[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Vonleh looks a bit like Al Jefferson in the post.

So.... A black hole?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Frazier airball.

Soft hands, nice spins. I'm liking the dude.

Vonleh having to be told to set screens

 

[Further]

Pat and Vonleh are showing their stuff

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow!! What a move by Pat! Showing off his driving ability.

Vonleh looks a bit like Al Jefferson in the post.

Wow, you are right!

 

[craigehlo]

Wow, you are right!

Just needs to pump fake about 5 times per possession and he's a dead ringer.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I don't know what to think of Connaughton still. Seems a little slow and not that much of a marksman.

 

[Further]

Why is Bogans on our team?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

JEsus, the scorekeepers are fucking up bigtime haha

 

[craigehlo]

Why is Bogans on our team?

Favor to an agent?

Well he faked his last drive attempt 5 times

 

[BonesJones]

Wow he looks bad.

DON'T HATE ON MY BOY SATNAM

These favors haven't been paying off.

This one is weaker than most "favors" we've been providing (assuming it was a favor).

If he can improve the D, he could be a pest off the bench. Ala Matt Delavedova.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Kevin Pangos looks like the accountant for Sanchez in License to Kill.

Great entry pass by Pat there to Vonleh

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

what a lazy fucking pass by Pat to Wayans.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE SOME OF THESE PASSES.

Mehhh...the result was good but the pass was too late. That's a turnover in the regular season :/

Favors don't mean we get a signing, just means we get a fair shot and a chance to bend the ear of their players. We didn't close with Monroe, but we got a chance to pitch.

Sarcasm? I only ask due to the next post by L-Pee.

I've seen ex-NBA players do Summer League before, but they are usually under 30. Who is Bogans at 36 going to sign with? The Luxembourg League?

You don't think someone like him could be a nice 15th man and mentor to our young bigs?

Oh that was sweet!,, Vonleh baby

Well, that shit is weak considering we pitched to Hibberta few years ago, and Monroe last year (Falk is the agent of both).

So, while NO continues to talk a big game, we've struck out on several FA's, failed to keep our own FA's, and his only trades have been small, shrewd deals that rely heavily on scrap players taking big steps forward.

I'm not knocking NO. I like where we are at. But I'm cautious in buying NO's sales pitch. Until he lands the big one..... It's pretty much been a lot of swing-and-miss this far.

He's proven thus far that he's wise in identifying underappreciated youth.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

They said on the broadcast that he was not a good locker room guy.

 

[Sinobas]

Connaugton may be able to jump high in the vertical test, but he doesn't seem to be a great "basketball athlete". Maybe he's being tenative. Vonleh with a nice slam!

 

[Darkwebs]

Vonleh! Great pump fake, drive and dunk at the rim! And one!
