Game Thread Preseason Game #5 Blazers @ Suns October 11,2017

[rotary111]

I like Briscoe's size, determination and ability to get to the hoop. Bazz is a decent back up for sure, but again he is small. I hope we give Briscoe a shot this season. Defensively he could hold his own against bigger competition.

Hold up @HCP I'mma let you finish....

BUT DARKWEBS HAS THE BEST GAME THREADS OF ALL TIME!!!

 

[Scalma]

Yes. Give Briscoe a real run. Same with Morrow. They're fighting for one spot. Give em a real chance to earn it. Is Goodwin out of it? Might as well play him as well. I remember Quarterman barely played last year and still made the team.

 

[dviss1]

Wait, no TV broadcast???? Ugh...

 

[santeesioux]

Anyone else think Len’s head is way too small for his body? He kinda looks like this out there:

It's still bizarre to me what they did to the Koopas in that movie.

 

[Eastoff]

Thought since you all want me to start taking over for the DarkWingDuck, I better step my creative juices up a bit. Adding graphics and special insider media quotes is no easy task.

I have to ask, aren't you too old to know about dark wing duck?

 

[dviss1]

Dennis hopper is Bowser????? WTF????

 

[Darkwebs]

Who let this guy make the game thread ? He didn't even put the game thread tag !

Good catch, Sleepwalker. I have added the game thread tag to this thread.

 

[THE HCP]

@HCP - you know I love ya, but the new / merged thread is better. If it was not for that - I would not know that Josh Jackson is such a professional that he plays in a suit. That's why you are still an intern at the thread starting business!

You sir are obviously in the minority. My threads are top notch!

Bazz' size has not hurt him so far defensively though. He is quick and works on D.

Briscoe certainly has potential to be a good defender, but until we see it, his size means nothing. But I do want to keep him and develop him. But Napier can shoot and play D.

 

[THE HCP]

My little sister and brother were born when I was in 6th /7th grade. Got to watch all their generations cartoon as well as mine.

Thanks for handling that for me. I'd wager to say Bazz is the 2nd or 3rd best OTBD on the team.

Well then, let's get dangerous!

I was about to say, like Mike Gundy

and I remember the Disney Afternoon. Especially the old school one, where Gummi Bears came on before DuckTales.

Agreed, I like Bazz. Just sayin we could use a little more size on the roster at that position. Briscoe has some bulk to him. I'd be happy if they we're both on the roster. I would rather see true PG's run the second unit than ET or CJ. Just my opinion.

 

[THE HCP]

God I'm praying Jinx starts a game thread!

 

[THE HCP]

On a serious tip, merge these Sly. I want people to see all the work DarkWing puts in on those original posts.

 

[kjironman1]

God I'm praying Jinx starts a game thread!

I think this one is still in your name. He just might?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Let Leonard play fuck it.

Take it easy.........

 

[Mr. Robot]

we should give more minutes to our starters too, then rest them against Maccabi
SAC fucked up, so this would be a good chance for what Stotts wanted against SAC, minus Nurk

Inconvenient for you, no doubt, but I'm happy he ended up doing what we were all hoping he would do--giving Collins the starting nod he's earned.

I concur, but I am getting tired of updating my original post. Lol

You could just say " Pick Em" for this game. I mean does it really matter much?

HCP has standards. Now where did i put that gif....? I know i had it here somewhere?

 

[Scalma]

Zach Collins with the start, awesome that we won't be able to see it!

Not even joking, why don't teams broadcast the Jumbotron feed or something for preseason games on Facebook like they do fanfest?

 

[BrunoSOC]

It Will have a link to see on YouTube ? we have to see
