Tonight I mostly just want to see substantial improvement from their play in pre-season. Billups claims the time since last game was like a second training camp. We will see.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLAZERSSSSS

 

[Hoopguru]

Chauncey was setting this game up last week.

 

[TBpup]

First opponent shot of the season is a WIIIIIDE OPEN '3'.

Our first shot....a fadeaway sideways 18'er.

Our 2nd shot.....Nurk missing his typical flip gimme.

Sigh....hope this changes in a hurry.

 

[Predator]

Nurk blowing that layup is a 4 point swing.

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame time

 

[julius]

This doesn't look significantly better than the pre-season.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk is so trash lol

 

[blazerkor]

We've got to figure out how to defend the three ball, for fucks sake!

 

[blazerkor]

Ant doing work.

 

[Predator]

Simons going to the rim strong.

 

[blazerkor]

@THE HCP is always so quiet during the games. I bet the guy doesn't even watch them. SMH!!!

 

[Hoopguru]

This doesn't look significantly better than the pre-season.

Yeah it does

Nurk blowing that layup is a 4 point swing.

I wonder why he hates dunking

 

[Hoopguru]

Injuries

 

[Driew]

I wonder why he hates dunking

Because he broke his leg and is trying to limit the amount of landing on the legs he has to do.

 

[blazerkor]

I wonder why he hates dunking

He couldn't have dunked that but he could have realized that like he always is, he was the biggest guy in the paint so he should have slowed it down and finished strong instead of weak. I would like a dunk too but I'd settle for a strong layup too. Just has to get his fucking feet under him.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I wonder why he hates dunking

he cant do it, otherwise he would do it regularly

hes huge and heavy, its difficult to run from one end to another, jump to grab rebounds, defend, attack, its exhausting

 

[Driew]

Weird that Keegan is out with "covid" but he's still on the bench lol

 

[blazerkor]

Because he broke his leg and is trying to limit the amount of landing on the legs he has to do.

He's more apt to break that leg going as fast as he is than just getting up an inch higher with his feet under him and dunking it.

 

[julius]

Yeah it does

it didn't at the start, it does now.

 

[B-Roy]

Forced more turnovers in 6 mins than we did all preseason.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We're clearly a contender
