Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 3: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 7, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

Absolutely agree. So many defining moments in that show as Walt keeps sinking deeper and deeper, being seduced by the money and especially the power he had previously lacked in his boring, mundane life.

I've only watched it once, but will probably watch it a second time this winter. I'm currently re-watching, Mad Men, one of my other favorite shows. I don't watch much TV when the weather is nice and the days are long. I'd rather be outside. I get most of my TV fix during the short, rainy days of winter and there isn't really anything new on I want to watch these days, So, it looks like I'll be re-watching some of my old favorites this winter - and the Blazers!

Definitely watch it a second time... you'll pick up so much you missed prior.

Also, if you need a good binge show, watch broadchurch. Watched all three seasons in about a week and a half. It is AMAZING.

That stretch was much better because we were getting clean looks because we were pushing the ball in transition. We could be such an effective transition team... we need more of that.

 

[ripcityboy]

What channel is it on cable? I can't find it on the CSNW?

 

[BonesJones]

Jazz are a good defensive team.

But it was the fact that we shot 7 or 8 jumpers before even trying to get to the rim or work the ball inside. And it wasn't like it was 7 great looks... there was 3 long 2s early in the clock.

 

[BonesJones]

NBCNW

[JDC]

Our offense is TERRIBLE.

The only layups we shot were Aminu trying to 1v1 half post against Gobert and signalling and then Nurkic catching the hairball for a layup.

No transition, no ball movement... this is why I'm so finished with this coaching staff.. we haven't learned from last year. We're not good enough shooters to try and shoot 100 jumpers a games, and teams that do that usually get a lot of clean looks off of transition basketball. That first 3 minutes was extremely frustrating..

....and we looked great the rest of the quarter minus the last couple.

It's the third game of the preseason. Give it time.

 

[JDC]

Wade is killing the rhythm of the offense right now...

 

[Strenuus]

Mitchell just outworked Meyers in the post. Both on Meyers getting a pass, and the rebound. So freaking sad.

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers just screened no-one.

 

[ripcityboy]

I will say one thing. Stauskus does try.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Meyers just screened no-one.

That's a virtual or "e-screen". Too much virtual reality for Meyers - now he's thinking it real life.

 

[James lamphear]

Only bad thing that QT was the 6 turnover.

 

[BonesJones]

Layman needs to get more confident with the ball.

Stauskas had a good shift. Great baseline cut (Finally!) by him for the reverse layin.

 

[ripcityboy]

How much time before we look for another big man?

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers just screened no-one.

This is the last thing we should complain about though. He's probably the best screen setter on the team.

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers outsiders?

It'll fail.

 

[BonesJones]

Wade is killing the rhythm of the offense right now...

I honestly think he has some ET in him. Not a great shooter that needs to the ball in his hands and tries to do a little too much.

 

[Strenuus]

This is the last thing we should complain about though. He's probably the best screen setter on the team.

So as a team we suck at setting screens? lol.

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers outsiders?

It'll fail.

It's been in TV for almost a year haha.

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers sets good screens...

 

[julius]

I've said it before, and i'll say it again...those Blazers outsiders commercials make me so less likely to watch that show...

 

[BonesJones]

Mitchell just outworked Meyers in the post. Both on Meyers getting a pass, and the rebound. So freaking sad.

We didn't even look to him. Here we go with the Meyers bashing over stuff that isn't his fault.

 

[ripcityboy]

Come on Layman. Drill those.

 

[JDC]

I'm slightly worried about Zach's hands.

 

[Strenuus]

We didn't even look to him. Here we go with the Meyers bashing over stuff that isn't his fault.

There was a reason we didn't. He never had position. (And Baldwin did, he was wanting to, but couldn't)

 

[e_blazer]

No shit. Two rebounds in three minutes in the first.

 

[ripcityboy]

Both our bigs are sagging off under the paint?

 

[Strenuus]

It's been in TV for almost a year haha.

I know it has.

It will still fail like a lot of those other "original content".
