The Portland Trail Blazers will look to follow up their dominant season-opener with a win on the road against the Sacramento Kings tonight!
This is your Game Day discussion thread. We open one of these every time the Blazers play. We invite you to join with fellow fans talking about the action live. You can do that in the comments section below or via the new SBNation App. All the conversation goes to the same place, so participate in whatever way seems most natural to you!
Note for long-time readers:
because of the app, we will no longer be splitting Game Day conversation into First Half and Second Half threads. It’s all in one place now. You can stick with this post all evening.
Here’s the basic info you need to watch the game:
Portland Trail Blazers (1-0) at Sacramento Kings (0-1) — Friday, October 23rd — 7:00 p.m. Pacific
How to watch via antenna or cable: See your options on the Rip City Television Network
How to watch via streaming: BlazerVision in Oregon and Washington; League Pass everywhere else
How to listen: Rip City Radio 620AM
Trail Blazers Injuries: Shaedon Sharpe, Branden Carlson, Chris Youngblood (Out).
Kings Injuries: Dylan Cardwell, Maxime Reynaud, Ben Simmons (Out); Malik Monk (Probable).
And our Game Day Thread rules:
- Blazer’s Edge is a non-profanity site. Yes, even though referees and the L*kers exist.
- Stay on topic in Game Day threads. There are tons of comments each evening. Adding off-topic ones here just gets confusing.
- No trolling, please. This includes ad hominem arguments, extreme language about the game or either team, and/or repeated “spammed” comments stating the same point, among other things. Keep conversation respectful and civil. This remains true for all parties if opposing fans visit the thread.
- No offensive language (racist, sexist, etc.) is ever allowed at Blazer’s Edge. Comments attacking or disparaging people for their inherent characteristics may (and probably will) result in immediate ejection from the site.
- Please avoid making comparisons, analogies, etc. to hot-button issues like politics, religion, and the like. We’re here to talk basketball, at least for the duration of the game.
As always, enjoy the game and each other! Go Blazers!
