how come no highlight vids from pwe? =(
@Cro I generally don't do preseason unless something crazy happens. I do record all the games though for full highlights later
@Cro None until the reg season according to the chief video maker.
barrett still says scrap every chance he gets
wait does our announcing crew think claver is like a scrub training camp invite?
@christopher_m yup they just insinuated that he is trying to make the roster. makes you wonder if they know something we dont.
@dario argento @christopher_m They don't. They're idiots.
@dario argento @christopher_m Yeah, because who needs a 6'10 3/4 with some bounce who can shoot and knows how to play. We have Babs!
@blazeraddict @TiMB @christopher_m @dario argento I still think Meyers will be fine but starting him against drama queen in LA in his first real game might be a bit much
@TiMB @christopher_m @dario argento My only worry is it could be too much too soon/it could negatively impact him to pull minutes back rather than gradually increase them. Plus, guys are irrational - no matter what the motivation is, being pulled as a starter = a "demotion", and while Meyers seems like a very good guy, he did have some on court maturity issues at Illinois. Of course, he was 18/19, but I'm risk averse on those things.
@blazeraddict @christopher_m @dario argento I'm still tentatively for starting Meyers from day one.
@christopher_m @TiMB @dario argento Agreed. Also why I think Hickson starting at the 5 ahead of Freeland is a waste - Leonard I get bringing along slowly, but let's see what Joel can do with 25 mpg at C and give Meyers 15-20 depending on the situation.
@TiMB @blazeraddict @dario argento i mean he's worth a look for a season and this is certainly the season to do it.
@blazeraddict @dario argento @christopher_m It seems inconceivable that Claver could be worse than Babs. At either position.
@dario argento yeah doesn't he have a 3 year contract?
@dario argento doubt they'd send a 24 year old down to the d-league but its possible + it counts toward the roster spot anyways
@christopher_m think so. maybe they already saw his plans to rent an apartment in Idaho
@christopher_m @dario argento Yup
@christopher_m I always assume they're uninformed and/or being told to condition expectations one way or another.
hahahah
I love this Claver.
babs is soooo upset he didnt get to bring the fans chalupas
CLAVER!!
I am dangerously close to being bullish on Victor Claver. If they send him to fucking Boise so I can watch Babs and Pavlovic I'll lose my shit
Claver!
how did babbitt do that without chalupas on the line
nolan is so clutch
Victoooooooooor!
Claver!
Karl looking better than Smith this game
@dario argento His defence is decidedly poopy though. I think it should be noted than the Rockets and Sixers picked up undrafted free agent PGs who are better than all of our options behind Lillard.
@TiMB @dario argento we should've got Machado.
@MattBRC @dario argento I wish we had. We desperately needed passing and he's good at it.
@dario argento #lowbar
@Dan_tm shut up
@TiMB @dario argento Flagged.
@Dan_tm @dario argento Be consistent Dan. Babs is worse.
@dario argento It's not my fault Nolan is terrible.
Now the fun starts, how are the blazers going to pull off this loss
@brandonmitchell trade for steve blake
@brandonmitchell We've seen this before!
@brandonmitchell put the starters back in!!!!
I don't know how we won this game without Lillard.
babbitt is now purely garbage time even in preseason?
@christopher_m A good change. He doesn't deserve any of the PF minutes over LA/Freeland or the SF minutes over Batum/Claver/Ammo/whoever
@TiMB @christopher_m Just so you know, I'm going to take your new attitude toward Babs personally.
@Dan_tm @christopher_m Then how come Babs is the one who's translucent?
@TiMB @christopher_m It isn't Babs' fault EWill is made of glass.
@Dan_tm @christopher_m He ruined my boy's achilles, I will celebrate the day he's playing in a lonely corner of Eastern Europe.
hahaha clearly a travel
