Game Thread GAME# 1: BLAZERS @ SUNS - OCTOBER 18, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

[BrianFromWA]

We'd seem to always win our home opener no matter how bad we were.

This. Hawks in 2005, the 2nd-worst team we've ever had
Clips in 2004, 4-th worst team we've ever had.
2006, 32-50, still beat MIN Opening Night.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hmm. Booker jumped into Nurk. I'd probably prefer a no-call there, but I bet the only other team we see get called for that the rest of the year is us.

Didn't they make that illegal yhis year, to jump into a player to create a foul?

 

[LuckyShot]

Only two highlights on ESPN's website from this game so far are Phoenix highlights. No respect.

Except opening up a new building against an expansion team from Vancouver. The worst.

 

[BrianFromWA]

we are gonna need a center ...if the big guy is drawing Fs on this trash, whats gonna happen when we play names?

Ed. Meyers. Zach.

 

[Chris Craig]

Layman and Leonard only Blazers with a DNP-CD so far.

We will see them second half

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk playing without his mask. Finally.

Yeah he said fuck it

[The Professional Fan]

Combat the tide of the NBA. That's what we need to do. Get 90's on their ass I swear it's our only hope

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL. Lip service at best. They do shit like this every year where they make something a "point of emphasis". 5 games into the year, the same star players most guilty of whatever it was are the same players getting away with it daily. It's just an excuse to call it when they feel like it.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

We will see them second half

Yeah, with this lead, both should get some burn

 

[KingSpeed]

Don't we have a home opener winning streak.

 

[ripcityboy]

Honestly, if Meyers can't even approximate a center for a few minutes at this point in this career.... he will never have any value.

 

[AFully22]

Just popping in to say the defense in that half was better then any half of all last year. I bid thee farewell.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Hey we are in PHX already, let's just swap Leonard for Chandler

well...if they are determined to be lottery bound...hahahah

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Chuck E Cheese just died of an opioid overdose.

RIP

 

[rotary111]

Didn't someone say Bledsoe could be available???

That dude coming off our bench would be ridiculous.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I don't know if you still need it or not but here.

It's phoenix tv, but it goes to the Portland stream once the game is Live.

Thanks, but it's not working because of my ad-blocker, which I disabled, but it still doesn't work because something is blocking Java. Don't wanna fuck with it right now. I'll stick to the Suns stream.

Thanks though.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jazz beat Nuggets

 

[H.C.]

I need a gif/video of that Swanigan pick and roll defense when he stole the ball.
And they said he couldn't play defense.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Blazers are out shooting around, with nary a sun in sight. Earl must be tearing a strip off of someone...

 

[Scalma]

Ed. Meyers. Zach.

Which one is a center

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Okay..24 bench points, I guessed 40, so on track..

 

[ripcityboy]

Except opening up a new building against an expansion team from Vancouver. The worst.

That was the worst expansion team placement in league history.... any league, any where.

 

[KingSpeed]

You know how you know a great team is a great team? Because they destroy the bad teams.

 

[LuckyShot]

Which one is a center

Depending on the opposing team, any of them. Meyers can play center against bigger centers if that's what you're meaning.

 

[Darkwebs]

Don't we have a home opener winning streak.

We have a 16-game home-opener winning streak.

 

[BrianFromWA]

all of them have played it. What, you think they'll be bullied by the likes of Zaza Pachulia, Andrew Bogut, Tristan Thompson, Robin Lopez, Gortat, etc for 6-12 minutes a game?

 

[riverman]

Chuck E Cheese just died of an opioid overdose.

RIP

sometimes cheese just needs to get chucked

 

[KingSpeed]

We have a 16-game home-opener winning streak.

That's incredible. I may go to this year's.
