Game Thread 2022 SUMMER LEAGUE - GAME 1 - BLAZERS @ PISTONS - THURSDAY - JULY 7, 2022 - 9PM (PDT) ESPN (1 Viewer)

[TBpup]

The game has been moved to 9:00 p.m. because of a social influencer game prior. So the Blazers have been moved for a bunch of Tik Tok people you've probably never heard of.

Why the hell is our game at 9pm....

no joke... but they have a pickup game for social media influencers are prime time. then they schedule Paolo v Jabari right after, and we get the late late night slot. I'm good with 9 PM after a decade of living on the eastern time zone, but it sucks for Detroit fans. Lots of rookies of interest and a midnight tipoff.

Just for those who are not up to speed.

 

[THE HCP]

Cade and Bey won't play, they should be removed from the starting lineup.

So frustrating that our threads have come to this. I offered…..

 

[THE HCP]

I'm really excited to watch these games. Obviously because of being a big Blazer fan, but also because there isn't much else on TV right now in the sporting world for me. I'm not an MLB fan.

But you ARE a dork and there is a Star Trek marathon over on Sci-Fi at the same time. Just trying to help.

Sucks for me living in Florida with work tomorrow a.m.

Luckily, tomorrow is my last day in my current position, so just need to move offices and set myself up tomorrow anyways.

BAM!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So this is working out pretty good. I'm at the MGM Grand and it's like less than a half mile from the Thomas Mack center.

 

[illmatic99]

i'm guessing Joe/Chauncey and maybe some of our signees will head down to Vegas today, but will Dame be in audience? Still getting some interesting vibes from him after the whole follow/unfollow stuff with Shaedon.

He's got a bunch going on with "Formula Zero" right now.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn why Dame unfollow Sharpe? What’s the point of doing that

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'd take a game at 9pm.... it's 6am for me

 

[Chris Craig]

Is Duren not playing for the Pistons?

Yes, fixed

 

[Chris Craig]

Cade and Bey won't play, they should be removed from the starting lineup.

Fixed

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn why Dame unfollow Sharpe? What’s the point of doing that

Yeah, that's strange.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Really interested in the Duren/Watford matchup. Classic athleticism v BBIQ contrast.

Duren has great bball iq

Oh shit what happen with Dame and the rookie?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Don't you know Dame asked for a trade?

He's headed on a plane apparently. To vegas? Who knows...

 

[illmatic99]

He's headed on a plane apparently. To vegas? Who knows...

he posted that a few hours ago. did find a PJ headed to vegas in a few minutes...

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/EJA625/history/20220707/2130Z/KPDX/KLAS

this is prolly the team personnel headed over.

i dunno, it's minor, but it would be nice if Dame was there in attendance. He knows how it felt when Aldridge didn't take him under his wing, but he still had Wes/Nico in attendance during his summer league debut.

Preseason game, Midseason form. Nice thread!

 

[blazerfan11]

Where are you?

 

[illmatic99]

im as excited for this game as i would be a game 1 in the playoffs.

need to calm down, cuz the only place from here is down. hard to keep expectations low after the teasers the team has put out on Shaedon.
