GAME THREAD: Blazers vs. Bulls

[ABM]

We got this.

Hoping Lillard goes for 26 or more!

Chicago Bulls

Marquis Teague: Little brothers unite! Jeff Teague’s younger brother, Marquis, played well in limited time last season for the Bulls, so Chicago will see whether it can strike it rich again by inviting Tony Allen’s younger brother, Ryan, and Carlos Boozer’s younger brother, Charles, to Las Vegas. If Charles and Ryan are half as vocal as their brothers, we’re all in for a treat.

Erik Murphy: Sometimes player comparisons can get a little wacky, but Murphy is a Matt Bonner clone all the way. The stretch big man shot 45 percent from behind the arc in his final season at Florida, so he could be a useful situational player this season if his defense is up to par.

Tony Snell: Here’s another long wing defender with an underrated jumper for Tom Thibodeau to play with. That’s a frightening proposition for opposing wings out East.

I just set it to record FAMS! I'll be poolside with the fam during the game. Will have to wait and read this sure to be entertaining game thread later tomorrow night.

Do you make your living from being a swimming star, or broadcasting basketball?

I'd sure like to catch this game. I wonder if any watering holes might be showing it?

probably if it's on nbatv and live, which I thought it was supposed to be.

You can come over here to watch it, but all I have to offer to drink is water.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Right now:

Malcolm Thomas > Thomas Robinson
Andrew Goudelock (sp?) > CJ McCollum

Hoping that changes.

Last game before the tourney! The win or loss doesn't matter terribly much since we can't get a bye but I just hope the fellas play better.

1) Good, the sucky teams have a chance for an extra game if they "turn it on" during the tourney... and boy do we need extra games!
2) The Bulls are 2-0, we are 0-2.

Coincidentally, BlazerBoy's car was parked outside your house 944 times.

Hoping for a good game. Make my $15 worthwile

 

[Darkwebs]

If we don't get blown out again, I guess that could be considered a victory. But I hope we win this one since we did have a day off to practice

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice block by Leonard

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice give and go from TRob to Crabbe.

 

[B-Roy]

Meyers looks active.

CJ is taking very Jamal Crawfordish shots.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

ugggggggly

 

[Darkwebs]

2 blazer air balls in a row

 

[Darkwebs]

What a play!!! Spectacular alley oop!

 

[JDC]

Stotts mentioned that he was switching up some of his defensive principles for this year and the biggest change I'm noticing is our pick and roll coverages. We are "downing" or "icing" angle picks. Our call is "blue" though.

CJ is taking very Jamal Crawfordish shots.

Crawford was popping into my head as well.

 

[Darkwebs]

MCCollum is settling down now

 

[Natebishop3]

Might want to guard Murphy...... because all he can do is shoot.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

claver looks good

these are the types of players robinson dominated against 2 years ago, his O is in the shitter

 

[B-Roy]

Robinson keeps bringing the ball down after catching it. Needs to go straight up or he'll keep getting stripped.

 

[Darkwebs]

So why do all our opponents wear the t-shirt jerseys, but not us? We don't have those?
