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

[Labinot41]

I ain't gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed in Collins.

I saw it already in Summer League

Simons = Cool Daddy Smooth.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Collins a bust?

 

[TBpup]

Collins just has no strength or touch around the basket. If he is supposed to replace Ed Davis, we are in trouble.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Well, Zach is underwhelming in the post so far

 

[BonesJones]

Zach cant score in the post against a guy 6 inches shorter.... yikes.

 

[BlayZa]

collins getting read like a dictionary out there, easy money for toronto atm

 

[BonesJones]

Do you think we're going to be better this season than we were last season?

About the same.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I know its a preseason game, but dang I miss Ed...

 

[BonesJones]

Is Collins a bust?

He's 20.

Stop.

 

[Chris Craig]

Meyers is better than Zach

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts doesn't care about winning this game

 

[Gronk Brady]

Is Collins a bust?

It’s looking that way... I was his biggest fan after we drafted him, but I just don’t see it at the NBA level... he is so weak physically and doesn’t have he frame to put on too much weight... he can’t even score against Toronto’s third stringers

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers is better than Zach

That shouldn't be a hard accomplishment for Meyers. He's been in the league 6 years.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Also I think Simons game is smooth maybe Im crazy but he reminds me of CJ.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Broccoli with the turnover.

 

[TBpup]

Cameron Oliver (who?) wearing #23.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

oh that simons floater is tony parker like!

 

[BlayZa]

swagigan getting some minutes

 

[SIeepwalker]

Simns is smooth yup

 

[TBpup]

Simons has hit a couple of those floaters. That looks good early.

 

[BonesJones]

Anfernees floater is money

 

[SIeepwalker]

Rip preseason championship dreams

#SummerLeagueWasAFluke ?!

Rip preseason championship dreams

Stotts doesn't coach to win in the preseason. Just experimenting

Of course you say that crap. He's 20 bro. But since he doesn't look great in his 1st preseason game (after having a good 2nd half last year) you say he's a bust. Cmon dude.

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.

 

[Labinot41]

Right now i'm open to trade Collins

 

[Chris Craig]

Gotta be killing Dame and CJ not to be able to cone in help

 

[BlayZa]

great pass
