Notice Blazers vs Kings- 12/11/20 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD.....

[Paine Tablet]

Looked like a 2nd round pick.

Many first rounds picks have looked worse in their first game, so I'm not really buying this as a summation.

Giles = Christian Wood

The right situation and coaching.

I don't know if he can hit the three like that but like I said the kid has been a monster and on scouts radar since he was really really young. His entire career has just been derailed by so many injuries so far.

 

[Scalma]

There's only One Direction for Harry's career to go: UP!

haha I get it

 

[James lamphear]

Giles is battling Kanter for the back up center and Zach when he gets back more likely will play the backup PF. I love to Giles and Zach playing beside each other.

Any comparisons of RoCo and Jones Jr to Aminu and Harkless can be put to rest. They are conservatively 10x better than that old combo.

That take is about 9x times premature after one preseason game vs the Kings.

Roco's three is absolutely wet. DJ needs some work, but he's so active off the ball, unlike Mo. But their arms are massive taking up the whole key while we were in a zone.

But but but JJR got the MLE?!?

Kanter will have his uses against size but Giles is a better fit against more teams, especially second units. Kanter is more Nurk insurance imo.

know what would be a fun duo? Harry and Zach.

This is the disgraced (former) long term announcer for the Kings, fwiw.

So much to like about this roster.
On so many levels.

Blazers can beat any team.

This is going to be a fun season!

I think RoCo is easily better than either Aminu or Harkless. There's is almost no question there.

 

[julius]

Simons had a hamstring issue, that's why he didn't play in the 2nd half.

"hamstring" is clearly code for "we're giving up on him". Duh.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

I know it is preseason - but the fact Simons can't even out play Blevins or Elleby is just sad.

My wish: turn some combo of Collins/Hood/Little in to 1 good vet to serve as insurance for Melo(age) and Giles(injury).

 

[riverman]

I'm amazed nobody has pointed out that HCP finally started a winning game thread....I believe it's a first for him....the jinx took the night off!

 

[Tince]

Ant out with "hamstring soreness" according to Stotts.

 

[MickZagger]

He’s no ordinary Tom, Dick and Harry

 

[James lamphear]

The negative we had 20 turnovers but the bench score 66 points.

I agree he's better. Not 10 times better.

 

[riverman]

Simons played well tonight...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Passing, shooting, unselfish play - good stuff.

Maybe the best thing was that Lillard didn't have to come in and save us.

 

[Scalma]

Ant out with "hamstring soreness" according to Stotts.

maybe now Neil will sign a point guard. Still got a two way open and frank mason just sitting out there.

 

[riverman]

What's great about tonight is they did this with less than half the practice time of the team they beat....you can see we're not close to clicking yet but the parts are there

 

[BlazerBeav]

Terry says he anticipates Nurk and Hood playing Sunday.

 

[Tince]

Stotts says he anticipates Hood and Hurk will play Sunday.

Where y'all catching the postgame

CJ is our backup PG, whether you like it or not, that's how Olshey sees it.

 

[illmatic99]

ah there ya go

I mean, it's hyperbole obviously. 10x better would make him Paul George.
