KINGS @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD - 11/8/13, FRIDAY, 7 PM - NBATV

[Strenuus]

Okay. Freeland is becoming the real deal.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Freeland doin work

 

[illmatic99]

YA JOEL

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Center of the future?

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel's transformation from last year to this year is spectacular!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Seems like Thomas Robinson is attempting to do some work...

 

[santeesioux]

I know I post here, but my interest in the team has waned a TON since they left Fox Sports. A big part of why I never too upset over losing Oden/Roy/LaMarcus is because I probably saw 3 or 4 games that they played in.

Wheels is nice and all, but it just isn't the same. I'm too young to remember, but didn't they have some sort of a PPV option a long time ago? Why didn't they do something like that statewide when it was obvious no one was going to get the channel? I'm sure Comcast would have been all for people in areas without Comcast overpaying them.

 

[Drttimmy]

WOW! Freeland, keep it up big man. Lots of little nuggets he's bringin.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Freeland's backup Lopez is coming back in.

 

[illmatic99]

Sorry, why is Stotts taking Joel out now?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Freeland is becoming one of my favorite players.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Sorry, why is Stotts taking Joel out now?

Limited minutes.

 

[Strenuus]

Bench Center of the future?

FIFY.

And this would be true, for the short term.

The unedited version for the long term? Perhaps... though he does have a lot of miles on those legs.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Loving me some Joel Freeland. Confident on offense and getting the big time 2-handed denial on Travis!

BNM

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Limited minutes.

I bet he's getting gassed; best to take him out before he gets too tired to play well in the second half.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

FIFY.

And this would be true, for the short term.

The unedited version for the long term? Perhaps... though he does have a lot of miles on those legs.

He's what, 25? Not too bad, really.

 

[KingSpeed]

Freeland rules.

 

[Strenuus]

He's what, 25? Not too bad, really.

Doesn't he already have 7 years in various leagues already though?

 

[Strenuus]

God damn we take a lot of 3's.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Doesn't he already have 7 years in various leagues already though?

True but they don't play 82 games at the NBA pace.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Doesn't he already have 7 years in various leagues already though?

That's Euro minutes. Don't most those guys play around 28 minutes a night?

Re: So many empty seats!

The third straight home game where there are MANY open seats.

Every section has a trickle of red seats. I can't remember the last time this happened this early in the season.

What could be the cause?

It's the MODA curse. This never happened when the games were held at the Rose Garden.

Hearing about the empty seats gives me hope I may be able to take my girls to game or two this year. If I lived closer, I'd be there tonight. I also can't take the upper level vertigo. Any time someone wants to get me decent seats for a decent price, I'll make the trip. In the meantime, the closest I'm getting to this game tonight is this game thread.

 

[KingSpeed]

We are very fun to watch tonight

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That's Euro minutes. Don't most those guys play around 28 minutes a night?

Exactly.

 

[Boob-No-More]

And loved Trob ripping that rebound away from Chuck Hayes and running the court for the layup at the other end.

BNM

 

[Strenuus]

True but they don't play 82 games at the NBA pace.

Fair enough.

He looks (well, for me, sounds) really good tonight. Need to see him against the elite C's, but i'd defintely give him some starter minutes. Totally earned it.

 

[Natebishop3]

If Thomas Robinson played against the Kings every night, he'd be an All-Star.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sacto does make every center look good against them... but Freeland's doing it on both ends.

 

[Natebishop3]

Might be time to switch Aldridge onto Cousins?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If the Blazers played against the Kings every night, we'd be 18-0.
