nbadraft.net compared Leonard to Robin Lopez, one of the immobile, and lumbering centers in the league. Leonard is the exact opposite.

I can't imagine a team not wanting their players to compete, even if they perceive them to be locks for rotation. Learning to compete is one of the biggest pitfalls for young NBA players. Myself, I can't imagine not getting them time to learn how to win.

For some teams, it's really more about evaluating the talent on their roster. Yes, they want to win, but I've found that coaches don't always put their best players in at the end of SL games. Obviously, we didn't put Wesley in at the end of the game with the game on the line.

True, but that illustrates my point. It doesn't matter who is on the floor... it's a matter of getting them to compete.
It makes no difference between sports and business at this juncture, management wants to see who competes. I perceive the the Trail Blazers did tonight and it makes me happy, As much as I hate to say it, I saw 3 rooks and a few others that looked as though they were competing at an MBA level... that bodes well for the Blazers.
 
Man our rooks got me PSYCHED. Trying not to get over Psyched and put them on a pedestal they can't possible attain as rookies.

Thank you, pretty much has my take as well. LEO and Lillard are going to do quite well... I think. :)
 
I didn't get to watch the game. I DVR'd it, but for some reason it didn't record.

Well, I've read a couple pages of posts in this thread and everyone seems upset with Lillard. The guy had 25, 4 and 4. Compare that to Waiters and Rivers and he looked great.

I'll watch the replay tomorrow to see what everything was like with my own eyes. Unless someone knows where I can watch a replay online.
 
The replay is on CSNNW right now

The 2nd half will be on here quick
 
Lillard has a Gilbert Arenas type confidence in his shot from anywhere on the floor. I love it!
 
I love the Pinwheel Empire videos. Their production quality is awesome.
 
Got home from the RG a little but ago from covering the game. Lillard has swag! Straight up warriors mentality like Brandon did...... I was very impressed. And they only gave him credit for 4 dimes, that is bullshit! I went back and counted 8 assists! Don't know who was doing stats down there in Vegas, but he was way off. Saving my praise for Leonard, but his mobility impressed THE HCP.

Dude you can't judge the first few pages of comments that are from a game in real time. Everyone was loving on him in the second half.

Already 2 assists for Lillard in the 2nd half with less than 5min played in the 3rd Q

Stats are unimportant. I want to see
1. How he attacks the defense both uptempo and in the half court

2. Court vision and his willingness to pass

3. Does he get into people on defense

4. Leadership on the floor

check, check, check, and check.
He also got national cred.

Mission Accomplished :clap:
 
From the Daily Dime:

7. Saturday's Worst
i

Jon Diebler, Blazers: Portland's second-round pick in 2011 got off to a rough start to his summer. Diebler, who shot 50 percent from both the field and from behind the arc in his senior season at Ohio State, was 1-for-7 and 1-for-5 from 3 in the Blazers' win.
