[SlyPokerDog]

I like HCP's game threads better.

 

[BrianFromWA]

wait...Mike Malone is white?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Over/Under on how many shots Thornton and Salmons jackup combined, 37.5?

 

[FromWayDownTownBang]

Can the NBATV broadcast be seen in the NW or will it be blacked out?

 

[Strenuus]

I believe they are blacked out here.

 

[MickZagger]

wait...Mike Malone is white?

Yeah, he and Karl have same dad different mom.

 

[jlprk]

I like HCP's game threads better.

Eureka. You have hit upon why he left.

Right before he left, remember how he sadly admitted that Darkwebs is better at this?

It's like he lost his will to live.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I'm really glad you make these threads so early. That way the ghost of HCP won't be tempted to post one of his game fibers.

 

[julius]

blackouts are so 1980's.

 

[jlprk]

I wish I'd blacked out in the 80s.

 

[julius]

I wish I'd blacked out in the 80s.

There's a saying about the 60's that I think is true about the 80's.

If you remember them, you weren't doing it right.

 

[Strenuus]

blackouts are so 1980's.

Given the blackout structure of the NBA, I'm sure there would still be games blacked out from the 80's.

 

[Natebishop3]

This SHOULD be an easy one. SHOULD being the operative word.

 

[julius]

This SHOULD be an easy one. SHOULD being the operative word.

"Nobody said it would be easy".

Famous words by a smart dude.

 

[magnifier661]

If we lose this game, then I propose sly poker dog must eat a thousand year old egg!

 

[BlazerBeav]

I still cannot believe we split the series with Sacramento last year. Good grief that's bad.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Maybe I will actually get the Mikes?

At least I found out what the issue is

 

[BBert]

Maybe I will actually get the Mikes?

At least I found out what the issue is

Please, do tell?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Please, do tell?

Oh ya.

Well it appears that since comcast and Directv do not have an agreement, Directv can't show games broadcast on CSNNW. They also don't show games broadcast on KGW since it is a local channel.

However, there are games during the year that Directv gets permission to show CSNNW and or KGW games....Which is why I get to see some.

I like HCP's game threads better.

who?

 

[Draco]

I'm curious what our defensive rebounding will look like. That has been our biggest weakness. Will Joel Freeland or TRob have any decent minutes?

Our team is full of great shooters. Will LaMarcus play in the low post at all?

 

[FromWayDownTownBang]

Is Joel Freeland going to play tonight?

 

[mobes23]

Can you imagine the hype around this game if it were the first meeting of the Blazers and the new Seattle Sonics? What might have been....

 

[Boise Blazer]

Is Joel Freeland going to play tonight?

Thank god. There is only so much Leonard a fan can take

Thanks for that information. I have NBA league pass on DirecTV in Arizona and it drives me nuts that every game is shown with both the home and away broadcast except the Blazers. I always have to listen to the homer play by play calls for every local broadcast team the Blazers play against. I want to listen to my team's homer announcers!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Court Report on now (Noon pst) for those interested

[Strenuus]

Sometimes, I think the Blazers PR brass thinks blazer fans are fucking idiots. We're not, but they try to do this type of stuff: (First off, Can people not spell out the words "to" and "for"? I mean, using the number 4 means FOUR, not for. And using the number two means TWO. But that's a different diatribe for a different time)

Look at the bullet points. All these "Past" things Williams has done. Also, a whole bunch of "coulds", not facts, for this year. If it's too early to be posting these, Blazers PR, then don't post it at all. It's these waste articles.......

Isiah > Mo given this article. You failed, Blazers PR.
