Bump

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is this a team we can beat?

 

[Chris Craig]

Is this a team we can beat?

It should be.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

It should be.

If the Suns can lose to the 36ers, we can find a way to lose to Sha-na-na.

 

[andalusian]

Is this a team we can beat?

This team isn't even in the premier league in Israel.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I will definitely not be bothering to use my tickets for this one - glad they were automatically included in my season ticket package. Last night was less than 50% full - gonna be a spare crowd for this one.

 

[Tweak]

Dame said there was one game he wouldn't play in and this is probably it.

it's funny it doesn't even show up on the schedule. I totally forgot about it til I saw this thread:

 

[KSF-ERIC]

NBA app says this game is on League Pass

 

[PDXFonz]

Seasons over if we lose this game

 

[Chris Craig]

NBA app says this game is on League Pass

Is the blackout lifted since it's not on root?

 

[B-Roy]

The regular starters are not playing this game

 

[Shaboid]

So this is basically a summer league game...

 

[illmatic99]

can shaedon please get 30+ mins in this one

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is the game Sharpe should do well in. No excuses

 

[PDXFonz]

You could have been behind Ryan Clamage at Dunkin Donuts and you’d never know it.

If we get out rebounded by this team…

 

[Mediocre Man]

This is the game Sharpe should do well in. No excuses

Sure there are

1. he’s more athletic than talented
2. Brandon Williams plays at the same time.
3. Our offense continues to have a super athlete stand in the corner
4. Injury

 

[PDXFonz]

If we even managed to be down at halftime I would expect some legitimate Harlem Globetrotters stuff.

 

[PDXFonz]

Blazers -29.5 in this game

Yikes…

 

[OneSport3]

Seasons over if we lose this game

At least we could just then blow it up and join the tank race for Wembenyama!

 

[THE HCP]

So this is basically a summer league game...

I thought the last two were as well.

 

[THE HCP]

So after Sharpe plays tonight and has a few good plays against this Junior College team, is he headed back to being a lock for the Hall of Fame? Just asking so later when I’m checking this place out postgame, I am prepared.

 

[Shaboid]

I thought the last two were as well.

Pretty much, but at least the starters played.

 

[THE HCP]

Blazers -29.5 in this game

Yikes…

So as somebody who doesn’t gamble, what does this mean? I would guess that means we are favored to win by 29.5? Wonder what the spread was when the Suns played that Cricket team from Tasmania last weekend?

He better look like a player that belongs in the NBA. So far, mediocre city. Yes, a nice dunk that didn't count, and a block that was special. He finally hit a mid range, and that was nice as well. But it's time to flow, move, and go after the opposing team with all he has. Show us what you can do . We don't need a Practice Jordan.

See and that’s just it. Go back and look, people are throwing expectations at a kid who MIGHT help this team at one point, but Dame will most likely be gone or retired at that point. Posts on here thinking he or Walker would help this team win this season were comical, I’m sorry.

 

[Propagandist]

I guess I’m going to this stupid game…

 

[Propagandist]

Blazers -29.5 in this game

Yikes…

I think I’d take the under even with the starters.

 

[riverman]

Nas needs to show up if he wants to be a rotation player this season...he's not looked good first two games
