Kings @ Portland, Preseaon, 10/5/2015 - Game Thread

But more physical already, can't wait to see Vonleh's development this yr./the future w/ us!

I see why people criticize Vonleh's jumping ability. The combine shows he can jump, but he doesn't seem to actually do it as much in games. I think that will come with time and experience. But, wow if he gets his mitts on a contested rebound, he is either going to get it or at least pry it loose. And how about the form on that three? Beautiful. It will be fun to watch how he develops his game and how they use him. Certainly he is going to get his minutes--especially if Meyers has frequent foul trouble.

 

[riverman]

Our bigs are impressive..would like to see Cliff Alexander as well. I'm thinking with Hendo and Aminu back, we're pretty deep

Pet Peeve alert: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

From the Sacramento game report on SBNation:

The Blazers actually have a decent bit of size defensively in Mason Plumlee and Meyers Leonard, who are 6'10 and 7'1 respectively.

Why does this keep recycling? Barefoot, Mason is 6'11.25", Meyers is 6'11.75". Arghhhhhh!!!!!!

Are those measurements from this season? Because Leonard could have grown.

 

[Andrew Teyema]

Yeah, Pressey was really forcing in his minutes. He started out not doing well and then pushed harder and tried to go hero mode, but it didn't work. I expect he will look better in other games, but Frazier had the big win tonight.

Yeah I'm not saying he's done for. He just pushed it too hard when he has other games to prove himself. Frazier definitely took the lead last night. When he was the leading point guard, he was calm and knew what he needed to do.

Vlade's cousins were hired as scouts and math wasn't their strong suit but, family is family

From the draft combine. My frustration isn't with Leonard. He is always correctly listed. But I constantly see Mason listed as 6'10", when he is easily 7' in the thinnest of shoes. It is funniest when a writer will comment about him being short for a center. Really?

They're including Meyers Johnny Bravo do.

Yeah that's not cool.

I love the Twin Ivory Towers lineup.

I kinda wanna call them City Mouse/Country Mouse, because Mason looks like a giant farmboy, and Meyers is very Metro.

That's why I like it; it's ironic too.

How about the M&M brothers:

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Apropos of nothing, I love whoever implied Fraizer + Pressey was "Thing 1 and Thing 2" That made me laugh.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pressy and Frazier on the court?oh fuck
View attachment 6111

This is great.

 

[blazedanugz]

the blazers line up sheet at the game yesterday had plumlee at 6'11. standing next to meyers it looks like hes maybe an inch shorter than meyers. i was always under the impression that meyers was 7'1 tho

 

[Chris Craig]

There was a lot of mistakes that Pressey made last night. Him leading the team at the end was just the wrong idea.

Yeah he was trying to compete with Fraizer and failed miserably....the harder he tried the worse he did

Still I don't know why Pressey had a worse -/+ then Connaughton....maybe because Connaughton was actually passing the ball

 

[Chris Craig]

He can throw a t-shirt further and faster than a t-shirt cannon. That will help pump up the crowds during timeouts.

So hire him as a second mascot?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yes and since he went to Notre Dame the Pope will be a fan.

Connaughton played a bit in the first half too, and that shift positively impacted his +/-.

Let's get one thing straight. I'm the only one here who's allowed to say "Duh."

Leave Denny's thong out of this.

This has been like our 3rd stringers vs their 2nd unit the 4th quarter...

Always sort your numbers into order before talking to a tribe of drunk posters.

Glad that you brought that up. I recently discovered that Denny has kept secret that no one wears a jock strap anymore.

I posted that as a joke about stringers. I didn't get the thong joke till now.

This court is reaching out and twisting ankles tonight.

Now that was a psychedelic vision.
