Game thread: Blazers vs. Rockets (Summer League)

[BlazerCaravan]

Johnson steals from Smith, drives it in on the break!

 

[B-Roy]

Sick D by Armon.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I like Johnson's D

 

[alex42083]

Armon with nice back-to-back plays on defense. He showed some nice hops on that last play to make that Rocket guy change his shot and force a TO.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Jeff Pendergraph doing his Greg Oden impression... fouling on a block, not getting injured.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Luke Babbitt's line - 4 points, 3 rebounds in 5 minutes so far.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pendy with a bank shot rebounds - 8 pts, 3 rebounds in 6 minutes. Babbit with another steal, to Dante for a jumper! Portland up 16-7!

 

[KingSpeed]

At the game. Asked someone if a seat was open and then realized it was Ernie Kent. Augmon here too. We are dominating.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Babbit looks a lot bigger than i thought

 

[alex42083]

Babbitt doesn't look like he has a quick first step..

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pendergraph fouled as he goes up. Rockets can't stop him.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Johnson has nice vision.

Pendergraph dominating. Hopefully he's developed into a reliable backup to LA.

He looks good. Last season, he hit any spot up jumper he took, but didn't take many. I hope to see his full repertoire this week.

It's weird watching a Blazer team pushing the ball with no ISO's.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Patty (like Bayless) is just not a point guard.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Hire this summer league coach, at least he knows how to fast break. (I'm half serious by the way)

 

[Haakzilla]

Dear D.Nichols,

Hang 'em up...I now know why you suddenly disappeared out of the NBA!

 

[alex42083]

Here come Armon, Dante and three scrubs.

 

[Haakzilla]

Patty (like Bayless) is just not a point guard.

...does Armon look like a PG, I just tuned in?!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't like jump passes, but Johnson had a nice little bounce pass to the cutter on the baseline.

 

[Nikolokolus]

...does Armon look like a PG, I just tuned in?!

maybe ... too soon to tell.

 

[MadeFromDust]

nice drive by Johnson

 

[alex42083]

Hell of a move by Armon right there.

 

[Haakzilla]

PG or not, wow! Armon just beat 4 Rockets on a pretty drive and finish!

 

[alex42083]

It'll be interesting to see if they choose to keep Patty or Armon as third-string PG.

...throw-in for a trade?!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Krabbenhoff sighting!

 

[Further]

Armon seems to not have great handles. He has tenacity and makes some good moves, but his handles are limited.
