Game Thread BLAZERS SUMMER LEAGUE 2024

[illmatic99]

Much much better showing by DC and Rupes.

The Przybilla comps for Donovan are just off. He has much better feel. He's just slow.

 

[PDXFonz]

So Clingan is basically the Juggernaut on defense?

For those watching, can he do this against starters in the league? Dude seems to get blocks like they are going out of style.

Cling Kong and the Vanilla Gorilla sounds like a comic book title.

 

[Natebishop3]

Loving what DC and Rupes are doing. Murray’s shot still just looks broken.

 

[Natebishop3]

I wanted us to snag Edwards.

 

[Natebishop3]

Murray has no lift on his three.

 

[blazerfan11]

McGowens screws up right off the bat.

 

[PDXFonz]

Guess we know for sure by now which of the Murray brothers won the 1v1’s in the driveway.

 

[blazerkor]

The play by play guy on ESPN was just waiting to work in a “he went to Jared” and IMO the dude kind of forced it but I still laughed a little.

I don’t know. I still feel like Kris is too up tight and rushed. I bet you he feels comfortable playing ones against Keegan and I bet it helps his game a lot. Dude just needs to get his head straight.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can’t we bring in one distributor to play with the team?

 

[Natebishop3]

I tune into summer league to watch the refs call a shit ton of fouls.

 

[42N8Bounce]

A few random jerseys in the arena -







Sharpe, Camara, and Walker sitting courtside.

Go (summer league) Blazers!

Clingan. But the guards need to throw him the ball.

 

[James lamphear]

What I have seen there guards are just bad.

 

[blazerfan11]

Man, I hate watching little guards dribble the air out of the ball then pass to another little guard who hucks up a shot.

 

[TYDame]

Clingan defense is good

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers looking better today

 

[beast blazer]

Is Zach Edey ever going to play again in SL? He had one good game and they've sat him.

 

[blazerkor]

Clingan looking like he has the ability to be a real presence in the paint. Something we haven’t really had at an extremely high level for a long long time.

 

[blazerfan11]

Yongxi Cui can play basketball.

Joel was a very good rebounder and shot blocker, and sucked on offense. What are you seeing out of Donvan that deviates from that?

 

[TYDame]

Not sure why our offense need to start all the way to the half court line and then they get trap on the side

 

[blazerkor]

Take ClingKong out and our lead evaporates.

i actually watched him in college, and not just 1.5 games in summer league?

joel could only dream of being the passer that clingan is.

they're both white and blazers. comp ends there.

What I see you got a guard that enjoy to dribble the basketball instead get the team in a offense.

I think Donovan has better athleticism and timing on both things you pointed out, shot blocking and the boards. I think he grades out to be a lot better there and better at making defenders pay in the paint using that superior size and movement to score on just about any other big in the league.

 

[illmatic99]

murray getting hammered, no whistle

 

[blazerfan11]

Good grief. Please just take those guards out of the game. Just pass the ball already.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers need to slow down
