I would have bought the $4.99 SL package but was afraid it would be blackout for me anyway. I'm pretty sure it would be blackout if I purchased. I just watch the replays on NBATV. I rather watch live but for SL isn't that big of a deal for me.

Is NBATV free?
 
I bet he'll get beaten off the dribble by fast 3's and 2's, and abused on the block by physical 3's. I have a feeling his size and lack of lateral footspeed will make him average at very best.

Just curious, why do you think he has a "lack of lateral footspeed?" Is it from watching him play? Bad reviews on a web site? nbadraft.net doesn't mention it.
 
So we're expecting Lamb to light him up? (If Barton actually guards Lamb)

The hyperbolic analogy you made is similar to comparing punching someone and killing someone.

And one is ok, but the other isn't? Well, it is as long as it can be justified by corporation not telling us the truth, right?

You didn't make the point you thought you did.

His combine numbers on NBADraft.com are apparently a mistake (they copied Lamb's onto his profile iirc); he was actually pretty slow on everything. It's in some Draft thread.

Perhaps not, but did I at least prove I know what an analogy is?

Casey Holdahl ‏@CHold

Talked to @wessywes2, says he's NOT playing tonight or for the rest of summer league. Says he accomplished what he wanted to accomplish.

I don't know what that was, but I'm glad he's not playing. First of all, I think that the time is better spent on more unknown and inexperienced players. Secondly, I don't want him getting hurt.

His actual lane agility time was 12.50, good for second worst at the draft combine.

The worst was Sullinger at 12.77 seconds.

However, Terrence Ross and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were also among the 10 slowest in the agility testing. I'm not sure how well the drill they do measures their lateral foot speed.

Wes probably just wanted to make the youngsters feel a part of the team, and also got a free trip to Vegas out of it.

I hope he has a blast the rest of his time there, because he's a very bright guy who has a future as a coach in the league. It wouldn't surprise me if part of his reasoning for even being on the roster was to see how assistants work with young players, without him being one of the young players being coached.

in the practice interviews he basically said he was gonna play the 1st game only, wanted to come down and greet the new guys, mentioned that he sees himself as a leader, and wanted to prove it, and work on his post up game :lol:
 
This game thread is already longer than some of last year's game threads from later in the season.

Are people excited for some Blazers basketball or what?
