Game Thread Preseason Game #1 - Blazers vs Raptors in Vancouver BC

[SIeepwalker]

I like our rookies

 

[dviss1]

Simons is gonna be cold.

 

[SIeepwalker]

WOW SIMONS

 

[TBpup]

That pass from Simons may be better than any pass CJ throws all season.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Simons has been one of the Blazers that have impressed me in this game.

 

[SIeepwalker]

lmao nice 3 by the camp invite

 

[SIeepwalker]

for anyone complaining about Calabro and Hurd... I hope you are watching this game with sound......

It is pretty bad isn't it...

 

[TBpup]

Payton II should ever shoot from outside of 5' with that form.

 

[dviss1]

YAAAAASSSSSSSS UNDERHAND!!!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That had to be a flop no way Simons is strong enough to push an nba player that far.

 

[dviss1]

GP2 should get no more time....

Trash...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I don't think we're making the preseason playoffs.

 

[BonesJones]

Gary Payton Jr. is horrible.

 

[BonesJones]

Too early to be a bust but for a Lottery pick, I thought I'd see at least some improvement by now. He seems to have regressed.

Based on one preseason game and summer league?

You're better than that.

Season. Over.

 

[dviss1]

I see Meyers getting time. Watch.

 

[BonesJones]

Right now i'm open to trade Collins

LOL.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sly I’m a bit unimpressed. Not much work obviously went

As I understand it, Sly is a very busy man as he's dating the entire Blazers dance team all at the same time.

 

[BonesJones]

I could've done as good of a job as Payton just did.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Well of course, he is, after all, the Leader of the Pack. All the dancers want a bit o'that leader.

Shouldn't have got any

 

[Chris Craig]

The truth

 

[BonesJones]

They called us for 45 fouls. Almost 1 foul per minute. Ridiculous.

Jesus

And they get away with that shit

You're better than that.

You're better than that than to think I'm referring to just one pre-season game. He looked good early last season and seemed to regress through the later portion of the season and didn't show any improvement in Summer League. It's been quite some time since he had even a decent game.

So I was pretty openly against drafting Collins, so I have a bias there that may be hard to get around. I'm not going to declare him a bust, but I do think there were better players available when they drafted him.
I think Collins looks pretty good defensively, and offensively he just cannot get the ball in the hoop.
He's obviously still young and all that, hopefully he puts things together. I have seen flashes from him where he looks great. So hopefully he gets it put together. I had pretty much the same opinion of his game when they drafted him that I do now.

Not according to the refs

It's not unfair. The team talks about him as a pillar, and he may be, but ......meh

He had better stats after the all-star break than before..
