True, but let's be fair. The first one pretty much just landed in his hands.



I sure liked what BIG NASTY put on the court tonight!!!!

Garcia looks good, Bibby looks about 1000 times better... Skinner looking like he did when he first came to the team last season.

I know we're playing the Blazers, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

 

[Krunker]

A few more halves like this last one and Nate McMillan is going to wish he was back in Seattle.

 

[kingsfan916]

Why is Adelman playing the starters so many minutes in pre-season? It occurs to me that it is likely to be difficult to assess what the guys on the end of the bench are capable of if they never get off the bench. It's not like they're ever going to play in the regular season; why not play them right now?

Normally I'd say you're right. But this team has so many new pieces, especially in the starting lineup. The starters need to play with each other a lot this preseason so they can learn to play together.

I think the bench played a good bit during the second quarter.
Maybe he is playing the starters more to help them begin "getting into the groove" for the regular season since it kicks off in a little over a week.

It's raining threes in Portland

 

[HndsmCelt]

yucky 3rd

 

[kingsfan916]

not a good 3rd quarter................

 

[kennadog]

Not pretty at all in that 3rd. Gave life to Portland.

 

[kingsfan916]

yeah hope 4th is better

 

[kingsfan52miller]

wow peja with 6 rebounds

 

[HndsmCelt]

Martin sticking with the play and get the pay off!

 

[kingsfan916]

martin has a nice couple of steals tonight

 

[kingsfan916]

wow peja with 6 rebounds

o wow

 

[kennadog]

There's Martin! Blazers have more assists than the Kings. I've noticed the Kings assist numbers haven't been anything great in some of these games. Hopefully, that just gets better as they learn to play together.

 

[vj9999]

Great pass from SAR to Skinner.

 

[vj9999]

WOW!!!!

Garcia to Martin ... Alley oop!!

 

[HndsmCelt]

Skiner schoolin Jin!

could this be the result of theri playing-style change? or they just need more time to learn each other?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Samson makes an apearance
No Napolian Dynamite

 

[SDKing]

Corliss and Skinner really good games tonight. I hope we see more of this in the regular season. No KT tonight? Interesting.

Kings showing a good bench tonight. I'm excited for this year.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well it's a W, no injuries and the rooks got some PT... Just what you like to see in preseason.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I can't be the only person on this board who thinks that "Napoleon Dynamite" is disrespectful and an insult.

My understanding is that Luke's teammates call him that... and ya have to admit the resemblance is there

 

[piksi]

I predict a high draft pick for the Blazers in the future
