Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 5: KINGS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 12, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

It's interesting what a different opponent will do to how the team looks. Against Phoenix, they looked really good. Against the Kings tonight, they look like a 35 win team.

Huh. I think we look great. Everyone contributing. Great shooting.

 

[julius]

Each of those "Blazer Outsider" commercials feels like we're being punished for something we did.

 

[hoopsjock]

I know he hasn't shot well in his brief career but that last move by Zach is another example of his potential. A big who can get the ball on the perimeter and create his own shot is very useful.

 

[James lamphear]

Collins looks confident out there in 2nd half and very aggressive too.

 

[julius]

Collins is reminding us why we should be patient.

Meyers is remind us that we've been patient, and it's about fucking time....

 

[julius]

did Nurk play at all in the 2nd half?

 

[hoopsjock]

What other NBA player could go 6-6 including 3 3-pointers and passes up an open look? Why the fuck does his brain hesitate?

 

[BonesJones]

Zach getting battered.

It's an interesting question. Anti-CJ Sydrome.

No

 

[BonesJones]

Collins needs to work on his hands. He drops a lot of passes.

 

[julius]

No

Didn't think so.

 

[Jade Falcon]

SIGH.

 

[julius]

damn, that is a HUGE bow-tie that Stotts is sportin'

 

[hoopsjock]

It's an interesting question. Anti-CJ Sydrome.

Just about anyone who's ever played basketball would let it fly in that situation. When he saw the pass coming he should've been ready and already have decided in his mind that he was going to shoot it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes Meyers!!! 13 point 4th qtr.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a night for Meyers! Even his blown dunk goes in.

 

[BonesJones]

Lol Meyers

 

[rotary111]

His trade value is at an all time high!!

 

[BonesJones]

I guess the clapper sticks are red this year. More change for the sake of change... Lol.

 

[James lamphear]

That was good foul by sauce.

 

[BonesJones]

No shit Calabro... Haha.

"Kings might employ the same fouling strategy"... When they're down 1 with 7 seconds left. Haha.

 

[Rozay]

So they replaced Jordan Kent and Holton for these Blazer outsider guys?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That was good foul by sauce.

Maybe with three or less seconds.

 

[BonesJones]

Wade's gonna miss one guaranteed.

 

[BonesJones]

So they replaced Jordan Kent and Holton for these Blazer outsider guys?

I'm hoping it's just a pre-season thing.

 

[BonesJones]

Wade's gonna miss one guaranteed.

I'm fairly certain it's not. Which sucks because while Holton and Jordan Kent weren't exactly a great combo, but they're significantly better than the Blazer outsiders.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Just giving you mierda.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Bottom Line, we need to play defense and get stops if we want to make the next step. We're a very good offensive team but if we can't get stops we'd just be trading baskets
