Jazz @ Blazers 10/20/09 Pre-Season Game Thread

[Darkwebs]

Aldridge won't be starting, says Wheels.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Maybe Nate will have Blakey start at the PF spot as well?

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazer turnover on the 1st posession of the game. Eek, not good.

 

[B-Roy]

Aldridge isn't playing today.

 

[Darkwebs]

Maybe Nate will have Blakey start at the PF spot as well?

Howard gets the start.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy is the 1st Blazer to score.

 

[Darkwebs]

Not a good start. 2 to 9. Down 7 already and it's only been 3 minutes into the game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Apparently, Batum might be hurt.

 

[B-Roy]

Aldridge just got to the game. Perhaps he was running late?

Batum is injured.

 

[cdub503]

What the fuck happened to batum?

 

[Idog1976]

Aldridge just got to the game. Perhaps he was running late?

Batum is injured.

I'm far more worried about Batum's shoulder then Oden's thigh...

For the record I was worried about Oden's knee after the magette bump. This time not so much.

 

[Rodolfo]

oh god. What happened to Nic?

 

[Darkwebs]

Down 10 points. Jeez. D-Williams single-handedly have more points than us right now.

 

[jlprk]

Is this game on TV?

I'm lookin' at you, HCP!! And don't give me that 3-question mark answer again!!

 

[Darkwebs]

oh god. What happened to Nic?

No details yet, but he was bumped by Kirilenko, I think. Batum was sent to the lockerroom. It might be his shoulder again

 

[B-Roy]

Wow 6 turnovers in 6 minutes.

Technical on Joel.

....

On Batum: He was called for a foul on Kirilenko and then just left the game hurt.

 

[julius]

Good strong start by the lineup that Nate gets wood for.

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel gets a T. Refs are killing us.

 

[Darkwebs]

Left shin contusion for Aldridge. That's why he is not playing today.

 

[B-Roy]

Aldridge has a left shin contusion, and he suffered it in practice.

Will not play.

 

[Idog1976]

oh god. What happened to Nic?

His shoulder has been bothering him since International play for France. Probably just aggravated it, no official report yet but I didn't hear anything like "Batum limps off the court" just that he went to the locker room. So I'm speculating a bit here. Didn't hear anything about limping so I'm guessing it's not a leg injury and I know the shoulder has been bothering him. On the other hand he is back now so who knows. Wheels just said something about it but I missed it.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Batum back on bench. No update yet.

 

[B-Roy]

Jazz shooting 10-13...

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I just chortle.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nate's preferred starting line up is a joke.


DO NOT MAKE THE EXCUSE THAT ALDRIDGE ISN'T PLAYING EITHER.


Absolute joke.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum got a right thigh contusion, so it's not his shoulder. He should be back later in the game.

 

[Rodolfo]

Need to get the big fella in the game!

 

[B-Roy]

Nate's preferred starting line up is a joke.


DO NOT MAKE THE EXCUSE THAT ALDRIDGE ISN'T PLAYING EITHER.


Absolute joke.

???

The only one who "should" be starting is Miller I guess. It's not much of a ridiculous joke.

Batum has a right thigh contusion?

What's with all these contusions?

 

[Rodolfo]

Nate's preferred starting line up is a joke.


DO NOT MAKE THE EXCUSE THAT ALDRIDGE ISN'T PLAYING EITHER.


Absolute joke.

It's absolutely the PRESEASON!

 

[Idog1976]

Right thigh contusion for Batum. MIXUM you're on in 5...4...3...2...1 and the franchise is doomed.
