Game Thread Preseason Game #1: Nuggets @ Blazers - Veterans Memorial Coliseum

[EL PRESIDENTE]

As we've been speculating, think whiteside is gone in a deal for a 3/4 come jan/feb

We will need his big body against Jokic and Anthony Davis.

 

[Jade Falcon]

It should be known that I hate Denver. GS and Denver are my two most hated teams.....although with all of this LA LeBron media trolling, the Lakers are certainly vying for a spot on that list.

The Bucks had both Lopez twins play together ...talk about twin towers

 

[Scalma]

I like what Bazemore is going to bring.

Whiteside has been nursing an injury so the rust isn’t surprising.

I don’t know what the rotation will be but I think it’s pretty safe to say all the guys that played in the first half will be part, or just outside, of it (Gasol probably replaces Skal or Tolliver.)

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I think he's really underrated

I think TD is like somewhere between 10th-15th best player in the history of Basketball, its not to shame Milsap, but he’s not even relatively close to that IMO.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good first half. Liking the Blazers defense.

 

[riverman]

Everybody is rushing a bit...they'll settle down and get a flow going second half

Robin hit a 3 too!

You did? I feel like we gave up so many open 3s.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Robin hit a 3 too!

brook, Robin, Giannis thats a big front 3!

 

[Scalma]

Oh thanks Jalen for letting me know Zach Collins was drafted a year ago I’m definitely going to take your opinions seriously

Defense in the paint

 

[James lamphear]

Right now Whiteside looks like he has no lift I just wonder if that ankle still bothers him.

 

[riverman]

I love that they went full on Saturday Night Fever with the coaches suits

 

[James lamphear]

The Terry Stotts cleavage look!

Very colorful

He's playing smart by not forcing it

 

[Chris Craig]

The Terry Stotts cleavage look!

He's going Simon Cowell tonight with it

Love the retro suit

I caught that as well. Full eye roll.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I was so impressed with the bench. Mario, Baze and Ant can really push the ball, think about it, the Blazers have had a huge problem with just finding guys who can handle the freaking ball, now theyve got 3 guys on the bench who can get a board and take off. Their playing with pace, if they can sustain that energy for 82 games and thats just how they play, they’re bench is going to be awesome.

I caught that too. Shook my head

The national media. you gotta love 'em......NOT!

 

[RickyJoe]

Man that Simmons kid can’t play defense to save his life.

Good thing we got no Simmons

 

[Scalma]

Aight put in Hoard and nas and Moses

Baze was attacking every time! Mario was on it too!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Baze was attacking every time! Mario was on it too!

It was beautiful to watch. The shooting left a ton to be desired but I think Tolliver, Baze and Simons can all shoot.

Beautiful. There wqs a couple shots that left me scratching my head. Those guys can definitely shoot.

 

[blazerfan11]

I want to see Simons with the ball A LOT more. I am expecting that in the 2nd half.
