[James lamphear]

Zach double double 15/10 ML 17/9 nice game for both of these big men. We had 21 fast break 28 assist. CJ and Sauce had good offense game too.

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

Who gives a shit what color the Clapper sticks are? More complaining for the sake of complaining.... lol.






I'm just giving you shit.

 

[Scalma]

Meyers can be all yours, Thibs.

 

[julius]

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.

actually, i think you're right @BonesJones

Anchoring Trail Blazers broadcasts on NBCSNW for their third season together will be the trio of veteran play-by-play voice Kevin Calabro, analyst Lamar Hurd and courtside reporter Brooke Olzendam. Wraparound programming for Trail Blazers television will again feature host Jordan Kent along with former Trail Blazers player Michael Holton. Kent will helm the Toyota Pregame Show, McDonald’s Halftime Show and the Postgame Show alongside Holton.

 

[Scalma]

Blazers outsiders can eat shit how bout dah

 

[TBpup]

Meyers can be all yours, Thibs.

Meyers and his self proclaimed flame balls. WTH?

 

[James lamphear]

Maybe with three or less seconds.

We are up 3 by fouling that prevented the 3 ball for the tie. Also prevents fouling 3 point shooter.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Leonard is so comfortable on offense. Aside from his shooting I just feel comfortable when he receives a pass. He has a high bb IQ on that one side of the ball. He also looks decent on the boards.

Bottom line is he looks good as a 3rd string center.

 

[BonesJones]

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

Our defense was better than our offense last year but please, keep enlightening us.

Joking about complaining about complaining as a joke. I see how it is.

Duuude. Chill. Or @theprunetang will put u on the shelf.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Meyers and his self proclaimed flame balls. WTH?

He tries so hard to be cool/popular/liked. Too hard.

Just play like you did tonight and you will be a cult hero, a real one anointed by the fans, not self-proclaimed.

BNM

Agreed. The one and only time I will ever compare Meyers Leonard to Kobe "I want to be called the Black Mamba" Bryant.

 

[BlayZa]

They're also biodegrade.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I saw @KingSpeed at the game tonight! Always a pleasure.

 

[Eastoff]

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

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...

I don't doubt this

So pre-season comes to an end. They now have some game film to work with and 5 full days to work on things. They will make decisions on who will be in a Blazer uniform/Two way deals and who will be gone.
We pretty much watched what we all expected through the games played. We watched them lose two games to good teams and win against sub par teams. I just don't put much stock into playing two of the very worst teams in the western conference during pre-season to get good looks at what the team can do. GS played the Lakers twice and Houston played San Antonio, Indiana and Memphis a couple times. The Thunder played Detroit, Minny, Atlanta and Milwaukie. You get my point here. The Blazers did not come up against great talent in the pre-season. They will start the season on a three game home stand against the Lakers, San Antonio and Washington. The Wizards will be on their first road game and will be tough as usual looking at GS after Portland.

Not sure i am real comfortable going into this season. Huge holes are very easy to see in this team and i still don't see any replacement for Davis. Layman does indeed seem to be making strides and they will need him for sure. But Harkless is still out. Last night KC actually said Moe Harkless was still not comfortable playing on "HIS KNEE". I'm interested in this whole thing because we have been told it is in fact his ankle. If Moe is out because of his knee then you might as well expect him to miss large amounts of the season. We have all seen this before.

I learned very little I didn't already know from watching this pre-season. Pretty much hold the exact same position i had before any games were played. This is a 42-44 win team that will maybe make the playoffs if they don't come up against any major injuries. If they are an 8th seed they are looking at another sweep at the hands of the Warriors and we can all just expect another long summer next year.

So wait, Collins had a fantastic game at the 4......who would a thunk it?

I hope they keep him at the 4, as I think he's better suited for that.

It's the Kings. Meyers had an even better game. If he's not for real, neither is Zach.

You know my stance.

Just thinking as good as he will or won't be, Zach should play the 4

***OFF TOPIC***: You should read the book from where the Rolling Stones got the idea for that song. The Master and Margarita by one Mikhail Bulgakov. The first 25 or so pages might be the best 25 pages of any book I've ever read.

 

[Blazers Roy]

When the game and Meyers interview ended i was expecting the video to transition abruptly into Meyers in his bed waking up from a dream and then crying.
