Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ KINGS - OCTOBER 9, 2017- MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[BrunoSOC]

Not if you're outside of USA. International League Pass have no blackouts.

Thats my case. I live in Brazil

 

[blue9]

They got that House of Lannister logo going on!

Looks like a lion referee making the double-dribble signal!

Why in a preseason B2b ? Lillard already played 26 yesterday

Heard the interview, said he wanted to see how they react to playing a b2b.

I think that answers you question, its preseason, theres no intensity like in regular season, and so far starters played limited minutes... Im fine with it, but still, want to see Collins and Biggie get a lot of playing time

With guys that already are proven? What's the point? Nurk especially I'd coddle and sit completely.

He hasn't seen how they react to it the past several years? Jeez Louise!

It makes some sense to use the B2B as an opportunity replicate regular season realities. Basically, he's treating this like NFL teams treat game 3 of the preseason--like a regular season dress rehearsal.

I imagine they'll probably have significantly reduce minutes in the final 2 preseason games at Phoenix and against Maccabi.

 

[Mr. Robot]

yeah, Id "rest" big 3 against Maccabi, let the other guys play

 

[THE HCP]

Swanigan to make an impression!

ZBO is gonna school this kid!

 

[andalusian]

ZBO is gonna school this kid!

There is google maps nowadays. He can google "where is the closest gentleman's club" by himself. No real need for ZBo's institutional knowledge.

I hope so! School is for teaching. I have no doubt Biggie will learn lessons from any schooling he receives, and then use what he learned to repay the favor.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Thats what im thinking and what i think he will do.

I trust Stotts

 

[BrunoSOC]

I like the ideia. Dame will put 30p tonight for sure.

Last game and against the suns, if im stotts i put this starting 5: Shabazz, Morrow, Turner, Calleb (Davis), Collins (Leonard).

I hope our rookies can play a little more in this lasts game

Absolutely, ZBo's posse completely destroys Caleb's lack of one. Lovin' gonna put a hurt on!

On the basketball court, it'll be a different story, but who cares about that!

 

[THE HCP]

I hope Dame doesn't score 30! He needs to save that shit for the regular season if you ask me.

 

[Trackjack]

It was put out already that he was going to extend the big 3 minutes against the clippers and the kings. Against the suns it will be reduce role and the last game they might sitting them in that game.

I hope he does that

Nurk doesn't even have half a seasons or a full playbooks worth of games under his belt with Dame and CJ. They need to play.

Oh man that’s an Obi-Wan vs Luke Skywalker matchup

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Thats what im thinking and what i think he will do.

I trust Stotts

Stotts playing Dame 30 minutes in a back to back preseason game is already cutting his minutes by 18 over what Dame wants to play.

 

[Trackjack]

He was suppose that last night and believe Dame got 28. If we are slamming the kings like did the clippers he properly won't get 30 minutes. What seen of the Kings against the Lakers that might be pretty possible.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Oh man that’s an Obi-Wan vs Luke Skywalker matchup

More like Jabba the Hut vs. Boba Fett.

 

[Mr. Robot]

fuck this shit, it wont be interesting

 

[KingSpeed]

fuck this shit, it wont be interesting

Sacramento has "main players"?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go Blazers! Beat these bastards.

Does anyone have a HD stream? I'm using NBA-stream.com, but it's not great.

Are you going to post a picture with ZBo after the game and showoff again?

 

[ripcityboy]

Im just going to pretend the Kings are the Spurs. It will make them easier to hate. I could see a group of baby seals and hate them if I pictured them as Spurs players.

 

[Trackjack]

We need to not play down to the kings level.
