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

[Pinwheel1]

If you go big at SF, (on occasion) maybe we can go small at SG. I would love to see a line up of :
Dame ,Cj, Vonleh, Plumlee and Meyers?

 

[Mediocre Man]

He could be a poor man's Rod Strickland?

Out team needs more rich people

 

[Further]

I think we're gonna be pleased with Ed Davis in the starting lineup. Dude is a straight up hustla

I totally agree. But I don't think he will end up as good as Vonleh. The question is, when will Vonleh earn the nod and how will Davis take it. Most likely Davis this year, then trade him and for a nice piece and move Vonleh in next year.

 

[Sinobas]

I really think I would start Crabbe at the two. He plays good defense, he has good size, and he can shoot. I'm not excited about Hendo, and if we're going youth movement I think that Crabbe is the better choice.

Henderson is much better at this point, he attacks the rim, and plays with a lot of energy and hustle. He's in a contract year, so we may as well use him up.

Lol. Montero banks in a 3

We are the NBA version of Tom Joad!

I think Vonleh is at least a year or two away from being an NBA starter. He's just going to be too raw against established players, most of his growth will be in Practice and then some game time. I think the toughness of Davis would be good for Vonleh.

I do think that with Aminu's defensive ability, we will be able to play extended minutes with both CJ and Dame at the same time.
Dame
CJ
Aminu
Vonleh or Davis
Plumlee

Youth.

Movement.

Henderson is 27. Look at his stats last year (snooze fest.)

 

[riverman]

I like Tim Frazier a lot

 

[LuckyShot]

Henderson is 27. Look at his stats last year (snooze fest.)

Then we might as well trade him.

 

[Further]

In terms of what? He's very fluid. Pat for example, has a higher vertical jump, but you can clearly see who the better athelete is.

I just read recently some draft reports and they said he was a good but not elite athlete. Would you say Malone was a good athlete? I think it's similar, a good athlete with an extra bit of muscle and a fluid ability to use those muscles. But not the hi jumper or speed demon some others are.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I don't think Crabbe should be anywhere near the starting lineup, especially at the 2. We just can't throw out a borderline D-league team out there on the floor with Lillard, we'll get annihilated. Gotta have some crafty vets and the young guys earn their keep.

Dame
Henderson
Aminu
Davis
Plumlee

Have you seen him play? He's 10x more exciting than Crabbe.

 

[Mediocre Man]

whew, we almost lost that quarter. That could have been disastrous

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Have you seen him play? He's 10x more exciting than Crabbe.

Hendo is a solid, steady vet. On a reasonable contract. You keep him unless you need to move him to take a big step forward.

12 ppg, 3 boards, 2 assists...... really exciting.

 

[riverman]

Kind of surprised Dawkins hasn't played tonight

 

[RoyToy]

Rice saying they need to reign Montero in

What?!?!?

Let him loose. He has a lot of ability and a lot of enthusiasm it seems. Don't make him turn his game down.

 

[ripcityboy]

Olshey doesn't suffers fools gladly. Literally, every time someone sticks a mic in his face, he's like "hey Doc, you got a problem?"

 

[Darkwebs]

Crabbe is redeeming himself for last game's lackluster effort

 

[Further]

I'm loving hearing Olshey getting interviewed tonight. You could tell from his answer he just loves CJ but doesn't have that same feeling about Meyers.

 

[LuckyShot]

12 ppg, 3 boards, 2 assists...... really exciting.

I'd be surprised if we ever see Crabbe do that in a single season. Those are Henderson's career averages.

Why should he?

 

[Natebishop3]

I'd be surprised if we ever see Crabbe do that in a single season. Those are Henderson's career averages.

Those are also his stats for 2014-2015.

 

[BonesJones]

12 ppg, 3 boards, 2 assists...... really exciting.

compared to the 6 points and 3 rebounds Crabbe would get in the same minutes? Yeah. More exciting.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Damn, did Crabbe BLOCK

 

[Darkwebs]

Holy cow! What a rejection by Crabbe! Hope he's alright after the fall.

 

[Natebishop3]

compared to the 6 points and 3 rebounds Crabbe would get in the same minutes? Yeah. More exciting.

What are you basing that on?

 

[Darkwebs]

Crap. Looks like Crabbe hurt his shoulder. It'd better not be serious
