Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Kings

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News

This is the last Friday Night game of the year!  Man, the season has flown by.  Do you think we can take the Kings and bring ourselves within one game of finishing at .500?  Or will this be a colossal flop provoking streams of angry comments before our posters drown themselves in Henry's and Paul deLay?

Register all of your pre-, in-, and post-game comments here.  For those of you rooting for Hosses we'll try to get their predictions up about an hour before the game.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

Don't forget to check out the everlastingly insightful SactownRoyalty for the Kings' point of view.

Young man!
You just stayed up past your bed time to see what would happen on this thread.

Tomorrow, you'll have to go to bed early.

Want a winning season?
Have to get this one.  Simply have to.

Want a .500 season?  Probably need this one.

Want the Kings to say they were as good as us, and we just got a couple more breaks this year?  Lose this one.

I prefer the win.

I'm frequently right, but always certain

4 games left
2 against non-playoff sub .500 teams, and 2 against playoff over .500 teams. With our current 39-39 record, we need 2 wins out of 4 to get that .500 season, and 3 wins out of 4 to make it a winning season.

Tonight @ sac is a must win if we want to have a winning season, and is a "really really want to win" if we want a .500 season.

Tomorrow @ home against Dallas, is a Must win if we want a winning season, and will also be a must win if we lose to Sac but still want a .500 season.

Then Memphis at home is a must win no matter what.

Finally we end @ phx, which will prolly be a loss.

I predict we end up 42-40! Going 3-1 in our final 4 games!

lol ya I am a Blazer fan, can't ya tell?

Sorry, you are wrong
Finally we end @ phx, which will prolly be a WIN, because phx will want to rest and we´ll want to win.

by amlmart1 on Apr 11, 2008 10:07 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

sorry but YOU'RE wrong...
PHX won't be able to rest, as they need homecourt to win in the playoffs.

Sorry or not sorry, I was wrong
But we´ll win anyway, I hope. ;-)

14th!
Look for Channing and LaMarcus to have big games again. Roy will reach double digit assists, but no higher than 14 points. Blazers win with a closer score than the game indicates.

Can we win?
Yes... I dare say I think and believe we can.

On this, all depends.

I hope Artest sits out.  He is mean to us :-(  Why does he have to be so big and strong and good at basketball?  There are lots of other things one can take pride in being skilled at; knitting for one, taxidermy for another.  Why basketball?  He needs to take up a hobby or at least take the night off to reflect on how much he has killed us the last few games.  Basketball isn't everything, Mr. Artest.  Go be good at other things and leave basketball to those who aren't as big and strong and skilled as you.  You owe your country to commit yourself elsewhere!  For at least tonight!

Don't the Kings want more ping pong balls?!  How silly they are, they should want to lose!  WE'RE the ones trying for a winning culture, if they try to win they are just apeing our schtick.  Real original, Sacramento, but we thought of winning the game looooong before you did.  You're just the Salem, OR of California!  Sorry, that was mean :-(  It's just that winning means a lot to us and is important to the franchise and the Blazer fanbase, and we'd really appreciate it if you'd not insist on trying to win as well.  Because we thought of it first and fair is fair and we BOTH can't win you silly heads.  Geesh you're silly.

Let's get this one!  Gooooo LMA!  Gooooo Roy-Bot!  Booooo Spencer Hawes!  Refs, call Mikki Moore on his flopping!  Ignore the fake dreds, it just makes him look like he was shot when barely touched.  

YAY BLAZERS!

For all those that watch the games online
Raptorsnation is dead it looks like.
Channelsurfing will not show any games with video.

I think this site gives out links for the games, be on at game time and send a request.
http://www.stoogetv.com/player.html
This site works the same way,
http://p2ptv.createmybb.com/index.php

Although you need to register to see the chatbox.
If that doesn't work out there is sopcast on www.myp2p.eu. Go to the live sports section.

Hey while you bring it up...
Is there a good way to see a game later if you miss the live showing?

by Timmay! on Apr 11, 2008 4:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah
The best and easiest way is through bit torrent, although they don't always have Blazers games up the day after.
I use this program
http://www.utorrent.com/

The best basketball torrent sites I've found are
www.sportbit.org
and
http://bt.davka.info/

There are a few others. If you want to use Sportbit you need to be registered, and registration closes in a few days(weeks?).

If you've never used bit torrent. Basically you click on the link and you download a small portion of the overall file, then you choose where you are going to save the file. Then wait for the file to finish downloading. The speeds can vary, but on these 2 sites I get speeds of about 1-2mbps download. It's very simple, basically a 2 click process.

The other way is to get links from http://www.myp2pforum.eu/nba-basketball/17177-temp-links-nba-lp-archived-games-merged-215.html

That page they used to give out archive links but recently they haven't.

IF you have any questions about email me at dheepan.ramanan@gmail.com

According to Dave's preview that's Artest
