Game Thread 2023 SUMMER LEAGUE GAME 3: BLAZERS VS HORNETS - JULY 11, 2023 - TUESDAY - 5:30 PM PST NBATV

Miller is a DAMN good player! Not sure why some on here have been dusting on him. As if to try to justify Scoot for some reason?

I agree.... Wemby, Miller and Scoot can all be good; as well as Sharpe!

I hated the Nate/Jerryd love affair.
McMillan disliked real point guards.

not true...he loved Steve Blake

 

[wizenheimer]

The stepping out of bounds is specifically called the Jarrett Jack play.

Wesley was good at it too

USA vs Panama is in San Diego brah. You get to see Mexico vs Jamaica.

Then what fucking games am I working here in Vegas tomorrow??? Man I’m losing it. We are doing a double header…who the hell is playing?

 

[TBpup]

Or on NBCSports with music by John Tesh. Hell are you talking about?

Can the NBA go back to NBC if for no other reason, than the Tesh theme music.

Sorry I’m posting a cartoon. I know it really upsets some of the real SERIOUS posters on here. Cause you know basketball is SO serious.

Interesting you didn’t save this gem for the next game thread.

Not sure what the other game is but Mexico plays Jamaica at 7. Is it possibly a consolation match? USA plays in San Diego at 430. Might try to go as tickets are pretty inexpensive.

Site says it opens at 5 so I doubt another event is going on in Las Vegas. Are you helping production remotely?

I can’t believe I don’t even know what games I’m working. When they flew me down here they said I was working the Gold Cup Semis…. Double header….. standby, I got to go google some shit. SIGH!

Well that solves it. I am working the Mexico game here, but we are on the air during both Semis. So confused.

 

[riverman]

I have signatures on here turned off, what does it say bro?

[THE HCP]

Maybe if you took your job more seriously.... You might be good at it.

They actually tried to lay you off, but you didn't get the hint.

After watching some game highlights, Badji played some soft matador defense in the paint..didn't get in front of Miller all night it looked like. He needs to work on his lower core and get in a stance...take a charge.

I know the highlight you are talking about and if it wasn't summer league I would agree. But I think on that play Miller could have gotten hurt. But you are right he needs to get stronger. I thought he looked better this game, decent screens and passes. he isn't a turnover machine that I was worried about.

Tell me about it. Now I’m leaving town not even knowing what I’m going to work. I need a vacation FAMS.

Also nice to see Kris finally have a good game. He did everything he's going to be expected to do on the actual squad: hit open shots, make smart cuts, grab rebounds.

Missed three free throws and stepped out of bounds on two corner threes though. Rookie mistakes.

He has a very smooth stroke. He will eventually be a very good 3pt shooter.

I had never seen him play. He defiantly has a smooth looking shot. I like how big he is as well. Seems like he can handle the rock. I see a little Danny Granger in his game.

Badji has looked like a complete waste everytime I watched him. If we could Id cut his contract and give it to Reath.

John Butler Jr has done some nice things. He's very skinny but I'd keep him.

Reath has been surprising. I'd give him a shot. He is very active.

Badji and JBJ are both 20. They're projects.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'd just go ahead and tell Jaizec Lottie and Antoine Davis to just go ahead and piss off. They're both terrible.

Badji is averaging 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in almost 19 minutes per game. That's...... not good.

Reath is averaging 11.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in 21 minutes.

With 5 draft picks the last two years and likely some young talent in a Lillard trade we don't need two poor projects like Badji and JBJ.

We need young talent that has at least role player upside not 13th man upside. We need some vets to help the development of the quality young players. Badji provides neither.

They're 2 way players. They're barely on the team.

That pass from Reath to Butler with his long arms going down the middle for a score was really nice. It'll be great if the secondary/third scorers can work effectively together like that.

Watched Badji twice in person he looks much worse than those stats. He's a stiff with poor movent, no feel for the game. JBJ at least moves very well and looks like he could one day develop into something.

Reath took some dumb 3s but everything else he did was excellent. I see he's 27. I'd still much rather have him on the roster for 3rd/4th string.

Reath isn't super fast but he knows where he's supposed to be.

Badji should be a 0 way player.

 

[B-Roy]

Bro Reath is 27???
