Game Thread GAME# 1: KINGS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 20, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, ROOT SPORTS

Unfortunately it looks a lot like pre season team.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

The Kings are no joke this year.
Unfortunately the Blazers are.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What a miserable quarter

Here's a sentence you can save and reuse!

 

[OneSport3]

Nance is so good. He was able to keep Fox in front of him. Always makes the right rotations.

 

[James lamphear]

They another 38 points quarter against us.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

East coast time means I get to go to bed now. I feel fortunate.

We only loat that quarter by 2 instead of by 12

 

[VenomXL]

Like all the nights in preseason, you mean? Chauncey must be pretty familiar with those nights.

More like every desperation shot they throw up is going in.

 

[LuckyShot]

Doesn't matter who the coach is or who our players are. We will always let one trick ponies perform their one trick on us over and over.

 

[3putt]

What’s with the carryover from last year blazers cannot guard the three point shot. I was really hoping that the new coaches would address that. Maybe we’ll give them tIme to learn the new offense before fixing that.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers can’t get 3 stops in a row lol

Sure has seemed that way for sure.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow.

I wasn’t expecting a great team, but this is kinda sad.

 

[HailBlazers]

Nice ball movement.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Don’t need 3 in a row. They need 6 out of 10 a couple times and this is a game.
They need to score though and that has been questionable?

 

[illmatic99]

They're making some garbage right now

 

[PessimisticMillenial]

It’s really not over yet.

We need one run and the crowd will do their trademark 6 min of energy per game, and SAC will feel the pressure.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It's weird how the sentiment has flipped from last year to this. Seems like those who were most critical last year are this year seeing the good parts and being the most patient.

 

[DDolla]

Like the NBA TV analyst said, the Blazers issue is not the coach. It’s the players they have

Never was Stotts. He got thrown under the bus. I still think Billups might be an upgrade though.

 

[VenomXL]

Second unit is balling. That makes me happy.

 

[HailBlazers]

Offense is flowing better

 

[DDolla]

Simons and Zeller playing well

 

[OneSport3]

Ant looks like a totally different player! Not settling for just the 3 and making plays.

Thanks Chauncey.

 

[PessimisticMillenial]

Great D CJ

 

[3putt]

Do you think Nurk would be better off if he were to put the weight back on and play bruiser under the rim rather than trying to be a nimble big man?

 

[PDXFonz]

This is where in past seasons you might not be sweating. Down 10 with 7 minutes left and Damian Lillard aka one of if not the most clutch player in NBA history.

Lord have mercy

I hope we still got that in us

 

[LuckyShot]

Stormin' Norman.

 

[VenomXL]

Barnes is apparently the new MJ.
