[Game] Preseason Game 1: Kings @ Blazers 12/11/2020 7:30pst,10:30est

[Tetsujin]

Bjeli is leading the team in rebounds. He also unfortunately has more turnovers than points.

 

[DesertFox]

Haliburton missed a very vocal Holmes there.

He looked terrified lol

Getting smoked by 500 year old Melo too. Not the best start.

 

[SLAB]

HG my boy, let’s goooooo!

He looked terrified lol

Looked hella nervous. Understandable. This is what preseason is for.

Yup. Gotta remember there was no summer league this year so this is literally his first time playing NBA competition

 

[Groovygreg]

Giles having a nice game for the Blazers.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

well I can only go by what the guy says . And he seemed like a guy that wanted to stay. The original discussion was did McNair even make an offer. To my knowledge , no he didn’t. Whether Giles would have accepted is another story. Based on his words, I think he would have accepted, but who knows. Whatever it’s a moot point he’s gone

I mean, Cousins wanted to stay, too. That doesn't mean that he would ever go back, even if the team wanted him.

 

[Livinthedream]

Where are the rookies?

 

[SacTownKid]

Haliburton missed a very vocal Holmes there.

Rookie or not he needs to respectably let Holmes know that he ain't Shaq. Get your *** back up top, set the screen, and roll. hahaha.

 

[AaronPDX]

As much as I like Fox, he is not making the case for being a max player tonight. Awful.

 

[KainLear]

Yup. Gotta remember there was no summer league this year so this is literally his first time playing NBA competition

Especially with his glue-guy type of skillset, it's crucial for him to be completely comfortable with all of his teammates and their tendencies in order to shine.

Can't believe I'm still saying this but, he needs a coach that will put him in a position to be him with the spacing he needs before he can ever truly reach his potential. Why, why, why....

 

[SLAB]

Woah woah woah, wait.

Did Jones just call Enes Kanter the anchor of another team’s defense?!

 

[NewArena]

Haliburton has to shoot it at some point

 

[SLAB]

The secret weapon has been unleashed; its Kaminsky time.

 

[Hoovtrain]

i consider those 2 wildly different situations with 2 wildly different people. Either way it’s a moot point, we don’t know if a contract was offered and if so would he have accepted. it’s all a guessing game on our parts

 

[SLAB]

Looks like a svelte PapaG from a distance.

 

[Tetsujin]

Unleash the Tank!

 

[NewArena]

Some of this comes down to conditioning. These guys need more games together and in general

 

[KainLear]

Yeah, I could've argued that he got good position and Ty missed him. But the fact that he ended up getting called for an offensive 3-second call proved that you were right.

 

[Tetsujin]

Haliburton already super solid on team defense.

 

[SLAB]

.... why did CoJo get a multi year many million dollar contract?

the only proven spacers on this team are Bjelica, Buddy, and Barnes and they are already starting with Fox.

 

[SLAB]

Vlade

Yeah... that question could have gone unasked. Lmao

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh God, Luke’s gonna end up playing Frank 20 minutes a night, isn’t he?

 

[The_Jamal]

Haliburton already super solid on team defense.

Haliburton had at least 3 really strong contests at the rim.
