Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 29, 2018 - MONDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Those signings were to help the young guns, nothing wrong with those Players. Much better than giving Turner, Crabbe, Meyers and Harkless 224 (!!!) Million

So let me ask you a question, Dame's rookie year should Olshey have signed a good PG to "help" him? Wouldn't after taking Fox at 5 it have been better to just hand him the keys and let him develop?

So that's why they traded George Hill in 42 games for draft rights to who? and signed the upstanding citizen in Zach Randolph.
To help the young players learn the NBA.

You forgot the green font.

@hoopsjock
Eric, you forgot Lawson, Afflalo, Barnes, McLemore.
Really it's so easy to find shitty signings the kings have made.

 

[hoopsjock]

I don't know if it would work or not, but Zach is a Center und he Must play at Center, no more Power forward

I mean, you don't really have any proof that he can't play PF. I just want him on the court and I don't think it matters what position that he's playing.

 

[Strenuus]

I dont remember seeing it and I agree more good than bad especially so far this year. I dont really feel like Ive said anything bad about him but how other people perceive what I say who knows. Its not even that I think people shouldnt get excited, Im just saying it cracks me up how excited a lot of fans are over Zach at this point. I mean were fans we get excited and pissed off on a nightly basis, but for whatever reason the Zach stuff is just very entertaining to me.

You're fine.

And expect more. For some reason, when prospects actually do well on our team, we get really excited. Some turns into erections, getting-on-knees, and general wanting to marry the player. But, I mean, you know..

The good signings, now THOSE are a needle in a haystack.

I just named a few off the top of my head. I didn't think someone saying Divac makes better signings than Olshey warranted any research to know how stupid of a statement that is.

Wtf, the Kings drafted Mclemore, they did not get him in free agency, lawson came for the Minimum and not for 17 Million as olshey probably would have done. Afflalo was only 1 year so nothing wrong with that, barnes also only 6 Million in 1 year and the other years were Minimum, that's nothing compared to those ridiculous contracts olshey handed out

You do realize Mclemore played in Memphis for the 16-17 season right?
So yes, the Kings traded for this fool after letting him go for nothing.
Lawson & Barnes were outstanding citizens to help that young team learn.
Afflalo was gone after a year.

Stop trying to change the narrative. Kings are ass from top down. They can't draft, sign worthy free agents, or make good trades.
NO is 100% superior than Vlade.

And whats wrong with signing Mclemore for 1 Year? It's not a 4 year Max, it's only 1 year for 5 Million wich is almost nothing under the Salary Cap. Stop comparing those signings to olsheys ridiculous signings from 2016!

You're a funny dude.
Ben takes away minutes from Jackson, just like Bjelica takes away from Giles/Skai.

As a rebuilding team, taking away minutes from your 1st rounders who you drafted to be the future of your team.... is just as ridiculous as you're making NO's signings out to be.
But it doesn't fit the narrative you attempt to create with every post so...

Oh yes, 4.5 minutes per Game for Mclemore is so Bad for Jackson and the other 1st rounders

 

[SIeepwalker]

I’ll get carried away over The Bad Motherfucker! Because he’s only 20 and white! Sky’s the limit for this one.

I know right ! If he ever turns black then holy watch out !

The league pass replay of this game is messed up for me. It skips from 5:28 left in the second quarter to 8:27 left in the third quarter. This happens on both the home, and the away broadcast. Anyone else have this problem? Anything awesome happen during this period that I'm missing out on?

I had the same Problem on my lp

 

[BonesJones]

You can't See the difference, that's your Problem.

You're attitude is crap lately.

 

[BonesJones]

I don't know if it would work or not, but Zach is a Center und he Must play at Center, no more Power forward

And why can't He? He's a good shooter for the PF spot, is comfortable playing the perimeter on offense and has good footspeed on defense. Why can't he play next to Nurk?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

They go 10 deep.

Looking back through the game thread, I'm absolutely shocked that no innuendo posts followed this.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sorry @TorturedBlazerFan, I stalled the Zach Bandwagon Train as long as I could knowing you were running late. However, you took too long to get there and we had to leave without you. Maybe you can try catching it at another stop but as of right now you missed out.

Its cheaper to buy the tickets later. I have an emotional budget to deal with lol.

 

[hoopsjock]

I beg to differ, people already refer to you as The Zach Hater. That's gonna stick to you for awhile (expensive ticket). There are no cheap tickets left.

 

[Labinot41]

And why can't He? He's a good shooter for the PF spot, is comfortable playing the perimeter on offense and has good footspeed on defense. Why can't he play next to Nurk?

I higly doubt that Collins will be so hot from downtown over the entire season, He's not going to keep shooting 56% on threes, and his natural position is close to the Basket, that's a reason why he's so good right now. Zach is a Center in todays NBA, every expert says that. Sure the Blazers can try it with Nurkic and Collins together, but if it doesn't work out, Zach has to be the Starter at Center, his ceiling is higher than Nurkic's

 

[HailBlazers]

Defense wins Championships. Zach's bringing the Block Party's. His shots coming around. And his footwork in the post is solid. Haters gonna Hate but bottom line, Neil nailed the pick.

no no no, its pay me now or pay me later! lol

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why would you not record it and then watch when you got home?

I don't have a recorder. I watch a free stream. I know some of them have the capability of being replayed later, but I'm not sure which ones.

I know a spanish forum were they upload the replay of every game in the league the day after if you're interested... (/w english commentary)

I agree with most of this, but I do think Nurk can continue to start and Collins can continue to come off the bench and still get 30+ minutes at both positions. I do think Zach matches up better with Capela though. (i.e running the court)

Nurk is still inconsistent and part of that is staying on the floor long enough to get in a rhythm. The inconsistent fouls calls from the refs (on screens) does not help. Who knows when they decide to call one. They could do so on almost every possession...on both teams. I don't like when they try to force feed Nurk though on offense. Nor when Nurk tries the tough passes. He just needs to focus on what he does best to help the team...and not commit the fouls.

Zach lacks a good nickname, so as an ode to Pryz, I suggest Vanilla Sky!

I got to the end of the game, and found that the missing minutes were tacked onto the end.
