LV Summer League game 2, Blazers vs Mavs - Game thread

[riverman]

A guy like Bogans is a sparring partner/coach for the younger guys on the team. The Earl Watson of this era.

 

[BonesJones]

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

who, Harkless?

 

[craigehlo]

Vonleh is a baller. This dude will be starting at PF sooner than later.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

who, Harkless?

bogans

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?

My theory is we brought him in to be a competent practice player for our young guys in summer league to play against. Better for guys like Crabbe and Connaughton to practice against a recent NBA has-been than a 25 year old never-was-and-never-will-be scrub.

No, announcer, the last thing that Blazer fans will do is compare Vonleh to LMA. They are past him now.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Frazier with the nice move.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

haha, the chick got hit in the head with a ball

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.

Hibbert was signing with us, but Indy could match. That's not olsheys fault.

 

[Darkwebs]

Didn't know Tim could finish in traffic that well.

 

[Darkwebs]

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

I was serious. But Pat had a bad pass the next possession.

 

[Sinobas]

We're up 210 to 0!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow
POR-210
DAL-0
And it's only the 2nd quarter!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

No, announcer, the last thing that Blazer fans will do is compare Vonleh to LMA. They are past him now.

Who is LMA?

 

[Darkwebs]

Frazier is looking good yet again!

 

[LuckyShot]

Vonleh is a baller. This dude will be starting at PF sooner than later.

His post game is probably raw, but he could be useful facing up against slower PFs. Seems to have a quick first step and handle for a big guy.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Hibbert was signing with us, but Indy could match. That's not olsheys fault.

Same with Kanter. Still a lotta swing-and-miss.

 

[craigehlo]

Frasier is nice on the break. Man, having him off the bench and not Blake is such a comforting thought.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nice 2 on 1 by Crabbe and Montero.

His post offense already looks better than Ed Davis IMHO. Much more creative.

 

[ripcityboy]

It's Portland. That is all that you need to say.

 

[LuckyShot]

Crabbe seems to be forcing it less on offense today.

 

[Sinobas]

No, announcer, the last thing that Blazer fans will do is compare Vonleh to LMA. They are past him now.

I don't see any comparison between the two. Different styles, different types of athlete. I actually think Vonleh can play SF, he's fluid and can handle the ball.

 

[Further]

Crabbe looking better

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe 3!

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe with the floater off the dribble!

 

[MickZagger]

Crabbe is looking real smooth.

Vonleh is a beast. A big who can put the ball on the floor like that is a commodity. At only 19 years old? Sheedy sign me up!

 

[Natebishop3]

Anyone know if the NBA summer league pass is blacked out in our area?

Nice looking shot by montero
