PDX vs MIA Game 5 SL-- 1pm PST

Game thread bitches.

This will be a good test for Dame going up against Norris Cole. Cole isn't a superstar or anything but is a legit NBA pg.

 

[THE HCP]

Just my guess, but Lillard won't play much.

 

[tlongII]

I think Lillard will play a lot. Why not?

 

[THE HCP]

With our history of injuries........ he has proven what he can do. On the other hand, he can rest for 2 months, so maybe he'll play the whole game.

I see. So he'll play a lot.......or not.

Ya, either, or. Or maybe not!

 

[ironcrotch]

Well there goes that... time to go do something productive.

@NBAGuru: Damian Lillard, Meyers Leonard, and Nolan Smith all not playing for Portland today vs. Miami.

This is the Blazers' way of thanking all the players who have no real shot at making the roster, but who have been there practicing. They're giving them a forum to demonstrate their skills for other teams.

Or, they want Luke Babbitt to showcase himself as a franchise player!

 

[Rhal]

This is one game i'm not to mad I can't watch now that I know whos not playing

 

[mook]

Fuck. No lillard no Leonard no even Babbitt. Lame. I should bale on this game.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Barton is feelin' it!

 

[tlongII]

I switched channels after they announced Lillard and Meyers weren't playing.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Barton playing well!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Barton or EWill?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I wish we had room for Bost. He's got attitude!

 

[PapaG]

Lillard and Leonard have proven themselves.

They're sitting Babbitt to protect his trade value after he's had a decent Summer League.

 

[PapaG]

I wish we had room for Bost. He's got attitude!

Once the guy from Boston is waived, Bost will probably get a camp invitation. I like him.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Bobby M. wants Meyers to gain 15-20 pounds of muscle before the season begins.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LaMarcus doin work.

 

[ironcrotch]

Anyone watching the NBATV feed? Kendall Gill looks like he could suit up for a team and play.

No kidding. I was like, "Who is that guy? Is he an active player? How come he's talking about Jordan and the Pro-Am league?"

 

[Nikolokolus]

LaMarcus doin work.

What did I miss? (just got done with a bunch of remodel shit).

 

[PapaG]

What did I miss? (just got done with a bunch of remodel shit).

LMR III doin' work!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Barton or EWill?

Injuries aside, E-Will and it's not even close

 

[Mediocre Man]

I wanna see Lillard up off the bench supporting his team. A PG needs to be a leader

 

[THE HCP]

Told you bitches he wasn't plain'! #insideinfo

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Kendell Gill on Will Barton: "He's beatin' those guys like a pinata."

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This Miami team is hard to watch.

They suck most heinously.

 

[ironcrotch]

Trill Barton!
