Game Thread 2017 SUMMER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: BLAZERS VS LAKERS - JULY 17, 2017 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM PDT, ESPN

That was some of the best news I heard recently (big man camp). I wonder if others are going too (Biggie, Vonleh, Biebs)

Tim Grgrich hosts. Biggie is also going. Don't know about Biebs or Vonleh.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is that anything to brag about?

 

[riverman]

I suspect that after he meets Biggie they will automagically morph into the following:

or...these

 

[0-Our!]

dude no

Relax, I'm not serious

 

[BBert]

I think Ball will play. Get ready for the star treatment. SL refs need the practice

Terry was talking about it during one of the games, and how it is more improtant it is than the summer league games. Being healthy for TG's camp was paramount. I think he named 3 blazers who were going (not sure) Caleb, Zach, and I though he said Layman. Maybe it was Nurk. Just can't remember.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Those Blazers media guys are at it again!

 

[Trackjack]

Magic already said he wants to win this title so expect Ingram to play too. Magic knows it might be only champion he gets as a leader of franchise. But win or loose tonight you got give the Blazers credit they never have up. Truthful I thought they be home by now.

Lonzo officially out.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Lonzo officially out.

They know they are going to lose and want an excuse.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lonzo officially out.

He's not playing so he will be named SL MVP. If he had played and played poorly it would have gone to Swanigan.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Wow. Yeah, I think you nailed that one. Pretty pathetic, but I could see that easily happening....

Hoping Swanigan goes nuts and puts up 25 points and 18 rebounds and gets the MVP.
He's played every game, Ball has missed at least two games.

ESPN will not allow that to happen.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wondering why some care?

Kind of depends if their new team wants to pay for it.

Good news: we have a top five player!
Bad news: it's Markel Brown.

Confirms what my eyes told me: Dante Exum has got his shit together finally.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wondering why some care?

Because we like you. A lot!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Because we like you. A lot!

We all know that's not true

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We all know that's not true

The next time you come to Portland we will throw you a party and buy you many beers.

And we'll even let you go twice with Mrs HCP.

I hope you're joking. I think Magic is kind of content with his 5 rings, and won't risk Ingram if there's any chance of exacerbating injury.

But it's fun that we can actually care about this meaningless game. Winning is always nice, particularly when you're not used to it...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ball out? What will Swanigans elbows do?

Only twice? Is she feeling ok?

Aww you voted for Clinton, you must be used to losing.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Wondering why some care?

Because they are fans. You should try it sometime.

Magic would be better than any pg we have on our summer league team.

I did when I voiced skight concern about our lottery pick. I was told I was overreacting because it's summer league

I think we can give him more than 10 minutes with Mrs. HCP
