I'm from Italy bro, i said this several times.

My summer was good, thanks for asking!

What City? Italy is awesome, Florence is my favorite.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I really hope he proves me wrong because, like i said, i was so excited to see him after Olshey's comments.

but at this point he doesn't seems enough polished on offense and and is a total nightmare defensively.

Does he have an incredible talent for scoring? yes, but it's not enough, AT THIS POINT (he still so young)

I guess Im of the opinion that if they really believe in him they gotta just make him play and learn thats the only way he’s gonna figure it out, thats the only way the game will slow down for him.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Honestly i think we should consider to bring in a veteran PG and give Anfernee another year to bulk up and learn how to play defense.

If we're serious about winning a championship we can't give meaningful minutes to Simons, he's just not ready unfortunately.

I’m with you on that. I think he’ll actually be better as a pure off guard player. PG is not his game right now

 

[illmatic99]

Really not liking Whiteside. He seems so lethargic and lazy

 

[Dougnsalem]

Well Hipster is a religion that seems a bit cultish. Don't ya think?

Then let's go to the OT area, and discuss the hipster cult that you fucking worship. What'd ya think about that?

Really not liking Whiteside. He seems so lethargic and lazy

He's got sneaky hands though on defense. You'd think up high is where he'll block it but he's been smacking the ball down low in this game at least. I didn't expect that from him.

 

[BonesJones]

These refs are pathetic right now.

 

[BonesJones]

Same ankle?

 

[BonesJones]

Skal sucks

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Not gonna get to watch the 2nd half. Kids are screwing up my schedule lol.

 

[Portland2014]

What City? Italy is awesome, Florence is my favorite.

yeah Florence is great.

i live in a small village not that far from Milan.

 

[illmatic99]

great defense by conley there

 

[Portland2014]

let's hope it's nothing serious for Whiteside, i really want him for opening night.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck man Whiteside looks like he’s going to be injured a lot this year. I hope Skal is as good as I think he is. He might be playing a lot this year..

 

[HailBlazers]

yeah Florence is great.

i live in a small village not that far from Milan.

Cool.

What time is it there?

 

[Portland2014]

Cool.

What time is it there?

4.30 AM

it's a grind to follow the Blazers from here lol

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

4.30 AM

it's a grind to follow the Blazers from here lol

I admire your fanhood! 4:30 is when my oldest gets up.

 

[blazerfan11]

Whiteside got injured twice in one game? I missed the ankle thing.

 

[Portland2014]

If not Whiteside let's at least hope Pau will be available for opening night

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense has been much better this quarter, especially considering how many ticky tack fouls have been called on us.

 

[HailBlazers]

4.30 AM

it's a grind to follow the Blazers from here lol

Explains why you're so hard on them lol

 

[James lamphear]

What wrong with Whiteside?

 

[B-Roy]

What wrong with Whiteside?

Rolled his ankle.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

What wrong with Whiteside?

He’s a Center for the Blazers... sigh...

 

[B-Roy]

Skal looks miscast as a center. He doesn't know what the do defending the pick and roll action and his rim protection is nonexistent.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Finally got the stream going. I’m sure it’s been said. But lordy I love our broadcast crew vs this. All of it.

 

[BonesJones]

Are we sure Hezonja is a better shooter than Turner?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Are we sure Hezonja is a better shooter than Turner?

No. But he has better form. Neither here nor there

 

[blazerfan11]

Are we sure Hezonja is a better shooter than Turner?

No, Hezonja has alternated between average shooting and crappy shooting in his career. He can pass, dribble and dunk well.
Bazemore is another player who has shot Evan-Turner-bad for a season.
I think we need to get Simons the ball a lot more on offense.

 

[James lamphear]

94 points after 3 quarters that pretty good.
