Blazers vs Maccabi Haifa, 10/17/14 7pm - Game Thread

Kaman with a clutch bucket off the drive. Impressive move

 

[MickZagger]

Kaman just knows how to play. Always liked that guy! Great pickup

 

[Boise Blazer]

I seriously am beginning to wonder if Kaman could get consideration for 6th man of the year if he plays like this off the bench.

We'll see when the season starts. Can't take anything huge from this game, even though I want to.

 

[riverman]

I wouldn't mind this group as a second unit.

I think we're going to be a nightmare for a lot of teams to matchup with, deepest Blazer bench in a long, long time. Lot of fresh legs to put on the court. Odd TRob hasn't seen any burn

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ok that was a little homer and probably a bit much but I like what I am seeing

 

[noknobs]

27 assists on 32 made field goals through 3 quarters. Not bad for a meaningless lopsided preseason game.

 

[riverman]

Kaman is going to be good for LA too

I think T-Rob is an essential part... he's the 2nd unit Wesley Matthews in terms of heart... I think those are imperative for each unit. (And no, not Matthews as a whole, just with the heart and hustle)

 

[Darkwebs]

Barton made that look easy

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I feel bad for Maccabi.

They come to the states and get demolished everywhere they go.

 

[Darkwebs]

Did Blake think he was lobbing it to Barton? CJ doesn't have hops that high

 

[Boise Blazer]

I feel bad for Maccabi.

They come to the states and get demolished everywhere they go.

Maybe it's the green uniforms but I am getting a washington generals vibe.

 

[Boise Blazer]

If Stotts can learn how to find the hot bench guys and rotate through them on a game to game basis our bench could be a huge force.

 

[noknobs]

Meyers Leonard +16 in 6 minutes..

 

[Strenuus]

lol... how many times they gonna foul our guys taking a 3? lol.

 

[riverman]

Ok that was a little homer and probably a bit much but I like what I am seeing

60 wins, Western Confernce Champs!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

6/4/2 in 7 min for Leo.

 

[riverman]

TRob dunks and says, take some of that!

 

[Darkwebs]

Stop lobbing it like we're playing on the moon!

 

[riverman]

Victor Claver! Long time no see!

 

[Strenuus]

Dionte Garret, 6th man of the year? He made a 3.

 

[riverman]

Nice dish to Claver!

 

[riverman]

Dionte Garret, 6th man of the year? He made a 3.

In Shanghai maybe

 

[Darkwebs]

HOOOLLY COW! WHAT A BLOCK BY TROB!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Damn T-Rob. That was just plain mean.

 

[riverman]

Everybody looked good even against less than impressive competition

Exactly my thought, lesser competition or not I am very pleased to see everyone playing well. It's great for the bench to get that confidence going into the season.

Blazers are such gracious hosts. Let's see Macabbi EVER comes to visit again!

Tonight was about the starters. Where it has appeared the first few games were about the bench and getting them in rhythm and on track. With Dame coming back you can see the focus was on them this evening. I'd like to see how the coaching staff will work the two together in the next couple of games.
