Dame is gonna come sit courtside and social media is going to explode.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Dame is gonna come sit courtside and social media is going to explode.

They're gonna duct tape an iPad on his cousin's face and let Dame watch the game from the Dominican Republic through FaceTime

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame is gonna come sit courtside and social media is going to explode.

The commentators are going to be talking about the trade all game.

 

[Strenuus]

The commentators are going to be talking about the trade all game.

THIS SUMMER LEAGUE PLAYER IS REALLY HEATING UP FOR THE HEAT... COULD THEY BE THE MISSING PIECE TO COMPLETE THE DAME TRADE. HOW COULD PORTLAND SAY NO THEN?

 

[Natebishop3]

I can’t imagine Shaedon will play.

 

[Chris Craig]

I can’t imagine Shaedon will play.

Yeah, probably not.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame will pop a squat on the Miami Heat bench to cheer on his new team.

 

[maxiep]

I hope we play that game like the Charlestown Chiefs.

 

[inconceivable]

Is Sharpe playing tonight?

 

[TBpup]

Is Sharpe playing tonight?

I'd be very surprised if he did. If they had made the Playoffs, he would be in there. Damn Lottie!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Current Blazers vs. Future Blazers!

 

[Labinot41]

the winner gets Dame

 

[HailBlazers]

Sick joke

 

[Whyachi]

the Heat are resting Jaquez, so he can save energy to move all his stuff to Portland in 2 weeks.

 

[maxiep]

Or, so that can't see how much he sucks.

 

[inconceivable]

the winner gets Dame

Heat wins, they get Dame for Herro

Blazers win, we get Bam for Nurk

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is going to be quite boring, isn't it?

 

[Chris Craig]

Oh dear Dwyane Wade in the house.

 

[inconceivable]

Is shae playing?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I would have appreciated it if Billups could have come up with one specific example of what he had learned during his first two years of coaching...

 

[Tince]

I don't really like questions like that. If he's gets super specific, then he's giving out information that can only help others teams. Also, if he brings up something he didn't know previously, it could be used against him as an example of how unprepared he was to be a head coach.

At the end of the day, the results on the court will be the best indicator of how much he's learned over the years; not some summer league interview.

tanking?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Must win game?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is the way Summer League ends - not with a bang but with a whimper.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I would have appreciated it if Billups could have come up with one specific example of what he had learned during his first two years of coaching...

How not to coach?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nobody in Portland "wants to do right by Dame" anymore.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Orlando Robinson probably feels like he's pretty hot shit but joke's on him - much worse players have had better games against us.

And this coming season, many more. Sigh. I'm going to need some of Scoot's optimism, but he's probably going to need it more.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Are these guys idiots? The one guy we should be sure to get in the Lillard trade is Kevin Love???!!!

 

[twobullz]

Missed the first half of the game, but what a ugly second half. Way to many turnovers.
