Ah, here we go!

 

[HailBlazers]

Ah, here we go!

Yesiir!

 

[THE HCP]

A much needed break in the middle of all the craziness. Time to get back at it. Roll Tank Roll…..

 

[Foxx]

We’re overdue for a win where we appear to be good. I think tonight’s the night. Shaedon - look good again - GO!

“Win where we appear to be good” Curious what this means?

Previously I was wondering what they would do with fan 7778 and onward. Would kind of suck to just miss getting a glass, while you see Bob get one right in front of you.

But now I'm starting to wonder what they will do with the extra glasses?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Hmmmm.... not sure how I'll watch this one as league pass is blacked out here in Austin (Spurs region)

If it was in San Antonio I might just drive down to watch the game. Guess I can try to subscribe to the Spurs version of Blazervision. Or being 9pm here on a Friday I could go to a bar... had a 2 year old get me up at 5am so not sure I will make it.

Fan 7778 and onward will have to just keep tanking.

You’re gonna miss the game of the year. Wemby and SS both going off for a 100.

We'll see, maybe I can do a trial of the Spurs version of Blazervision. I think I did that in a prior year.

 

[THE HCP]

Jabari Walker is your starting center tonight Lady and Gentlemen.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Jabari Walker is your starting center tonight Lady and Gentlemen.

I'd have preferred to cut Jabari Walker in training camp. I valued an open roster spot or adding an undrafted rookie more than him.

Yet even I consider him an upgrade tonight over DeAndre Ayton starting.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Jabari Walker is your starting center tonight Lady and Gentlemen.

Does this mean Clingan is not playing?

 

[blazerfan11]

Wemby doing blocking drills or something against the basketball stanchion. He did about 10 reps.

 

[blazerfan11]

Thybulle was out on the floor.
Is he playing?

 

[MickZagger]

The tank is friggin getting juicy AF!

This isn't football

 

[MickZagger]

Sharpe drops 35 and the Blazers lose by 1 in doubt OT is my wet dream of the night

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Ayton finally not starting and we get a quick 12-5 lead. Not a coincidence.

 

[MickZagger]

Bruh Scoot…

 

[MickZagger]

Sharpe should be getting up 20 shots a night at bare minimum

 

[Chris Craig]

Spurs takeover

 

[MickZagger]

Scoot keeping them honest

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Clingan in!

 

[MickZagger]

Poooof.

The lead evaporated never to be seen again

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers not looking great

Running into the paint and throwing a shin pass to the guy right next to you who is in the same situation as you, is not a good play. Seems to be occuring alot tonight.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Clingan bricks his first shot a wide open 3. Minute later he gets rejected hard by a much smaller defender. Hoping he just needs a few minutes to get back into game flow because that was pretty bad.

He did OK defending CP3 on the perimeter.

 

[Cugel]

This offense...SAS shooting 70% basically at the rim. POR a blistering 35%

 

[Sheldon Shape]

What a horrific start. Does Chauncey prepare them ever?
