Game Thread Blazers Vs Spurs Summer League Playoffs GM3

[Rastapopoulos]

Layman actually looks good when he attacks. Just has trouble finishing and his jumper is streaky. Could be a rotation player. I have higher hopes for him than Pat, although admittedly not high.

Pat should already be gone. If he's in training camp it's because he's the team mascot.

No, the tech was at the other end of the floor.

He was assessed his 5th PF and a tech at 4:28 on the game log.

I guess so that foul was 4:46.
What he do to get a tech.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He did indeed look terrible. I think he's stopped trying to do things he's not good at and has found more of a groove. I don't think he'll ever be starter material but his effort on defense is encouraging.

I think he should just model his game after Trevor Ariza, I think they have similar skill sets.

I thought it was on the other side as well.

I think Collins is going to be a defensive rim protector and backup 5 to Nurk. Basically will take all of Nard's minutes.

Not even this immediately. People are going to have to have patience with him. He should be in the D (now G) League for most of the early part of the season.

He will never be Trevor Ariza. Maybe Kyle Singler.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Collins will better on the offense end then Noah.

He'll shoot better, but he'll probably never be able to pass from the high post like Noah.

Yes, I' m sure and the game log proves it. Layman made the 3 with the assist from Swanigan at 4:46. The 5th personal and the tech were 18 seconds later at 4:28 at the other end of the floor.

I'm headed downtown this afternoon to stake out my spot on Broadway in case we win two more games, so I get a good view of the championship parade. Anyone want to join me?

IIRC It was some weak ass call on a bump along the baseline on defense. Didn't even notice Caleb said anything, but he must have said something because next thing he's heading to the bench and the guy is shooting a tech.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I actually think Olshey was smart getting Swanigan and Collins. They duplicate each other, and at the time I thought it would've been better to get a wing after getting a big, but Olshey almost certainly knew that Collins would have to be brought along slowly, and getting Swanigan (who might have a lower ceiling - although he might not) would help shield Collins from ridiculous expectations.

 

[BonesJones]

No, I would rather have a guy that will do his job. On this team, Layman's job is to try and score - and he does it even if they are not falling. Crabbe is a shooter that does not shoot enough. That's someone that does not do his job as he should.

But Layman is hurting our overall scoring if he's taking that many bad shots.

 

[BonesJones]

Swanigan > Bell and it's not close.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Swanigan > Bell and it's not close.

Biggie is far more rounded, still Bell for where he was drafted is gonna be great value.

My Dad's a long time Blazer fan and lived through the early years.

When I mentioned the fact that we actually had a really good draft, he said....

"Its about time! You weren't here when they drafted Larue Martin! Let me tell you...."

And on.... and on.... and on. Well at least the Wimbledon match diverted his train of thought.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

C-Swo!

 

[andalusian]

But Layman is hurting our overall scoring if he's taking that many bad shots.

Layman won us the game by continuing to shoot. Not many of his shots were bad - a lot of them were just not falling. If you listened to the interview - you heard what the coaches told him at half time - keep shooting it, keep being aggressive. He did, and they started to fall in.

 

[Trackjack]

He'll shoot better, but he'll probably never be able to pass from the high post like Noah.

I don't know about that but of course time will tell.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think Layman's shooting percentage is directly tied in to his confidence. The more time he spends on the floor the better I think he will get.

This is the problem with summer league. By the time you're starting to feel a groove, the league is over. This is why I wish we did more than one league.

This is the problem with cocaine. By the time you're starting to feel a groove, the party is over. This is why I wish I did it more than once a day.

I agree! Hate that!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Then what are you doing in this thread

Talking about summer league?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Then you should boycott it and stop posting in all the summer league threads.

Better still, stop posting altogether until the real games start. That'll show us!!!

I really enjoyed rooting for the team, yelling at the TV after all the STUPID mistakes, and of course getting the win. It was a nice diversion in the middle of my day, which has otherwise been spent entirely doing yard work.

Now let's get the next one!

(This is fun)

 

[joeBlazers]

Is Jake our answer at the SF position? I don't think he is a worst defender than Ryan Anderson and he definitely shoots better than Mo Harkless.
I know that Caleb is definitely the answer at the PF position. There is no doubt in my mind that Caled will be our starting PF by mid year at the latest.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Which ones?

I was told it didn't matter. I was just passing that on.

Yeah, we know. You've "passed it on" a few dozen time in multiple threads. It's your new mantra. Too bad you're being disingenuous and transparent.
