Game Thread 2022 NBA SUMMER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP - BLAZERS VS KNICKS - JULY 17, 2022 - 12:00 PM (PDT) ESPN

[RonBrewer]

If our Regulars buy in and plays this hard defensively, we are gonna turn some heads.

 

[Pinwheel1]

This SL has been worth watching. I said before it started that if Watford could show an improved 3pt shot he could be our version of Grant Williams.
I have seen enough. He is a rotation player. Between him and Walker, our depth at PF is much improved.

 

[inconceivable]

Might want to try to get the ball to Jabari Walker. Just a thought.

He impacts the game as the 5th option

Challenge that.

I seemed to have missed that quote by Dame regarding Billups deserving that level of success as a coach here.

Sounds legit

 

[PDXFonz]

NY puts Melo in for the last minute and we lose

Merge this to the Melo thread

NY puts Melo in for the last minute and we lose

We would shut down Melo.

 

[riverman]

This score is like a Chauncey era Pistons vs John Starks Knicks score back in the day

 

[PDXFonz]

Rigged, here come the SL refs on the books

 

[Natebishop3]

Trying to choke this away at the end.

 

[HailBlazers]

Challenge that.

Should have. Walker have three blocks.

 

[Idog1976]

Guys, I think we have a decent Forward rotation. Grant, Little, Hart, Sharpe, Watford, Walker. Watford and Walker are revelations.

 

[Natebishop3]

They're letting the Knicks slap the shit out of our guys every time.

 

[blazerfan11]

I hope Billups can finally teach our team how to beat traps.
We've always been horrible at capitalizing on defensive pressure and getting easy buckets.

 

[Natebishop3]

Big foul shots by Williams.

Definitely need a good backup center though.

Dude if we play like the Chauncey era pistons with our Roster then Color me exuberant

 

[DDolla]

Willams with some Clutch FTs

 

[Natebishop3]

Definitely need a good backup center though.

Alexander has looked good.... although he can't shoot.

 

[OneSport3]

Do we get a parade route around the practice facility in Tualatin?

 

[James lamphear]

Give Williams credit he safe his best game for the championship game. Clutch free throw shooting by him.

 

[Idog1976]

It bears repeating, the new Thor movie looks god awful.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is the Brandon Williams I thought we'd see the whole SL.

Sadly, it's also the Keon Johnson I thought we'd see.

 

[illmatic99]

brandon saved his best game for the championship matchup. much needed

 

[DDolla]

We Are the Champion

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If our Regulars buy in and plays this hard defensively, we are gonna turn some heads.

A big if. I am having trouble seeing Lillard, Anf and Nurk playing this hard consistently on defense.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Trendon Watford for SL MVP?

 

[TBpup]

 

[blazerkor]

Well, we had a really good SL team and now they're the champs!!!
