Im way excited for tonight's Jazz game

[Gameface]

The clock has struck midnight on the fairytale of Bryce Cotton.

And Craig K. Manscill

Do you think they even let Graham on the plane back to Utah?

Withey makes the team - pretty much a no-brainer. As far as the rest of the "closers" yesterday I'm thinking "none of the above" as the best choice.

Here in Portland, I'm sure Blazers fans are stoked about how they came back in the 4th quarter to win.

Even the uber-homer color commentator for Portland Mike Rice acknowledged (twice) during the comeback that The Blazer starters were playing against Utah's 3rd-stringers.

I liked Cotton last year but tonight he was horrible.

We liked Cotton last year because his name wasn't Trey Burke and he did all the things that we wished Dante Exum would do - play aggressive on offense, take it to the hole, get to FT line more than once a month.

Without that contrast he's just another D-Leaguer looking for a spot.

Terrific defense by Burks, didn't think he fouled.

This. Bs call

I have to admit these NBATV announcers are kinda good. Are they portland's?

I liked them too

Me watching Tibor Pliess shoot 3s

Lol

Snyder has to be trolling the Blazers at this point. You can't make a worse lineup.

Yep. Won't see a worse line up the rest of the season

 

[fishonjazz]

Johnson or Millsap is a very close call. What do you guys think about who has earned himself more playing time?

Millsap

I liked them too

Rice was super obnoxious during the Jailblazer period circa 1999-2002 - he's seems to have mellowed out a little bit.

Millsap

I'm inclined to go with Millsap too because he's already proven he can guard some starting 3/4's in the league and I think he realizes he's not a good shooter. Johnson fancies himself as some sort of corner 3 specialist and quite frankly I don't see it - I can see him and Burke coming off the bench and bricking away some early leads.

Johnson will be one of the last two guys on the squad. Only court time he will see is garbage time. He won't be bricking away anything.

Burke however could be a problem. I see games like tonight and they give me hope. But then I remmeber last preseason. SO I just can't bring myself to buy into him. Not yet.
