Game Thread Blazers Van Raptors Summer league playoffs GM2

[Jade Falcon]

So there are less timeouts per game, huh?

Stotts should be thrilled.....

 

[H.C.]

What is Collins injury, and how bad is it? Just a deep bruise?

That's all that has been reported.

 

[LuckyShot]

Swanigan looks frustrated on offense. He gets open, doesn't get the ball, gets open some more, finally gets the ball but not in the position he wanted, and then forces a bad move and turns it over.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Collins is out because of a bruise?

Can I knee you in the thigh muscle?

Lmao. I agree with your thinking sinobas, however honicrackers reply was pretty damn funny...

 

[MickZagger]

Layman's a keeper. He might be our future at the 3.

 

[MickZagger]

Was Kiki a top 10 Blazer of all time?

Or was his tenure too short for that?

 

[H.C.]

that transition defense is not okay Swanigan. That would get you benched if I were the coach.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Layman's a keeper. He might be our future at the 3.

Yeah I am back on his bandwagon. He is not pressing as much and is playing with much more confidence. He plays decent D too.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Finally tuning in. Biggie will get minutes this season, period.

 

[theprunetang]

So you're sayin there's a chance?

Life finds a way.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Swanigan has a 7-3 wingspan? Damn!

Layman is doing pretty good! I just wish he was more consistent.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I like the comparison of Elton Brand for Swanigan . Brand had a 7'5 " wing. Not exactly the same type of player but a good goal for Caleb. He has more range than Brand

 

[Jade Falcon]

I thought I saw Rick Harrison in the crowd about 8 minutes ago or so. It wouldn't surprise me if he's there; trying to scam people out of Swanigan jerseys.

"Hey Rick, I've got this jersey. This kid is gonna be legit; a true All Star! I want $100 for it."

"The best I can do is fifty cents."

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

At least in this game, it appears that, on offense, Swanigan operates a lot better when he has a lot of room.

 

[MickZagger]

Yeah I am back on his bandwagon. He is not pressing as much and is playing with much more confidence. He plays decent D too.

I was a fan of his last year. The game just looks like it comes natural. He has all the makings of a solid, solid player. Its just a matter of if he can put it all together.

It looks like he's worked on creating off the dribble.

 

[Scalma]

Layman is a beast never doubted him for a second.

 

[TBpup]

What does it take for our guards to recognize when Swanigan has a mismatch and to get him the damn ball quickly?

It's not like the big boy guards on the Blazers are any better at that. Vonleh and Harkless in particular frequently have mismatches and rarely saw the ball. Nurkic helped but the guards should be more aware. There are some easy hoops available there.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Layman is a beast never doubted him for a second.

I still think he needs to keep from taking the difficult 3's. Just stick with the open ones for now with his feet set. Leave the tough ones for Dame

 

[H.C.]

Lost art of the entry pass.
Key here kids is to not pick up your fucking dribble until you have a angle to pass the ball.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I just think biggie is going to get better really fast

 

[MickZagger]

Is Stokes really a 6'6" Center?

 

[PDXFonz]

 

[MickZagger]

RJ Hunter's trash.

 

[MickZagger]

Why does Layman like to rock the Jeffrey Dahmer looking side beard that doesn't connect?

 

[The Professional Fan]

I think RJ Hunter could be an NBA player if he wasn't stupid

 

[Scalma]

RJ Hunter's trash.

Such a selfish player. Same with that other guard, Johnson. Gutierrez is a rec league talent.

 

[MickZagger]

We gotta get Layman and Swanigan in there so we can live to fight another day.

 

[H.C.]

Stokes reminds me of Jeff Pen... err Jeff Ayers.

 

[MickZagger]

I think RJ Hunter could be an NBA player if he wasn't stupid

Coaches son.

 

[MickZagger]

Stokes reminds me of Jeff Pen... err Jeff Ayers.

Haha good old Jeff Pendergraph.

He sucked. Liked to flex on people all the time even though he was garbage. It was funny.
