Game Thread BLAZERS SUMMER LEAGUE 2024

[Blazinaway]

Why would it be tomorrow?

why not, asap works for me

 

[Blazinaway]

Worf gets his first 3!

 

[Chris Craig]

Getting screwed by the guy we drafted and traded

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Every time they chuck up a three it goes in

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Getting screwed by the guy we drafted and traded

Rookie of the year - book it!

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn!!!

 

[Cugel]

Baldwin Jr has looked good.

 

[B-Roy]

clingan's +/- stands out once again

Clingan +12, Reese -10.

Pretty obvious out there too. I don't think the Wiz have made a shot at the rim with Clingan in the game.

 

[illmatic99]

rupes' defense on bub has been terrific

 

[TYDame]

Bryce our Summer League Closer

Reversing the court then attacking (especially with road block like Clingan on your side) pays dividends.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If we could merge McGowens and Murray then we'd have a complete player!

 

[Chris Craig]

Clingan +12, Reese -10.

Pretty obvious out there too. I don't think the Wiz have made a shot at the rim with Clingan in the game.

His defensive presence is much needed for the Blazers. Looking forward to seeing him play with the actual team.

This is Rupert's breakout game

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What with Clingan, Minaya, Rupert and Murray we have a great defensive foundation for this team. Now we need offense!

Now I really am curious to see those four with Scoot...

 

[TYDame]

Clingan is a winner folks

 

[B-Roy]

Good god Clingan

 

[Chris Craig]

Good god Clingan

He blocked the shit out of that guy.

 

[blazerfan11]

Clingan is blocking crunch-time perimeter shots.

He seems to have great awareness of the game for a rookie.

 

[B-Roy]

Not comparing the two because Gobert moves much better, but does Clingan have Gobert upside in terms of defensive impact?

 

[Natebishop3]

The hand is part of the ball!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

That was no foul

 

[TYDame]

Do we still have a timeout?

 

[B-Roy]

Clingan is that dude defensively.

 

[Chris Craig]

2-1

 

[blazerfan11]

There's 2.7 seconds in the game and you're ahead by 2.

Why the hell would you force an inbounds pass about 12 feet from the baseline? Throw it down court.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not comparing the two because Gobert moves much better, but does Clingan have Gobert upside in terms of defensive impact?

No question.

 

[TYDame]

Yes or No, do we rest Cling-Kong now?

 

[blazerfan11]

Not comparing the two because Gobert moves much better, but does Clingan have Gobert upside in terms of defensive impact?

He feels a lot like Gobert. His effect doesn't show up in the typical statline.

He might not get every rebound, but he's making it difficult almost always for the other team to get it (when he's on defense.)

Same with contesting shots near the hoop.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Our castoff John Butler was +15 for them!
