most boring preseason games I've been to. We looked all kinds of confused out there tonight. The in-game presentation is even worse than a regular season game (which is saying something with the stale Todd Squad gig). Amazing that 8,000 others showed up for this too.

 

I did not see the game, but just from the boxscore Barton has given me hope. Sure would like to get that line out of him every night. Couple 3's , couple assists, couple blocks, couple rebounds........+14 when he was on the floor.

I am happy with our PG's and our SF's and our PF's.
The center spot will just be OK.
It all comes hown to our shooting guards. Crabbe and Will gave me hope tonight. They will be very inconsistent from one night to the next. ......but how they play will be the key to the game every night .

 

Seriously, and how many times are we going to have to watch kids do the tricycle race or bowl with basketballs?! Surely somewhere there's a team with some other promotions that might at least break up the monotony. It's not like I'm asking for real halftime entertainment or anything - even the kids scrimmaging beats the other crap they put on during the game.

Also, that Disney trivia contest was awful. Everyone knows the character's name is NOT Sleeping Beauty, it's Aurora. Shameful that they counted that.

 

lol . . . I'm with you on that whole post. Please change the whole routine.

Although I admittedly like the trivia with the players . . . yea I know.

 

So just read the thread you guys actually do a horrible job of actually telling people whats going on in the game. Just a bunch of babies complaining about everything. Funny thing is all I get from this is we were down and playing like shit......Crabbe and Barton helped us comeback and that's it......did we lose or win. You guys suck.

 

By the way, it's raining here in Vegas.

 

Ooh, that would be SWEET. But they'd have to have not been paying attention.

 

It seems to me he does that all the time. I noticed him doing it even at the fanfest. What's with that? That's some stupid shit.
