Exactly. This is exactly what was in my head when I posted that.

Collins is a good cherry picker.

Really? I figured you would have a lot of Danny Elfman in your brain going, "All dressed up no where to go...." Dannanananaaanaaanaa.

 

[DUB]

I know. They always seem to have a good performance against us as well. Booker went off last year.

For some reason, I kind of see Booker as CJ's nemesis.

I'm in a Bowie kind of mood.

He's the Joker to CJ's Batman.

 

[theprunetang]

He's the Joker to CJ's Batman.

He's the Bane of CJ's existence.

 

[DUB]

Fulltime
Us - 129
Them - 81

Ast:FGM
Us - 26:43
Them - 11:32

The only neg with this young group is they gave up 15 offense Rebs. But there was whole positive. Collins 17 and 8 and briscoe good job running the club. Layman shot really well and you can go on and on. We did what your suppose to do against weaker team you bury them. Go Blazers!

 

[Darkwebs]

Connaughton, Collins, Layman, and Goodwin all had career games!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Screw the NBA, the Blazers need to play in whatever league Maccabi is in.

Championships Baby!

Man, it took you a long time for you to clean yourself tonight.

 

[Scalma]

Collins shot is so pure. Just think of what he could become once his game and body matures.

 

[ripcityboy]

I am going to make a prediction. Meyers makes himself useful enough for another team to trade with us...... for an equally useless player that is signed for 40 million dollars.

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[ripcityboy]

So we are going with an open roster spot going into the season? Probably a good thing.

 

[rotary111]

Nice progression for the bench guy's. The first preseason game or so I was worried Pat and Jake actually regressed during the off season. The last couple of games they looked like they belong.

 

[theprunetang]

That's kind of bizarre.

 

[Darkwebs]

Spoiler

I have also waved Morrow, Briscoe, and Goodwin.

 

[DUB]

Swanigan - 7 pts @ 66.7%, 1-1 3pt, 5 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl, 1blk, 0 pf, 28:57 min
Nurkic - 13 pts @ 30%, 1-1 3pt, 8 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 0 pf, 12:00 min
Collins - 17 pts @ 66.7%, 3-3 3pt, 8 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 5 pf, 31:03
Leonard - 10 pts @ 100%, 2-2 3pt, 4 reb, 1 ast, 1 blk, 2 pf, 24:00

 

[Trackjack]

I am still hoping we sign Briscoe to 2 way player.

 

[Trackjack]

Maybe Olshey going to use the TPE on a player.

 

[DUB]

Maybe this highlights the quality of the Australian National Basketball League, compared to the Israeli league?

I wonder if any of our European posters can enlighten us?

Further to this, we beat Maccabi Haifa 129-81 with our 3rd string.

At the same time Phoenix beat the Brisbane Bullets 114 - 93 with their regular season starters, and normal rotation players, playing big/normal minutes.

Phoenix won one quarter, Brisbane won two quarters.

The Brisbane Bullets are expected to be a bottom of the ladder team this season in the NBL.

 

[Scalma]

Maybe Olshey going to use the TPE on a player.

It would be Olsheys first move of the offseason lmao.

 

[Trackjack]

Well we see what he going to do pretty quick.

 

[Scalma]

Well we see what he going to do pretty quick.

He's not doing anything. This offseason was literally all about saving Paul some money. Even the draft moves. But it's ok, I understand it. Just wish he would quit with the sell.

 

[Darkwebs]

Well we see what he going to do pretty quick.

Don't ever call Quick pretty.

 

[DreamKillah]

Don't ever call Quick pretty.

Our defense was neither quick nor pretty . . .

 

[GrandJury]

For some reason, I kind of see Booker as CJ's nemesis.

Similar players that’s why

Yeah I would have thought Morrow would have beaten out one of them, but they both stepped up.
