We are broadcasting tonights game and Wednesday's game on CSN! Just saw there are only a few fix available for tonight. I have been watching preseason games on NBAtv the past couple nights. The arenas are averaging something like 6,000 fans. We are going to sell this bitch out. Blazer fans are amazing!

I thought I read that they aren't. I know that FOX rocky mountain is, but that is probably only available there. It's not on NBA tv or anything like that, and I haven't looked to see if NBA league pass is broadcasting games due to pre season. I know they haven't in the past

I was able to get it. Do you have NBA league pass?
 
Definitely stoked to watch the game tonight. Thanks to the lockout, this seems more like our regular season home opener, not a meaningless preseason game with a bunch of scrubs fighting for the 14th and 15th roster spot sucking up all the PT.

I actually think that Utah's youth is pretty good: Favors, Kanter...good young big men with a lot of potential, Alec Burks is intriguing, Heyward is better than Babbit is (and probably ever will be)....CJ Miles is only 24? I would say he is equal to Batum to date....

Future looks good in UTA, much better than it does in POR...Who are our young building pieces? Chris Johnson? Elliot Williams? Nolan Smith? lol....

Seriously, Kevin O'Conner would have been a good GM for POR to pickup...rebuilding without completely tearing it all down....They may end up with a better record than POR this year....
 
Maybe Favors developes, or maybe he's a slightly worse Zbo. Kanter has Nicohlas Tskistvili bust potential. I mean yes they could be solid building blocks but both are massively unknowns. Neither one has top flight allstar potential. I wouldn't consider that roster anything close to a model of rebuilding.
 
Guys took the court to warm up about 20 minutes ago. Luke, EWill, Armon, Johnson, Nolan. Feels good just to hear that basketball bouncing' on the hardwood FAMS!

No Sloan, No hope. I would be worried if Sloan was still the coach. Now that he's gone; I doubt Utah makes any noise in the regular season.

I definitely think Utah could make some noise, but I think they'll be inconsistent, and they won't maximize the abilities of the young guys like Sloan would have. I still think they could be solid. Like Portland, I think there's a bit of variability in how good they could be.

LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Greg Oden, Wesley Matthews, Raymond Felton (to a degree) and of course, as you mentioned, Nolan, Chris, and Elliott.
 
LA out there working up a sweat! Looks good. Wes and Wallace out there right now, while Luke is filling up the Gatorade cups!

With that much youth, you need a coach to keep you focused. They don't have a coach with that capability; which is why I don't care how much talent they have. They will take the Clipper's place last season in conference record, IMO.
 
Is there going to be an HD feed on Justin.tv again this year?
 
Paul Allen met with media. "I have no plans on selling the team. "
 
None of the links are available yet. Once the game starts, and if someone finds something, please pm me.

Thanks.
 
Nope. I saw him on KOIN working out before the game, though.
 
no LaMarcus, you'd know that if you read this thread! PM if that first link doesn't work and another one is found. thank you!

Which is pretty much what I said, except for the Clips part. Although, my one question regarding the Clips: why does everything think they're going to be better? Yeah, I love me some Chris Paul. But they gave up a lot to get him. Eric Gordon is a STUD. Kaman is solid when healthy. I know Griffin is the man, and will continue to improve. Paul has battled injuries. I think the Clips will be good, and on some nights look like stars, but overall, I'm not really sure what to think of then. I'm thinking NOH 3-4 years ago when they were on their way up.

umm I knew he had said he wasn't playing but then HCP said he was out there. Wouldnt be the first time a player played when he wasn't expected to.

Ahh okay, I get you. That is a good point. :cheers: go blazers!
 
Crazy. It's been almost 8 months since the Blazers last played a game.
