BLAZERS @ SUNS - GAME THREAD - 10/30/13 SEASON OPENER - 7 PM - KGW

[BrianFromWA]

Tokito tweeted that the reason Lillard was so open is that they started running him off double high screens with LMA and then Lopez...can anyone comment?

Alright fuckers - first game of the season and I've deleted my ignore list.

Skimmed through some of the game-action portion of this thread and I see (unsurprisingly) that nothing has changed with you bipolar bunch. So far, semi-impressed with Robinson (going out on a limb and saying that he'll be our starting PF by the TD of 14/15 season at the latest). Everyone else is playing below expectations. It's hard to fathom, but LMA is disappointing. Can't judge improvement off the first half of the first game of the season, but I don't see how our defense has improved at all. Our offense looks equally bad, but I'm not too worried about that rounding into shape.

To be honest I wasn't paying attention

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

And two are trolling

That's what trolls do. I dunno that I wouldn't take them as being serious.

Wes/Nic/Wright with 8 assists.

Lillard/Mo with 1.

Rather than say our PGs suck, I like that our wings are looking for the open man.

No Claver? No Will? Stotts is stingy with the rotation.

What does a china man know about basketball?

 

[KingSpeed]

5 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists

Our bench averaged 12-15 ppg last year. This is a step BACK. Lakers have a real bench. Our bench is a joke.

Well Lillard is 1 of only 2 guys making shots

Easier to get an assist passing to Lillard than the other way around

Phoenix is playing small. Hard to work in claver. We got on the ropes and the last thing we need is a turn over machine in barton

Yes that is true

They would need to come in because.......

He's been in panic mode since about 2 minutes in.

Your posting is the joke, sir.

 

[Eastoff]

I like that Brian grant commercial.

Plumlee played well in summer league and in preseason. Maybe he is decent?

Maybe...

 

[Natebishop3]

Do you guys realize that this is the first time all five starters have been together in a game? Just think about that.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Suns' new unis are fugly. It looks like we're playing Oklahoma State.

 

[BrianFromWA]

There's "decent" (which he could very well be), and there's "Bill Russell 1963". He's not the latter, though you wouldn't know it right now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dragic is one of those guys that would be an All-Star if he played against us every night. I hate Phoenix. This team has our number.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Isnt that the asian man calling the kettle yellow?

Ok Barrett

 

[BrianFromWA]

Actually, I'm shorting him. No one's ever averaged 32/20/4 per game.

Cheeyao!!!!!

 

[mgb]

refs against us

 

[Natebishop3]

Ok Barrett

No, you're right, the world is over. Carry on.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nic for three!

 

[santeesioux]

Dem empty seats.
