Game 1 Phoenix vs Portland SL (SPOILERS)

[Natebishop3]

Nice drive and dunk by CJ!

Yeah, but I doubt those five will all be on the floor at the same time next season. Stotts likes to slowly filter out the starters, plus you have to factor in Wright.

The point is that those 5 guys will be seeing a lot of playing time during the season, whether it is all of them together or not. So if they can't compete well against the summer league guys, they probably aren't going to look great in the regular season.

 

[Boise Blazer]

CJ can get to the rim easily. Nice Jam

 

[Natebishop3]

I really like TRob so far. Gobbling up boards, and not nearly as raw as some people claimed.

It's on ESPN3 for free if you have it.

Otherwise it's pay nba.com for it or resort to streaming.

channel on Comcast?

 

[ABM]

What's the score/period?

 

[Carlito]

U guys realize this is basically out nba bench and our losing to summer leaguers?

I don't expect much from Freeland or Barton honestly.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

I think T-Rob is gonna be a fan favorite.

You realize that much of the Phoenix team are part of their rotation as well?

Tucker
The Morris twins
Marshall

Not exactly a bunch of scrubs for Phoenix.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think T-Rob is gonna be a fan favorite.

So far I like him a lot, and he's not playing out of control at all, which is what I expect from someone that people call "raw".

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

I think T-Rob is gonna be a fan favorite.

Freeland with his best move as a Blazer

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Claver looked good in his time on the floor. Freeland still looks a step slow.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I think T-Rob is gonna be a fan favorite.

I already like what I see and there clearly room to grow

One, I'm not going to put tons of stock into W/L in summer league. That's ridiculous. Two, Morris and Tucker each played over 1800 minutes last season for PHX, it's not just a bunch of summer leaguers for them.

Exactly.

But also, I would like to point out that regardless of who is out there, most of these guys have never played together. I think we'll see a real glimpse after a few games at what we have.

We are winning 17-13 in the first period.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Barton back in. I'm sure they were in his ear saying "you don't have to shoot EVERY time"

17-13 PDX, 1 minute left

 

[Natebishop3]

Nobody is really running the pick and roll, which I think Meyers is pretty good at.

 

[Boise Blazer]

...

17-13 refs are killing the flow of the game

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Barton at PG LOL

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh god.... is Barton running the point?

 

[VenomXL]

4000 fouls in the first quarter.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Two blocks in a row for Joel! But a foul called.

Awesome, thanks! I'm gonna call Kass and take back everything I had said about you.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why are the scrubs in already?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently Will wasn't listening. Cedric Jackson looks good though.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm having a hard time understanding this lineup...
