Game Thread 2023 SUMMER LEAGUE GAME 1: BLAZERS VS ROCKETS - JULY 7TH 2023 - FRIDAY - 4PM ESPN

Man I can see why Blazers were considering Amen at 3

 

[blazerfan11]

Hes got CP's vision, Dame's smarts, and Russ' aggression

He blows by his guy then makes a great pass.

 

[Predator]

Beautiful pass from Amen

 

[illmatic99]

And he bounced (!) that perfectly

 

[Predator]

Nice Scoot to Murray

 

[RonBrewer]

Walker is going to carve out a role. I really, really like his motor

 

[B-Roy]

Amen Thompson is nice.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Amen is unbelievable with his vision and poise

 

[AldoTrapani]

Amen Thompson is nice.

Super nice

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yikes Sc00t can’t make shit now

 

[maxiep]

Man Amen is unbelievable with his vision and poise

Hey, I really like your new schtick!

 

[BankTeller]

Man, both Amen and Scoot showing some generational passing talent right now.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers have really stagnated in the 2nd half. Not nearly the energy as to open the game.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Amen Thompson is nice.

yeah I think Miller will be ok but I would have taken Amen 3rd if Scoot had gone 2nd

 

[illmatic99]

Sterling is generating wide open looks

Amen has one speed. Going to have some turnovers until his teammates get used to him.

 

[RonBrewer]

 

[TBpup]

Badji blocking/altering shots left and right!

 

[illmatic99]

Lmao

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot doesn't need to guard Amen like he has a jump shot.

Sag the hell off him. There's a reason why he's super passive looking for his shot. That won't work in the NBA.

 

[B-Roy]

Amen has one speed. Going to have some turnovers until his teammates get used to him.

Amen makes plays that starting PGs that have been in this league for a decade couldn't make.

 

[EGame]

Yikes Sc00t can’t make shit now

It's gonna happen, no reason to panic. the important thing is how can he affect the game when he isn't? And so far he's been doing a great job finding open players regardless if they are hitting there shots or not

 

[Mediocre Man]

Scoot as advertised.

 

[illmatic99]

Amen has one speed. Going to have some turnovers until his teammates get used to him.

We aren't running any defense. Where i have the biggest questionmark on Amen is if he can hang when people realize he has 0 shot or can't go left.

Also recall he's about a yr older than Scoot.

He looks good but I caution in thinking he's some transcendent talent.

 

[MickZagger]

Udoka looks like he’s on a cycle.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Udoka looks like an NFL fullback.

His defense has been good too.

 

[B-Roy]

Oh god Shae....

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Beautiful pass from Amen

It's way early but i have the feeling he will be at least just as good as Scoot.

 

[TBpup]

Sharpe is coasting....lol.
