[Game] Kings @ Trail Blazers (3/7) - 7PT/10ET

[SLAB]

Yes there’s a game tonight. Seems the bad loss to a depleted Sixers roster really slowed this place down. Bad losses happen to everyone. It’s how they respond.

Gonna be interesting to see how the center minutes shake out. Richaun should be helpful, but also a lot of the winning streak’s credit needs to go to Giles better play + ability to spark the guys and Len turning into the best defender in basketball. Hopefully no wrench gets thrown in the chemistry and what they’ve been building towards.

Go team.

Wait, since Paul Allen's unfortunately passed, who actually owns the Blazers?

 

[Sluggah]

Wow, had no idea Holmes was back

The ever-reliable Wikipedia says “The estate of Paul Allen” which redirects to his sister Jody Allen.

 

[SLAB]

Y’all know Ariza will go like 8/8 from three tonight. Lol

 

[Sluggah]

Oh yeah. Ariza.

CJ looks like Morris Day (from “Morris Day and The Time”).

Sorry, had a fantasy baseball draft in a long-term keeper league, had to prioritize.

Bogi is better than Fox at "running" the team, it's just that physically he isn't capable all the time. Tonight he has a good matchup.

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from Harry shading off of Hassan too much, the Blazers offense thus far seems to consist of just throwing the ball in the general vicinity of the hoop

 

[thingfish]

I like aggressive Nemanja. I like a hot start! GO KINGS!!!

 

[chief bromden]

Kings look focused, what a sweet sight

 

[SLAB]

Giles is such a handsy defender. Once he realizes/learns where to actually be he’s going to be a threat.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And Holmes is in!

 

[chief bromden]

Oh Henry!

 

[chief bromden]

Baaaaaaaze

 

[Tetsujin]

Are these the Blazers or Atlanta Hawks?

 

[Sluggah]

Damn. Please keep this up.

 

[thingfish]

Kings on FIRE!!

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't know if Portland is simply coming out flat or they have no respect for the Kings coming in. Either way, good to see the Kings making them pay for it.

Bogdan has 7 assists already. Kings shooting 60% from the field. 75% behind the line

 

[KingKong]

Nice start. Keep the intensity going boys!

 

[jiimbob]

I like it so far, all our starters contributing. Portland played and lost yesterday so maybe tired?

 

[kingdivac]

Kings Blitzkreig to start!

 

[chief bromden]

Blazers suffering from Hassanwhitesitis this season

 

[jcwkings]

I like Bogi touching the ball more, it takes advantage of his strengths, he has been doing far too much catch and shoot of late.

 

[Amiga]

I like the pace were playing at and taking advantage of Portland playing last night.

 

[SLAB]

I don't know if Portland is simply coming out flat or they have no respect for the Kings coming in. Either way, good to see the Kings making them pay for it.

Grant talked about how the Blazers all played big minutes last night. A bit winded maybe?

 

[kingdivac]

Walton and Co obviously communicating the importance of this game - well done.

 

[chief bromden]

I see you FIBA bogi!
