Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 1: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 3, 2016 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBATV & CSNNW

[Strenuus]

Let's not be overly critical of the broadcasting not being energized enough after 2 quarters... BTW I'm liking Jordan Kent in that "anchor" role.

I was just about to say that... I really didn't like Jordan Kent too much in other roles... but for some reason, he seems good where he's at. I was wrong.

I'd like to see Barrett and Rice take over for Jaynes at Comcast

Wait, they got rid of Mike and Mike, but Jaynes is still around?

 

[Darkwebs]

Isn't he on a guaranteed deal?

He's guaranteed this year, and has a team option next year

PLEASE?!?!

 

[Scalma]

You'll get over it. Calabro has that vin scully type voice along with the ability to succinctly and charmingly tell a story within the construct of a basketball game. Hurd is young and hip, something Mike rice was the very antithesis too. Of course I miss the Mikes, I grew up with them, but I have a feeling blazer basketball is going to synonymous with calabro and hurd much sooner than you may think.

Rice is way more hip than Hurd to me. Calabro is miles ahead of MB though.

Yup and a guaranteed roster spot. Luis is gone

 

[Strenuus]

While our game is on break, I think it's okay to post this:

What makes it special? That he fell on his ass?

 

[Darkwebs]

I believe Comcast employs Jaynes, not the Blazers. So hopefully Comcast can hire the Mikes for something Blazer related

Well said.

It's not like I've never heard Calabro. He's always annoyed me. I don't need someone young and hip.

 

[illmatic99]

Napier looks better than any Jazz PG

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Before we get too cocky, their starters were all pluses and ours all minuses. Gobert was +8 in 16 minutes with ten rbs. Lillard is -8.

I think the one thing that frustrated me about Rice was that we all knew he was knowledgeable, but he hardly ever used it. I like being entertained, but I like to learn too.

POSITIVELY SPIN THAT! :MARIS61:

 

[Strenuus]

It's weird watching replays now knowing what @HCP does to do them so quickly.

Meh. I thought he was fine. Some nights he went overboard with silliness, but he was fun and a good compliment to Barrett.

 

[Strenuus]

MO3!

 

[Strenuus]

We'll agree to disagree, friend.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Thoroughly disagree. Yes, I will admit rices charm is in his old man with no filter persona. That was fine for the organization for a long time, but rice is firmly in his 80s and frankly if you think Mike rice is hip, you yourself are not hip. Hurd is a chiller, a former ball player, a strong African American perspective in a sport foundationally built on African Americans, and yes... hip. He's made me laugh more than a few times already, and I'm a 26 year old millennial.

 

[Strenuus]

MO3 again!

 

[LuckyShot]

Fucking raining 3s!

I'd like a potted plant to take over for Jaynes.

 

[illmatic99]

This is some ridiculous spacing

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This.

Rice and Calabro would have been amazing.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm very glad we didn't let go of Crabbe. He looks much improved.

 

[KingSpeed]

We're so good.

Hurd is corny. Rice is real.

I'm also a millennial. Whatever that means.

 

[Strenuus]

We're so good.

I expect a "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NOW?" thread tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

One dribble pullup looks so confident
