Utah is playing really good foul line defense.

Winning

Anyone seen Dee Bost? I hitched my over/under wagon to his star.

That was a trick question. Bost stayed behind in Idaho.

 

[-Ace-]

He just doesn't look good at all. I don't know what it is, but he just isn't an impact at all. He looks slow.

We'll see how he is after the season gets going. We'll know by then if he was just pacing himself during preseason to get back to game speed or if something's up.

 

[Carlito]

Anyone notice that every center that has faced Lopez has killed him??

And the fact basically the worst team in the west are shutting down the blazers? I mean this is jazz and suns we have faced. That's not troubling?

 

[Natebishop3]

He seems disinterested. Maybe he doesn't want to be in Portland anymore?

Man, I don't know, it's so unlike Wes to play like this.

Damn it, who turned over Mixum's rock?

Really? That's not fair! I can't see shit or read anything! I'll sue!!

Yes, early workouts with the Stampede.

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman Jazz ended 1st half with 17-4 run, #Blazers are shooting 38% and have committed 10 turnovers.

 

[Carlito]

Sorry I should have said the jazz are playing great foul line defense!

And that explains Lopez horrific play so far??

Or that most the damage against the bigs made was against t rob and Leonard

 

[Blazer4ever]

I'm very happy with Lopez, I think he's a great addition that'll change this team, a defender like him at Center is exactly what we didn't have last year.
Leonard is frustrating, it takes him 3 minutes before he gets used to being on the court, Freeland and Claver on the other hand look better, like they feel more comfortable on the floor. Robinson is a problem, right now he seems to only be grabbing rebounds and not much else...
Mo and Lillard seemed to have gotten more used to playing together after a few minutes, their cooperation, as well as with McCollum when he's back, is key to our success this year. Aldridge was money from almost every range offensively, he is one of the best offensive big men in the league, no doubt, and our ability to now put him between great team defenders in Lopez and Batum will be an amazing upgrade to our starting five.

After my first 2:00 look at Wright . . . I like him.

 

[Natebishop3]

After my first 2:00 look at Wright . . . I like him. He knows how to play

3 steals so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

We can't shoot tonight. 3's, FTs, you name it.

 

[VenomXL]

Kanter is embarrassing our bigs.

 

[Natebishop3]

I keep waiting for Aldridge to start getting superstar calls...... but he never does.

 

[Natebishop3]

Props to Lopez for trying on that one. Apparently the Jazz bigs get more calls than ours do.

 

[magnifier661]

Lopez with a block!

 

[VenomXL]

Nice take by RoLo.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

3 steals so far.

Looks like he can handle the ball too

 

[magnifier661]

It's sooooo bullshit.

 

[VenomXL]

Zero shooting tonight.

 

[VenomXL]

Another Wright steal.

 

[magnifier661]

Another Wright steal.

I'm really liking wright

 

[VenomXL]

Whistle city for the Jazz.

 

[magnifier661]

Wtf?! Offensive foul?

 

[VenomXL]

Good grief.
