anyway we can actually watch this?
not on altitude and looking at the blazers site it doesn’t appear they are televising it either.
Yeah, I came over here from Blazersedge...
to see if you guys were televising it.
Is it just me or has this been a long offseason?
good luck this season and regardless of whether Nuggets of Blazers end up on top at the end of the season, just spank the lakers when ever the opportunity is there
Well you know..
Our offseason has been about a month shorter than yours. Going deep in the playoffs sure helps make the offseason seem less shitty, or so I’ve learned.
Alanna Rizzo is my dream girl.

games from taiwan and china on tv.......
but no portland? at least altitude is showing sports, kroenke sports none the less.
wtf
balkman DNP along with petro, loony, draper and white
I think Balkman has some kind of groin injury, not sure about Petro.
Loony, White and draper will not make the team so whats the point of wasting minutes?
Whats the point of playing AC for 18 minutes in a preseason game...
…when this is the time to see what the un-guranteed guys have to offer? Isn’t that what preseason is for? We could acctually benefit from a bench player who can score, so now would be a great time to see if White’s scoring prowess in the D-league would translate. I would certainly rather have seen him than AC play for 18+ minutes and do absolutely nothing.
GK
Is an IDIOT Blazers get the mo and does he call time out?
Okay pre-season
22 to 5 run, that’s unacceptable
Goose Egg
If the weak link had scored at least 2 baskets in his 18 minutes of playing we could have got this,
From a Portland fan who attended the game
Yes the refs were really that bad. 68 combined fouls and almost half were bad calls.

GK and AC awesome show, great job!!!!!
Good thing we got to see 10 year veteran Anthony Carter play 19 minutes to get 0 points and 2 turnovers. It’s not liek rookie Ty Lawson could have used more experience, considering he hasn’t played a real NBA game and outproduced AC in 1/3 the playing time. I didn;t watch or listen to this game but Portland probably deserved this win seeing as how they shot less free throws.
No minutes for White either. Good thing the preseason is meaningless because GK is setting this team up for epic failure.
Denver missed a ridiculous number of layups and shorts shots
In the first and second quarters, of course Portland missed a lot of jumpers we would have canned about 70% of the time last year in the third.
Just my view from going to the game, looking forward to our first real game between our teams in two and a half weeks.

Took a closer look at the box score
Ty Lawson played 6 and half minutes, was a +4, got 8 pts/3 reb/1 ast/ 2 stl. Committed no TOs and 2 fouls
AC played 19 minutes (!) was a -12, got 0pts/2reb/2ast/1stl. Commited 2 TOs and 1 foul
What the christ was AC doing in all that time? Watching Jerryd Bayless play?
Love Stinks
GK doesn’t give the other guards any pt because he knows everyone in camp that is a guard can outplay AC.
This guy is overrated on defense and as a player
He got no offer for a big contract because no one in their right minds except for the Nuggets would sign him. He’s a nice guy in the locker room because he such a bad player on the court.
Both GK and AC need to be put out into the pasture
As I’ve said in numerous posts. Ty on his worst day as a rookie is a better player than AC on his best day as a veteran.
Here's my problem
Many of the fellow fans and bloggers I have a lot of respect for have defended AC using that very flawed logic.
I said from the beginning AC should not have been brought back. Obviously, the team would not spend more than the minimum and AC held out for months trying to leverage more money. He received a promise from George Karl himself that if he did resign, his minutes would not be reduced from last season.
Being a good locker room personality is incredibly overrated. The GK-AC relationship is a poisonous one. Anyone who defended resigning despite his poor statistical performance and late-game meltdowns was confused and greatly mistaken.
This is about the worst possible situation for a rookie like Lawson to try to develop in.

My thing is...
if lawson plays bad…he’s gonna AT LEAST equal the output that AC is giving because Ty is that good. Difference is….with Ty, he is just gonna learn from it and get better. At 45…AC is what he is…..garbage.
