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

[KingSpeed]

Season over, Jazz fans!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

SlyPokerDog comes across as such a douche FYI.

Lets go easy with the personal insults.

 

[crandc]

He comes off like the kind of person who mistakes intelligence for being a "douche". That's a far more devastating revelation.

Who?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Connaughton is the new Babbitt. Probably can't miss in practice but looks like trash in real games.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I don't miss Aminu's jumper

 

[riverman]

Sometimes I think Connaughton should shoot the 3 like pitching a change up instead of chucking fast balls....he throws the basketball sometimes

 

[The Professional Fan]

Lets go easy with the personal insults.

Ha!

 

[KingSpeed]

It would be so cool if we didn't lose at all this year, just sweep preseason, regular season, and playoffs. We're good enough to do it.

Babbitt>>>>>>>PC

 

[Strenuus]

I don't like his voice and so far his insights are very pedestrian. He is not entertaining and seems like any old run of the mill color commentator. With Rice we had someone unique, and Hurd (so far) seems like a step in the opposite direction.

Fair enough. I actually find his voice to be good... but I can understand why this could be.

Kingspeed in midseason form already!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

There is a real confidence to this years team already. They all seem very comfortable in their roles.

I.Love.You.

I'm really happy too Eric....I think good things are happening for the franchise...GO BLAZERS!

 

[StumptownHoliday]

I wasn't actually intending to insult slypokerdog actually... I was under the impression that professional fan was calling me a douche when I'm just dropping knowledge. Sorry that insults some people but frankly you gotta face the facts.

 

[illmatic99]

Man, mason looks so active. Even more than last year if that's possible

Dude is SPRINTING

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Also, damn the blazers look so good this season *drools*

lol.

 

[B-Roy]

This is without Meyers and Ezeli as well. Really excited to see Ezeli.

 

[riverman]

Good game thread! Nobody bitched much through 3 qtrs....good way to start the season

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Contract.Year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Connaughton is so good. Aminu!!

 

[HailBlazers]

Chief!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

Gonna be a very exciting season if this defense is a sign of things to come.

 

[Scalma]

Aminu looks like he's been sleeping under a bridge all offseason

 

[Strenuus]

I just do not see what people see in the Jazz. lol. They look so... flat.

(Ba dum tss)

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I have to keep reminding myself it's preseason... But we look good. Really, really good. This team isn't the most talented team in the NBA but they probably have the best chemistry.

 

[riverman]

I'm impressed with Napier and Garrettson...both guys look good

 

[Strenuus]

I'll see what the defense looks like against a more apt offense... because the Jazz offense is TERRIBLE... but it does look good against an inferior offense.
