Blazers vs Celtics: SL Game #1 CSNNW @ 5:00 p.m.

[TBpup]

Your guess as to what the starting lineups will be is probably as good as anyone else's. I'm hoping that Vonleh's ankle is okay for him to play, that Tim Frazier shows an improved shot and that he can run a team and push the tempo without turning the game into a turnover filled slopfest, and it would be good to see Crabbe with increased confidence, an improved shooting stroke and some handles.

Crabbe - Show me you deserve regular rotation minutes
Vonleh - Like Meyers, he just needs court time.
Moultrie - Has some decent skills and can alter some shots
Dawkins - probably the best shooter on the roster
Frazier - It's his SL team. How well can he run the show?

Any insights on players that you may have seen in college or elsewhere is welcomed. Boston brings in some guys that the Blazers had in for draft workouts. RJ Hunter, Mickey Jordan along with guys who didn't go where projected in Terry Rozier (higher) and Jonathon Holmes (way lower). Other interesting names are Ralph Sampson III, Marcus Smart, and Marcus Thornton.

watched boston thrash the spurs wed. smart is big fast and can hit the three, rozier is a burner and both points were on the floor together for much of the game. rj hunter can definetly shoot the three,and gets it off fast. cj flair played well at pf rebounding running and shot ok. mickey got called for a couple goal tendings, holmes only memoreable moment was an open 3 thorntan plays completely out of control and saw little court time as a result

The NBA has had a deal for a couple years now. For $5 you can stream all the games from both summer leagues on demand. I think it's worth it.

Since summer league is made for guards and wings I'm most intrigued by pat, Frazier, crabbe and montero.

Well I guess that means the Celtics can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series.

Theres nothing better to ride out some alcohol poisoning to than Blazers Summer League ball

That's less of a lie than I'm comfortable with.

I live in Mexico, and I just signed up. Use a VPN, Spotflux is my choice, and set it up for a US IP. It also works for Netflix.
