Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - AUGUST 2, 2020 - SUNDAY, 12:30, ABC & NBCSNW

Rescheduled for when? I highly doubt the game will be rescheduled.

No games are getting rescheduled, the most Orlando is supposed to see is a tropical storm and Orlando hardly ever takes hurricane/tropical storm damage. The last time they needed a concerted cleanup effort after a named storm was Hurricane Charley in 2004. There's a better chance that a tornado becomes a problem as a result of the hurricane but again I'm pretty sure that won't cancel any games unless it touches down on the NBA campus.

The last time

won't cancel any game

It's like you just woke up from a coma and don't know anything about the absolutely weird year we've been having.

Welcome to 2020!

Now please go knock on wood so the Blazers aren't jinxed.

I'm guessing this game will be rescheduled.

Yep, no game tomorrow. Standing room only. There are 20,000 reasons the police will opt for safety and close the slippery freeways to the fans.

Closing lineups change radically due to situational uses. If you are on defense and need Collins with Nurk you do that. If you need small ball you do that. Being flexible is the only way to close out games well. 4th OT insert Hoody! You do what you have to do.

In crunch time you need a guy who's not in foul trouble if possible that can be aggressive in the paint....Nurk is pretty good at playing with fouls but Zach isn't so much...

I’ll just go back to the first line. Closing lineups change radically due to situational uses. There is not usually a set closing lineup. Of course different coaches do different things.

True. That is one good thing about fans not being allowed into the game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Rescheduled for when? I highly doubt the game will be rescheduled.

Not when, where. I'm predicting the hurricane will move the arenas the NBA is using to NY.

Yeah, it's just going to rain all day tomorrow, high winds, but things will be fine. I don't think the games will be cancelled. Only way they will is if power goes out, which is always a possibility with high winds.

 

[Tince]

Lets extend our 144 day win streak!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

It surely is hard to remember what losing is like. It's been so long.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Orlando's on the weak side of a barebones tropical storm. No cancellations coming, and the winds likely won't be high either.

I don't think there will be cancelations either, but with 30-40+ mph winds there is always a chance of power outages.

Very distinct possibility that winds dont even each 30.

Alright man, I live in Orlando. I'll let you know how nasty it gets.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Yeah, it is kind of annoying. I don't have any interest in going to somewhere with a lot of people though. Not trying to risk coming down with any virus.

Thanks, we have a very safe residence.

When you get into a Twitter Beef with Kyle Lowry’s mom.......

 

[kjironman1]

So I decided to watch the pregame with Chad Doing. He isn’t bad. Pretty much tows the company line.
He gave Dwight Jaynes way to much room to run. Jaynes making every excuse in the book for a loss today. You’d think the Celtics were the odds on favorite to win the championship.
They also let Stotts make a few too many excuses early.
I guess Doing is there to just accept what is said?

I stop listening to Dwight long time ago.

Dwight ain’t that bad but he just doesn’t accept that things could be better than what he thinks they can be. I also think he knows this is his last job.

Well, you can be sure I am not going to let anyone make excuses! I will be my usual ornery self today!

Don't think my boss was to enamored with this.

Pierce says Blazers are better than Nuggets and Jazz. Top 4 team in West. Will make playoffs.
