Russ Smith: The Human Pinball

 

[ripcityboy]

I think it's safe to say Smith is a slasher.

 

[Natebishop3]

Russ smith has never seen a shot he didn't like.

 

[PDXFonz]

SMH at Russ Smith

 

[TBpup]

Cut Russ Smith now just so someone else can get some shots. Good grief.

 

[Natebishop3]

GTFO smith.

 

[Darkwebs]

Russ Smith is a shoot first, shoot second, shoot third guard.

 

[ripcityboy]

I hate San Antonio so much. They are such a bunch of over proud jerks. It's a practice game guys!

 

[Natebishop3]

Anderson can derelick my balls.

 

[BonesJones]

Layman's form is beautiful. He'll be a good NBA shooter.

 

[illmatic99]

Man, who is the scout that put this shit team together? Russ Smith needs to be cut tonight.

 

[BBert]

That Smith guy pretty much ensured he'll never be paid to play basketball again.

 

[TBpup]

Montero shows good court awareness in finding the open man. Very smooth and created a lot off good looks for teammates that won't show up in the box score because they kept missing.

 

[ripcityboy]

I honestly don't think Pat makes it through camp. Neil had to be watching these games. What else can he learn?

 

[LuckyShot]

Russ Smith thinks he's going to impress people by showing he's a 6' tall, 25 year old PG who chucks crappy shots and misses them repeatedly.

 

[ripcityboy]

"So Anderson...... what's it feel like to carry Tony Parker's luggage."

Brent Barry: Don't introduce him to your wife.

Can see Bill Burr mentioning that one on his podcast.

He'll be a D-League all-star next year.

He'll be a D-League all-star next year.

Is there a 1 on 1 league that pays well.

 

[Natebishop3]

The mindset doesn't make sense to me....

You're out there with a handful of NBA guys that you know the club is trying to assess. As a point guard, wouldn't you make it your mission to feed those guys the ball in scoring position?

Layman, Vonleh, Montero, Connaughton.... why wouldn't you try to get them the ball and make them look as good as possible?

But nooooooooo..... Smith thinks that chucking every time down the floor is going to impress a team.

Are we gonna have to cut another guy? If so, and it comes down to Pat and Luis, I really hope we cut Pat.

Depends on whether we're bringing back Alexander or bringing in someone else.

Right now we're at 15.

Is that 15 counting Harkless?

I thought the whole reason we were keeping him was he had a decent shot? Seriously, he must really love basketball because he's screwing himself out of another career.

It is painful to watch. I know Napier barely practiced, and then got hurt. But do they run an offense? Do the Blazer coaches even care? Seems like it is all one on one.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is that 15 counting Harkless?

I believe so.

Dame
CJ
ET
Aminu
Ezeli

Crabbe
Harkless
Davis
Plumlee
Leonard

Montero
Vonleh
Connaughton
Layman
Napier

Cliff would be 16.

 

[Scalma]

I'd rather have Alexander than Connaughton. I thought pat would be improved but naw he's just as bad. He should just go play baseball and give this bball thing a rest.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pretty sure he's in a long term relationship.

He posted a picture of her on her 25th birthday. She's cute as heck, but HCP has better game than CJ in at least one respect.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Russ Smith is a shoot first, shoot second, shoot third guard.

I've seen the Russ Smith play book. It's a mirror.
