Game Thread GAME# 1: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 28, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

[PtldPlatypus]

Yes, along with Perkins and Ish Smith. While Ish may not technically start Holiday is limited to 16mpg so Ish will play the starter minutes. Or Nate Robinson will, who was unemployed a few months ago. So they have Kendrick Perkins, Dante Cunningham and Ish Smith as 60% of their starters? They wouldn't make the 15 man rosters for half the teams in the league.

Then they have Babs and Gee as their main guys off the bench? Ryan Anderson can really shoot but he's basically Matt Bonner; one of the absolute worst defenders in the league. I feel so bad for Anthony Davis. I wonder what Monty is thinking; he somehow scrapped some terrible lineups together for wins last year so maybe he'll eventually get a bit of respect.

Monty is gone.

Ish did go for 17/9 last night on >50% shooting. I wouldn't sleep on him too much.

 

[Draco]

Monty is gone.

Yeah I know; I was wonder what he will be thinking now watching this team struggle as he was criticized so much over the summer even though they somehow won all those games. I'm sure he's rooting for his old players but I'd think he'd take a small piece of satisfaction if its not the easy job many made it out to be. What if the Pelicans really suck this year.

Gotcha.

 

[riverman]

Will the crowd still get Chalupas when Vonleh shoots the 100th pt over Luke Babbits head?

They brought back Chalupas?

 

[Haakzilla]

I was shocked to see the rotting corpse of Kendrick Perkins is still on an NBA roster. Then I see he's starting???? I know Asik is injured, but that's the best they can do? The guy hasn't posted a double digit PER in 6 years. I cannot fathom how he's till in the league. Must be the fake tough guy scowl he learned from KG.

Of course, I check and see he has a PER of 30.9 after last night's game. Woo hoo! Kendrick Perkins for small sample size MVP! Well tonight should be the night he regresses to his normal, awful self.

BNM

 

[PDXFonz]

They brought back Chalupas?

No, and same on riverman for implying they had.

 

[stampedehero]

BLAZERS ! Win by 20

As much as Unibrow may be a difficult matchup for us, I'm wondering who Perkins is going to guard. Can't picture him on any of our bigs. Another reason I think Plumlee may see small minutes in favor of more mobile bigs.

 

[BBert]

Wonder who the nightly scapegoat will be in these threads?

You.

FAMS!!!

Including our own!!!

That what if? well....He demands a trade to play alongside his buddy from the draft and only competition for rookie of the year. We send off Plumlee, Kaman, Harkless and Leonard (if we have to). and cash(draft pick?).
CJ becomes our third star and we are in contention next year.

 

[HailBlazers]

CJ on free-throws "nobody will make me feel worse about my free throw shooting than my family does."

 

[PDXFonz]

As far as I'm concerned we are at a disadvantage with the Pelicans playing back to back.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

WooooHoo! The season is about to begin!

 

[Sinobas]

Why doesn't AD shave his unibrow? Does he consider it his signature look? Has he never had a girlfriend?

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Yeah..I believe that he thinks it is his "thing".

[DaLincolnJones]

I figure that this game is going to go one of two ways. Either we smoke them, or it is going to be like a "Five nights at Freddys" episode.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

What is that River? A cross between Princess and Chewbacha?

 

[BonesJones]

Praying that I'm not in the blackout zone...

 

[julius]

Did I hear that right, there was a proposal to sell the MC, and the potential buyer wanted to tear it down and make "affordable housing"??

That's a horrible spot for that. If they tear it down, they should make it parking.

It's gonna be like Debbie Does Dallas, except it's the sequel...hot and sweaty with intervals of heavy breathing and a money shot orgastic ending

oh man....thats sooooo bad

 

[riverman]

Close but it's Fran, the Russian woman from Dodgeball

So now we know why so few mail order brides were from there...
