Preseason Game 2 Open Thread: Warriors vs. Blazers

Can't wait!

I’ll be just landing in enemy territory (SF) when the game wraps up.
Hopefully someone will have the score in the terminal.

I hope both teams play hard

Nate said the unsigned guys will get more playing time today. This game should be a lot different from last night.

Tatum can dance - but can he play?

I would also like to see a little more Batum, since we won’t see him much beyond the pre-season :)
And of course more Rudy Rudy Rudy (and probably less Roy and Oden).

I think Mike B. said Roy won't play today

That’s big time. I’m more interested in seeing if the guys who were good last night are good tonight.

tom's mom said Brandon and Greg will play

and I want to see if Rudy can continue to be the “human highlight reel” for real

I heard that at first, but Brandon says he plans to play.

We’ll have to wait and see though. We know and love Brandon, I want more Rudy tonight!

i'm a fan of both teams

do you think there will be any postgame clips/highlights available on youtube?? a digression, rudy’s assists were pretty glorious last night; he’s a really offensively versatile guy

or rather,

if the game is streaming free online at a given moement

by steelekord on Oct 8, 2008 10:39 AM PDT 0 recs

free streaming tv

i’ve had pretty good luck with channelsurfing.net and justin.tv.

channelsurfing tends to have tons of sports (and non-US sports), though i doubt an nba preseason game will be on there.

justin.tv is a lot more hit and miss, but last night i was able to find at least the l*kers / jazz preseason game (seeing the l*kers lose is better than nothing).

anybody have any other ideas?

I checked channelsurfing.net but all they had was audio

for the game and that wasn’t working. Good thing I’m in the Sacramento broadcast region… How did you find video of the game on channelsurfing.net?

Yeah, I think tonight will be a good game

But not nearly as crazy as last night. Who knows though?

When asked about his thoughts during the Olympic games about playing against Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Rudy responded "My first thought was respect. My second thought was to kick their ass".

Man I love him.

I'm so hyped right now it's redonkulous.

When Oden gets into shape, bayless settles down, LMA finds his stroke and Tell starts canning the 3 ball I just don’t know what you do? I think only top tier teams scare me that much because we can have 3 to 4 of our best players have off nights and still have the firepower to compete with all but tier 1 teams. I’m just stunned by what I saw last night. Alot of what stunned me was our bench. I almost didn’t notice Roy’s play (it was superb) or Aldridge it was all about our new guys. Simply can’t wait for tonight and then my next live game on Sunday. Someone get KP a medal!

Blazer Mania

When I woke up this morning, and looked outside, I knew the season I love so much had finally arrived. Its aroma fills the streets, and its palpable on your tongue.

Contagious smiles, people offering grace, a lot of humming and whistling.

The Blazers season is back, and with it an epidemic of mania for the Blazers.

Will we lose even once in Portland this year? Not if I (and you!) can help it.

The order of the seasons are now officially Summer, Blazers pre-season, Blazers regular season, Blazers post-season.

Not if I can help it we won't loose at home

but oy, I’m getting old for this, I mean, I told my roomie we’d drink if we won, we smashed, so, we had to get smashed

Fanposts/shots take longer ot load if disable cookies and liomit page caching. It is a personal choice on my part as I do not prefer to have web sites leaving permanent files on my computer or logging of my web-browsing experience. I can allow it then evertything goes quickly as it is pre-cached on my hard disk. This approach has served my web-security well in my Windows based PC.

But all of that aside, my comment is really good-god folks 1350 comments over a pre-season game. Somebody call Guinness (World records, not the beer). KP has lit a fire under the fan base which should be the envy of all sports teams. We should garner 5000 posts by opening night at this rate.

New from Bend

Hey all I’m new here but have been a Blazer fan for 30 plus years….even when they were losing. Many years ago I played in a state-wide Blazers 3 on 3 tournement and made it to the finals in Memorial Coliseum. I got to meet my favorite Blazer of all time there…Bill Schonely. Great fun! So needless to say I’m not only a Blazer fan, but a fan of the game.

Only recieving 13 games on the tube over here this year so you all know my FRUSTRATION with Comcast and that whole fiasco. AAAAAARRRGGGGG!

So I’ll be hoping to find on line broadcasts for the games. I’ve already seen that you all have some links to check out. Thanks for sharing those.

Here’s to an awesome season and the hope of finding some games to watch over here in the high desert.

I think it’s time that Wheels brings “Rip City” to his play-by-plays this year. After all, it’s bigger than the Shonz…it’s Portland.

Go Blazers!

hi there!

I’m new here, been reading you for quite a long time, I’ve actually been rooting for GS for the last seasons, not that I really cared about the team but the name is similar to a funny word in spanish hehe, so, I think I’m gonna root for the blazers this season, not because 2 spaniards play here, but you guys are just too funny to read to let it pass, i’m in if you don’t mind ^^, will be watching as many games as I can, and for the rest of them I shall trust your comments hehehe

I don’t know what you mean about funny, though. We Scots never have a sense of humor.

Warriors is similar to a funny word in Spanish? What’s the word? Not speaking Spanish, I’m not sure.

Is this where we learn a new language by starting with the cuss words?

by lukeyhere on Oct 8, 2008 2:23 PM PDT up 0 recs

translation...or whatever

well it’s actually not that funny, in fact it’s kinda embarrasing admitting I once found it funny, but I was a kid back then you know, and once you start supporting a team when you are a kid it’s hard to stop hehe.

Ok, a spanish-speaking person would read Warriors “guarriors”, and it’s pronounced almost exactly as guarros. Guarro (s for plural as in english) means mucky, dirty, someone who doesn’t wash or take a shower, someone who smells bad…well, I don’t know the EXACT word, but I’m sure you get the point…as said it’s not really funny, bit hey, we were all kids once right?

I got a bad feeling about non-local TV watchers

I got DirecTV as well, and I cannot find it listed anywhere… and I ALWAYS find it listed somewhere. Does KGW, when broadcasting alone, not get their feed picked up by NBA League Pass? That’s a load of aardvark poop!

I’m gonna check out GSOM and see how them all are gonna watch it. If I gotta sit in front of my teenie tiny Bayless’s-wingspan-sized laptop, so be it, but I’d feel a lot better if I could watch it on TV.

WHAT IS NBA LEAGUE PASS FOR IF I CANNOT WATCH MY DAMN STORIES.

I’m gonna go look into this some more, because it is rudyculous to not be able too watch the game WHEN IT IS BEING TELEVISED WITH ACTUAL CAMERAS AND ANNOUNCERS AND ELECTRICITY AND SUCH.

DirecTV signed me up automatically for League Pass
last year, then COINCAST expanded the BLACKOUT range to
all of OREGON. DTV said they couldn’t cancel my League Pass.
My response, “I’d like to see you collect the other $ 100.00”.
DTV -" Allright sir, but we can’t refund the $ 50.00 deposit"
“Well then, I guess you can cancel my TV and I’ll mail your
reciever back in a hundred pieces !”
They cancelled my service, but wouldn’t refund the $ 50.00.

Probably just a tweak.

With Roy out and Bayless prolly getting big minutes, he’d probably play even if they gotta cut his foot off.

Hmmm… GSOM has no recent posts about pre-season stuff, I got no clue what they’re gonna do to watch the stupid game.

For those interested in watching the Celtics pre-season against Philly over the Internet (DARIUS)

You have to download a software, but it’s developed by a team of former Stanford students so I guess it’s safe (or at least not less safe than downloading some Chinese software). And it’s available for Windows, Mac,… The quality kicks Justin.tv, and there is a channel right now showing NBA TV.
