Game Thread BLAZERS SUMMER LEAGUE 2024

[Chris Craig]

how is that not a foul

It was. The refs are idiots.

 

[illmatic99]

the one time he isnt in drop, he gets a block on the perimeter.

go figure

 

[TYDame]

Nice D Cling-Kong

 

[Chris Craig]

Do these refs not understand the game of basketball?

 

[illmatic99]

i dunno what box this announcer is seeing, but clingan is currently sitting on 8pts, 11 rebs, 5 assists, and 3 blocks in 25 minutes.

i'll take that.

 

[B-Roy]

Crawford is basically sucking Clingan off, jesus

Theyre in vegas need i say more?

He is in drop, just not deep drop. That was always the thing with Clingan. Scouts thought he’d be able to be more than just a deep drop guy.

 

[Chris Craig]

That should be three fts

 

[TYDame]

Refs sucks, that’s a 3 FTs

 

[TYDame]

Clingan D again

 

[illmatic99]

Hard not to see the Marc Gasol comparisons.

i like this comp a lot better than przybilla. i just don't know if he has or will develop gasol's touch.

i dunno how useful he can be in the current nba with guys like wemby/chet/porzingis manning the 5 position.

also, i really want to see what he can do as roll man with more spacing in the league.

 

[Cugel]

love hearing that from chauncey about scoot

What was said?

 

[illmatic99]

how do you capture that in the box score?

terrific defense.

winning play.

 

[crandc]

Great D from Clingan on inbound.

 

[B-Roy]

Clingan will be fine

 

[B-Roy]

how do you capture that in the box score?

terrific defense.

winning play.

You’re coming around

 

[LayneStaley]

Clingan is a winner man. What an asset to the locker room,

 

[illmatic99]

You’re coming around

i like the kid, just didn't want to draft him given where the league is going.

Gasol didn’t have great touch at the rim either, his TS was always pretty poor for a center. But he could shoot a bit.

I mean, looking at who went after, I’m not gonna be too worried. I’m sure one or two players drafted after him will be better, that’s how it usually is, but Clingan will be good too. Probably outplay his draft position.

 

[HailBlazers]

What was said?

verbatim...

says he's been working hard all summer. he's been taking in all the slights and is ready to prove people wrong.

 

[inconceivable]

What a dumb quick foul

 

[B-Roy]

Seeing two Asians on the bench is odd

 

[TYDame]

We are winning a ring again lol

 

[LayneStaley]

I think Clingan/Camara lineups are gonna be fan favorites.

 

[Chris Craig]

Got the W

 

[B-Roy]

Why does this guy keep calling McCain McCAN?

 

[blazerfan11]

Clingan doesn't take a break in his effort level. Waving his arms around like a wild man.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

That was a good defensive performance. Council and McCain did much better against other teams.
