Robert Covington might be the most underrated player in the league. Dudes a baller on both ends of the court.

Philly really is fairly loaded with talent, key is whether key guys can stay healthy and gel together

 

[jlprk]

LOL, right. They had an even easier preseason schedule than the Blazers. They played Sidney, Maccabi, PHO, LAL and PHO. Not exactly a lot of defensive juggernauts.

Between my team and my former team, I had a boring preseason.

 

[BonesJones]

New Orleans has the worst 4-15 guys in the league. I guess their 4th guy would be Tony Allen??? Yikes. But who's their 5th, 6th, 7th best players??? Moore? Cunningham? Clark? Crawford? None of those guys would see minutes on our team (if we had Crabbe still, I guess one of them could plug that 9th-man hole instead of Connaughton).

And they're supposed to be a playoff team? Yikes. Their frontcourt can't carry that team. No chance.

 

[Boob-No-More]

So you're saying that, unlike us, they didn't lose to Phoenix?

We only lost to PHO because we didn't actually try to win. We played our third stringers and guys that didn't even make our roster the entire 4th quarter. They played their starters.

If you want to base your lofty opinion of UTA's offense, be my guest. I prefer to wait and see how they do against real competition.

11-1? Here's hoping the Blazers season gets off to a "boring" start!

Who are you quoting?
Jlprk is dead to me.

 

[BigGameDamian]

No need to go for 3 here.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well there a young team.

And we almost won anyway

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Utah made it to 21 after one... that’s good right?

 

[PDXFonz]

FYI - NBA league pass is free through OCT 24th.

 

[KingSpeed]

So they went 5-0

Speaking of 5-0, just got from Yankee Stadium. Go Yankees!!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

I wonder if Celtics will make playoffs. No Thomas, Hayward, Bradley, or Crowder. Kyrie has never shown he can win as the Man. I don't think Celtics are a lock.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pacers 8 players in double figures. Oladipo and Sabonis look good now that they're not playing with ball hog.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Kyrie went into chuck mode tonight, Brad Stevens needs to put his foot down and tell him to run HIS offense.

I Thomas >>> Kyrie

 

[Destroyer of Worlds]

Jeremy Lin Down & out

 

[andalusian]

Crabbe who?

 

[Chris Craig]

Pat is on tonight

 

[tester551]

Jeremy Lin Down & out

I'm surprised that we've had so many injuries on opening night. I wonder if some of that has to do with a shortened pre-season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

UTAH JAZZ, MOTHERFUCKERS!

They are going to just throttle teams. When Gobert sits, they have Udoh, who may be just as good a shotblocker.

And it looks like they managed to eke some points out, huh BNM?

Against one of the worst defensive teams on the league. Not swayed.

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The nuggets really fucked themselves by cutting Nelson. He's old but he was at least a true PG...

 

[theprunetang]

Anybody catch The Dillon Brooks show in Memphis?

 

[Sarni]

Their roster has no balance and is vastly overrated.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

No but I see that Boogie and Brow outscored the rest of their own team 61-30

So they scored 106 in a bottom 5 defense, and beat a very overrated Denver team that overachieved last year... Okay.

I hope something like this doesn't happen
