Have the Blazers ever played a forgien team?

Have the Blazers ever played a forgien team?

I'm almost positive we did either last year or the year before.

Maccabi Haifa

Highlights of that game.

 

[KingSpeed]

LMA goes 3/10 with 8 points in 23 minutes in Spurs lost to Kings lol.

I love that. Going for Aldridge to Meyers Legend has been an upgrade for us. No more tossing it into the post and standing around. That's the Spurs' problem now. I hope he enjoys playing center, lol!

Robin Lopez got 7 pts and 3 rebounds with the Knicks last night and Afflalo wasn't even listed on the Knicks roster...did they waive him already?...I think Phil Pressy could pull down 3 rebounds in a game and he's 5'8 or something like that

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Jokic > Nurkić

Jokic gained 15lbs since being drafted and it's showing.

I really wish we would hold on to OUR second round draft'n'stashes...

I thought AAA was injured?

He had a sore hamstring but even those guys are listed on the roster, he wasn't even listed

That's the latest (as of oct. 9th) ... look like they are just taking it slow.

They actually expect AAA to start.

Got it! He's Melo's buddy from way back..

FWIW (which isn't much): Preseason stats.

I wanted to trade our first this year for Jokic - well before the season was over.

I hope Neil at least asked Denver about him when they demanded a first rounder for a rental in Afflalo.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kristaps(!) looked great in his debut - 9/10/2. He knows where to be and doesn't look like a lost child on the court.

He does have hands-of-stone syndrome. Though, I hope it was just nerves. Or his hands are tiny. I can't tell.

Chris Paul broke his index finger tonight!

Left.

He'll have to develop a hook shot and a finger roll layup! Now they'll start questioning having preseason play I'm guessing..our version of a FIBA tournament only no trophy!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's way too soon to call D'Angelo Russell a bust...

 

[riverman]

It's going to be good to see some old players retire or take up coaching for a change. Next generation of superstars is an interesting bunch..Anthony Davis is going to be one of the greatest players on the planet for awhile I think.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I like Vonleh well enough, but maybe the Hornets hung on to the right PF.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Just realized that the Hornets have both Jeremy Lin and Jeremy Lamb. Somebody's going to get confused.

Probably rice.

Bro, you're going out on a LAME LIMB on this one.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bobby Portis is solid. Looks like another steal for the Bulls.

I wanted us to get that guy bad!

Well, I thought he meant BACK-UP power forward - the role Vonleh will be playing here and could have been playing in CHO. Zeller shooting 3-3 from 3-point range is making him look like their version of Meyers Leonard, the guy Vonleh will be backing up in Portland.

Cody Zeller is their backup. Marvin Williams is starting.
