Live posting tonight FAMS! First time ever! #ripcity

How much bigger and nicer is Houston's arena video scoreboard than the Moda Centers?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Barkley on Kevin Harlan's prolific announcing schedule: "Dude works hard...like a Jamaican".

I didn't know that was a saying. Can anyone confirm?

It's like a Jerryworld Scoreboard.

 

[Strenuus]

listening to wheels tonight.

 

[BrianFromWA]

are they doing Motiejunas over Asik for good now, or is this just trying things out while Jones is out?

 

[Strenuus]

hcp in the house!

 

[-Ace-]

Lot of empty seats.

 

[illmatic99]

Wow this is starting early? At 8:04

 

[Strenuus]

And 1 for lopez!

 

[Further]

What a steal Lopez wad

 

[Strenuus]

Yikes.

 

[julius]

Not the best of starts

 

[Strenuus]

The alley oop play. I like it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

It's like a Jerryworld Scoreboard.

You're Mexican and you have access to all the broadcast stuff, steal it and ship it back to Portland.

 

[Strenuus]

Nice Lillard!

 

[-Ace-]

Nice camera work for that alley-oop inbounds play, TNT fuckers. Missed it all.

 

[BrianFromWA]

not a whole lot of D yet...

good to see Dame increasing his lefty layup %...

 

[Natebishop3]

That was all ball.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is a true tribute game. If MLK had believed in defense he never would have been shot.

 

[Strenuus]

Let's be aggressive... get em in foul trouble.

 

[Strenuus]

They can't stay this hot...

 

[Further]

Blazers playing like the Washington generals

 

[Natebishop3]

Really tired of these teams coming out shooting lights out against us in the first quarter.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Well, at least HOU missed...but if they keep averaging 2.2 PPP then they'll have 54 in the first.

 

[Strenuus]

8/9 from the field... yeah... that ain't sustaining. We're fine.

 

[LuckyShot]

They can't stay this hot...

They can if they keep shooting layups and open jumpers. Need to put some pressure on them.

 

[BrianFromWA]

This is a true tribute game. If MLK had believed in defense he never would have been shot.

too soon.

 

[VenomXL]

Horrible start.

 

[KingSpeed]

My Goodness, they've scored on every possession. Defense must start soon.

 

[Darkwebs]

What the heck? The game started already? I just got home from work. Thought I was gonna make tipoff
