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

The NBA is clearly trying to keep the NY market engaged. They know if we blow them out, they will lose a bunch of viewers.

Williams has stepped it up big time.

I love and hate him at the same time on some possessions. Terrible shot, but then nice follow. Unwilling to swing the ball to Keon, but then a nice find of Garza down low. It's like he doesn't really want to pass the ball unless he thinks he can get an assist.

 

[RonBrewer]

I'm a Keon Johnson fanatic

 

[inconceivable]

Why is Greg Brown III not playing?

A) to give opportunity for others w/o contract to show what they can do

B) he sucks

C) other

 

[Natebishop3]

Get Garza OUT

 

[blazerfan11]

Why is Garza playing so much?

 

[riverman]

Not getting calls is great preparation for being on a Blazer roster....when they find out Dame doesn't even get calls it'll sink in.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's clear as day that they're trying to keep the game close.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That was nice drive by Grimes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Garza walked lol

 

[Natebishop3]

Why is Garza playing so much?

I think they're trying to decide if he's worth the other 2 way...... spoiler - he's not.

 

[riverman]

Nothing sounds better than Jabari Walker enters game for Didi Louzada!

 

[Natebishop3]

The Knicks can't shoot at all.

 

[illmatic99]

You miss a shot at the rim, you get a foul call.

 

[Natebishop3]

I like how they gave the jump to 45 instead of grimes.

 

[Natebishop3]

You miss a shot at the rim, you get a foul call.

Case in point.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I hate late whistles. If it's a foul, it's a foul. Whether or not the shot dropped shouldn't be relevant.

 

[inconceivable]

Foul fest

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Walker doin' work!

 

[Natebishop3]

You can just tell when a coaching tree emphasizes defense. The Knicks and Blazers both come from defensive coaching trees.

the strategy has to be to go to the rim. chuck up garbage. shoot FTs.

 

[blazerfan11]

Good job by Garza taking the charge.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Wasn't that a travel by Hunt? Didn't he catch his own airball?

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh damn... Garza's mouth is bleeding.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh damn... that's a big cut.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ross isn't a point guard. Not even a little bit.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Finish the quarter well and we are good.

 

[Natebishop3]

Grimes can't shoot.

 

[blazerfan11]

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

 

[blazerfan11]

Grimes can't shoot.

Not against us.
