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

[Strenuus]

Montero looks a step slow.

 

[LuckyShot]

That last one was on whoever passed it to him lol.

Kind of, but he still lacks in so many ways. Has not picked up on the nuances of the game at all. Still looks like a physically talented kid who really has only played playground ball, and looks out of place in an organized game.

 

[Strenuus]

With all the commentary on the new TV duo, I thought you might all want to know that Wheels' solo broadcast had been very strong. I don't miss Tone at all.

Not surprised at all. I had no worries he'd be able to do it.

Calabro and Hurd are pretty quiet. I feel like I've tuned them out unintentionally.

Not disagreeing with that at all.

One thing seems clear with this new crew: the past attention to the refs has been dramatically reduced. Hardly any discussion of bad calls and I don't think that they've even mentioned who the officials are. It's only preseason, but I suspect that may have been a sore point about the Mike's style.

They are low. I hear the sneakers squeaking more than them at times. Hurd actually sounds louder than Calabro.

Dull is the word I would use.

And I am so happy about that. That got real annoying real fast.

It's gonna take some time for them to build up some chemistry.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I have no shame in admitting I liked the homerism of the Mikes. I realize that now. Eh. Oh well.

 

[Scalma]

Looks like eyes dont lie when it comes to plumlee. Reading he's added 10 pounds in the offseason.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Mike and Mike 4 Life

 

[MickZagger]

Should we be pissed if we lose this??

Did Mike Barrett tell you that?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nah. Giving the scrubs minutes.

 

[Strenuus]

Mont3ro (may be the only time it's ever used).

 

[Darkwebs]

Those last 2 plays are why Montero is such an intriguing prospect.

 

[KingSpeed]

Montero be clutch

He's always shown flashes. He's just never shown more.

 

[PDXFonz]

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

Holy shit you are right. He hits game winners like the chalupacabra too.

 

[LuckyShot]

lol

 

[Strenuus]

LOL that bank.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bank City!

 

[Darkwebs]

Jerrett must be the luckiest mofo in the world. A kind bounce on a 3 early in the game, then he just banks one there.

 

[KingSpeed]

1-0

 

[Strenuus]

Man, the Jazz were so unimpressive. lol.

 

[Schilly]

That "Courage" tattoo...

 

[HailBlazers]

Efficient game by Napier.

He needs to break a sweat before we'll see his real game....coming in for a few plays he's going to show rust..he's improved but a project
