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

I see Walker making smart plays, good decisions. Playing the kind of basketball that contributes to wins, even against legit NBA players.

literally everything he is doing now will translate at a higher level. hell, i feel like he'll be even more productive with smarter and better players around him.

 

[Natebishop3]

Remember that the Knicks had BY FAR the biggest point differential of any team. Not after tonight LOL

 

[BlazerBeav]

That’s the good news about Walker - the things he’s showing here translate to NBA basketball - it’s not him putting up 35 by chucking up shots.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really like Alexander.

not to mention the bbiq.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh great... now they're hitting shots.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

What the heck are you doing shooting 3s Kyle?

 

[Natebishop3]

Bring back the starters.

 

[blazerfan11]

Walker is gonna look better playing with better players.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ross looks like he has zero arm strength. He has to heave to hit an NBA three pointer.

 

[MickZagger]

I see Walker’s having another solid performance. Perhaps SL MVP?

 

[Natebishop3]

Bring back Williams and Watford.

 

[blazerfan11]

I never understand when players lose focus on offense.

 

[blazerkor]

You really think Walker is a scrub?

Super high BBIQ, makes open threes at a good rate, gets great positioning for rebounds and has great timing for post defense. If we were looking at him as a small ball 5 then maybe he could get in the rotation but again, these scrubs he's playing against are making him look good on all of those things listed above. He still gets blown by a helluva lot in SL. Good footwork but not enough footspeed.

 

[illmatic99]

man get ross off the floor

 

[RonBrewer]

Ross has entered the chat.

Good to see you move on from your constant crying

 

[Natebishop3]

WHERES THE FOUL?????

 

[James lamphear]

Should call time 3 possession ago.

 

[DDolla]

Ross need to sit now

 

[James lamphear]

Should call time 3 possession ago.

 

[Idog1976]

Boy don't let Walker sit too long.

 

[RonBrewer]

Dear God.
Get back to hard Defense and sharing the damn ball.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Perfect example of bad shot selection leading to another team’s run. Yikes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ross need to sit now

He needed to sit like 3 games ago.

 

[blazerfan11]

Basically our coach just has to say "get the ball to Jabari Walker."
And tell his guards stop running the clock down.
If we lose this game it's on him.

 

[Idog1976]

Also, the new Thor movie looks fucking terrible even by Marvel standards yeesh!

 

[blazerkor]

Man the one way calls are so blatant.

 

[blazerfan11]

I am going say it's really going be hard to keep Walker out of the rotation this coming year.

He's going to fit right in with good players.

 

[illmatic99]

hope jabari gets a minute of rest or so and back. we just need him on the floor

 

[RonBrewer]

Boy don't let Walker sit too long.

And Garza. He's been good on offense.
