Official Around the NBA - October/November 2015

[PDXFonz]

Figured I'd make this for October/November since October's schedule is so short. 4 more days until we kick the season off, 3 days for some other teams! Regardless of how the Blazers do, I'm looking forward to what should be an exciting season around the league. San Antonio went all in by getting David West and Aldridge. Spurs will open Wednesday in OKC at 5 pm on ESPN. However I for one believe their moves are in vain as LBJ, Love, Kyrie and the Cavs should be the favorites to win it all. Cleveland opens Tuesday in Chicago at 5pm on TNT.

Utah, Phoenix, New Orleans, Three young teams in the west which have spent years improving and rebuilding are now hungry for a playoff spot. And then there's us, a team in rebuild, but will it be a quicker turn around than many would predict?

Here's to a great NBA season with good health all around, and plenty of excitement.

Good to see this thread Fonz! I think this will be a season where the younger, under the radar teams play the most fun brand of basketball...I think the Blazers/Pelicans is going to be the best game on that night! Go Blazers!

I feel bad for the pelicans. They open the season with a back to back on the road. Imagine how much bitching there would be in this forum if that was us. Looking forward to the season!

With the distance Portland has to travel in a season, I feel sorry for no other team

Quite true. I should have said "almost feel sorry".

 

[PDXFonz]

First game of the season, but Barkley already in mid season form.

Who the crap is this band playing before tipoff? And why are they playing?

 

[PDXFonz]

Haha that new "in the zone" Kia commercial is pretty good.

Looks like nobody can make a jumpshot in Chicago tonight

Typical eastern conference snooze fest.

The only time the NBA exists to me is on the nights Blazers play.

Once Irving is healthy the Cavs will be dastardly. They may have lost but they have it all for a team to win a championship.

 

[riverman]

Mo Williams brought the Cavs back into this game pretty much..he looked good tonight even though the Bull hung on

 

[PDXFonz]

Chef Curry cooking up some marvelous shit tonight.

 

[PDXFonz]

He's not a man, HE'S A MACHINE!!!

We opened on the road for the first two games of the 2013-2014 season. And I'm sure there was whining haha

 

[PDXFonz]

Dante Cunningham has looked great so far. Glad to see him getting some burn and playing well.

Anthony Davis is the only dude in the league who can push Bogut in the back without retaliation. Even Bogut knows that AD is the GOAT.

Vonleh would fuck up Dingo Baby

Nards, Plums and Eddy would too with their arms tied behind their backs and blindfolds on!

Denny's a Blazer convert now..gave up on the Bulls after they fired Thibs

Denny's a Blazer convert now..Mrs. HCP did some heavy convincing during his last business trip to Portland.

FTFY

I'm watching Mets. Just checked box score of GS game. Curry 29/6 at half? AD playing like trash? Cool.

That's as good as Martell Webster!

Alonzo Gee plays for the Pelicans? What is it with the Pelicans/Timberwolves fascination with prior Blazers?
