Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ SUNS - OCTOBER 5, 2018- FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), No TV

What was that Stauskas...?

He isn't Christian McCaffrey in the quickness department, is he.....

 

[BonesJones]

He doesn't seem nearly as shifty to me... He can shoot really good.

He's not, which is why I said without the ball pounding haha. His shot, his patience, and his overall pace when catching the ball off screens and spotting up are very CJ-esque.

 

[BonesJones]

A non jump shooting ET? WUT

It's funny how layups are so much more effective than corkscrewing, fadeaway contested 10-15 footers... lol.

 

[Strenuus]

I wonder what it'd look like if we had two consecutive plays...

 

[BonesJones]

This is one of the most boring Blazer games I've ever watched. No ball movement, no transition offense, 10 millino whistles...

 

[BonesJones]

Great pass from Trent to Collins.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's funny how layups are so much more effective than corkscrewing, fadeaway contested 10-15 footers... lol.

But!!!! corkscrewing fade away jumpers are a lot more fun!

 

[Strenuus]

Okay... the whistles work. Now let them play!

 

[BonesJones]

Great pass from Trent to Collins.

If Trent can be effective on the pick n roll as a ball handler his game will be more versatile than I expected.

 

[BonesJones]

Yayyy Collins!

 

[ripcityboy]

Off the ball movement is a lot better.

 

[Strenuus]

I have to say, I like this commentary team.

 

[BlayZa]

meyers is in.

its over.

 

[Strenuus]

NOOOO. Meyers.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm gonna hop on the "referee bandwagon". They're killin it!

 

[Jade Falcon]

AAHHH! Meyers!

 

[ripcityboy]

Ayton is going to be a beast.

 

[Strenuus]

Aminu on Ayton. Thank you.

 

[BlayZa]

FLUKE

 

[Strenuus]

That was ugly, Meyers. lol.

 

[ripcityboy]

Do you think Baldwin or Curry will be the ball handler on the second unit?

 

[BonesJones]

We should just avoid pivoting.

 

[rotary111]

I like our bench alot this year. We could have more questions about our starting lineup than the second unit this season.

Those rooks are going to make a case for minutes whether coach likes it or not.

 

[BlayZa]

meyers literally has no intention of even trying to get boards.

 

[Strenuus]

Trent trying to make something happen.

 

[H.C.]

That was ugly, Meyers. lol.

Yeah he should've caught it cleanly, but the guard should've hit him with the lob before he turned the corner.

 

[JDC]

Do you think Baldwin or Curry will be the ball handler on the second unit?

Turner

 

[BonesJones]

Why the hell isn't Simons gonna play at all this half?

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers! BLOCK OUT.

 

[ripcityboy]

meyers literally has no intention of even trying to get boards.

If Nurk goes down for any length of time, it will be more painful than the injury itself.
