Back to the tank?

 

[Strenuus]

Nah, win this shit for Mike Lynch.

 

[Whyachi]

the Wizards are 3 point favorites. How is that even possible ? I guess the casinos gotta make money too

Home team usually gets 3, dont they? And earlier I heard it was 1.5 wizards. So we suck even more in just one day. Lol

 

[Mr. Robot]

ill watch just so i can laugh at how terrible scoot busterson really is

 

[KingSpeed]

ill watch just so i can laugh at how terrible scoot busterson really is

Unbelievable lack of patience

 

[kjironman1]

Man. Tanking sucks.

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot 2 fouls right out the gate

Refs U suck !!

 

[Whyachi]

Walk3r splat

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Scoot 2 fouls right out the gate

Refs U suck !!

Were they also offensive fouls? Because if he can get a turnover at the same time as a foul that's really optimizing what he does best.

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton & Murray gettin' things done

 

[Whyachi]

Minaya airball assist, a Blazers new patent

 

[Whyachi]

Wizards bricking, Blazers up 4

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Will somebody please remind Ayton that he's bigger, stronger and more athletic than anyone else on the floor?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Minaya got away with a huge carry there. Ball movement's good, though.

 

[Whyachi]

Wizards are so bad, Portland went up by 10. Scoot's hitting shots and everything.

Banton has 12 off the bench !

 

[Whyachi]

Wizards shooting 3 for 8 mllion threes. Those poor fans have been watching this garbage all season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Minaya's having himself a game! Nice block!

 

[Whyachi]

Kispert has some points, DC announcers are very excited.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Poor Scoot - the only Blazer with a - in the +/- column. (Banton with +15)

 

[MickZagger]

Charlotte routing the Magic. So what do we do? We go out and get a good sized lead vs the Wizards.

You can’t make this stuff up

 

[riverman]

Banton and Ayton are keepers.

 

[Whyachi]

Justin Champagnie is the only player with no points. Everyone else has scored in this late season Summer League matchup.

 

[blazerfan11]

Great to see Rupert get 20 minutes playing time in the first half.

As of now, Rupert leads the entire team (healthy and not healthy ) in 3-point shooting percentage at 41.6 percent.

 

[Blazinaway]

Man, nothing against Kris but his 3 pt shot is just so bad, so bad

 

[Whyachi]

Charlotte routing the Magic. So what do we do? We go out and get a good sized lead vs the Wizards.

You can’t make this stuff up

Orlando is in a funk, they almost got beat by a Scoot dime from a rugby skirmish

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wizards are so bad, Portland went up by 10. Scoot's hitting shots and everything.

Banton has 12 off the bench !

Ya Billups will have to do something about that!

 

[Hoopguru]

Banton and Ayton are keepers.

Banton can play the three too. He plays lose like KD.
