[Chris Craig]

Anyone going?

 

[tlongII]

Who?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Don't like these international games mixed with the rest of the preseason.

They should do all the international games before the 1st preseason games. That would make more sense to ramp up towards the real season too.

I like them, they're the only games we don't try to tank.

ULM is on top of the German Basketball Bundesliga after playing 3 games going 3-0. However they haven’t played any of the powerhouses such as Munich or Alba Berlin.

They are coming off of a 33 point loss yesterday to Turkish Besiktas in European play.

Definitely not one of the worst teams in Germany or European basketball, but far from the best basketball team in Europe.

You don’t want to be the NBA team that loses to the overseas team.

Surely the fate of the entire season rests on the outcome of this game.

 

[PDXFonz]

We’d better make Jägerschnitzel out of them.

 

[riverman]

Duop Death is still on the roster! They don't stand a chance!

 

[beast blazer]

Is Deni not going to be a starter? We just traded 2 picks for him (3 if you count Brogdon)...

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Is Deni not going to be a starter? We just traded 2 picks for him (3 if you count Brogdon)...

Well the problem is what talented starting player do we sit? Kris Murray has a laser accurate 26% from 3 and is a year older than Deni.

Maybe Deni just needs to wait his turn and come off the bench behind that vet.

The one time when auto correct is amazing

 

[Chris Craig]

Yes. Probably. I made this thread before he returned and uses the lineup from the Clippers game. I edited it.

Kris Murray came off the bench against the Kings. He likely will hear too unless Billups decides to rest players which he might.

 

[HailBlazers]

Anyone going?

Want my ticket?

 

[BlazerBeav]

I've been trying to talk myself into going, but I think I've decided that no, even I have some standards.

 

[ant]

Did anyone go to this game? Any highlights?

 

[julius]

I know this game isn't being broadcast (at least on Blazervision/Charge!), but I looked ahead to see if the game vs Utah was listed on my schedule...and I don't see it.

Hopefully that's just a stupid error, and not a precursor of things to come.

 

[julius]

the game is tonight, so unless someone has invented time travel no one here has gone to the game yet.

 

[ant]

Haha, oops! It seemed unusually quiet, not a single rant about how so and so is a bust.

Thanks!

The preseason game vs Utah on Friday is on TV and BlazerVision.

so the Charge! channel?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

so the Charge! channel?

https://www.nba.com/blazers/schedule

TV: BlazerVision, KATU 2.2

 

[Wizard Mentor]

so the Charge! channel?

yes (it doesn't say "charge", it just says 2.2, which is charge)

 

[julius]

yes (it doesn't say "charge", it just says 2.2, which is charge)

On youtubeTV it's still listed as charge!

 

[Chris Craig]

On youtubeTV it's still listed as charge!

It's only listed as 2.2 on antenna. Usually cable/online streamers will list it as Charge. Makes it look like they carry more channels.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

On youtubeTV it's still listed as charge!

see my post here about Charge! and YouTubeTV.

I fucking love it. The games that aren’t being broadcasted people can see…..and the ONLY preseason game we ARE broadcasting, people can’t see it on the schedule.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Appears tickets start at $2 if anyone thinking of going;

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow, I’m seeing the +/- at 36.5

Anyone think the Blazers actually win by 37 or
more? I do not…
