Portland vs Atlanta Summer League Game Thread! 1pm Tuesday

Didn't three fourths of this forum want Channing Frye shooting threes for us from the center position?

Channing is what he is... I don't think this is what most people wanted out of Meyers.

 

[BBert]

Great. the best game from our guys I'm missing.

Gotta rewatch later tonight when I get home

Wish I could see it. Anyone know if it's being replayed on NBATV?

$5 and you've got on demand on NBA.com

 

[BBert]

Why don't you guys give the Meyers hate a rest. You can start up again in 2-3 years if he hasn't developed. It's a broken record at this point. The guy admits he needs more game time experience. Since then he has had exactly 1 game (today) and you expect him to be ready. It's getting a little old.

Yes, please.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hmm... Carney looks pretty useful!

 

[jlprk]

I wonder if his speed and timing will ever get in line with the rest of the game.

That's not the cause. Effort and fear of fouling are the causes. He's a giant wimp. His mind, not his body, is pudding.

We went back to playing 5 on 5.

I was thinking, "This is 4 on 5" the whole time he was in.

 

[BBert]

Robinson with 8 points, 6 boards, 5 steals, and 4 assists.

Sounds like TRob is just ballin' and not overthinking it. The first game I think he just had the summer league jitters on a few possessions.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently a broken thumb only needs about 8 weeks recovery time, which isn't horrendous.

Non-draftees always play harder than players with guaranteed contracts. Whenever I hear, "We already have 15 guaranteed," as if it's a good thing, I think, that's the GM's fault.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, either way, nice game for our main guys.

Barton - 17 points off 8-14 shooting, 4 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals although he did have 6 turnovers lol

CJ - 28 points off 10-16 and 6-9 from deep, 3 boards, 1 assist, and 1 steal

Robinson - 8 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, and 5 steals

Although Meyers is just frustrating as hell. 21 minutes and ZERO REBOUNDS.

How much different would the timetable be if he tore ligaments as opposed to just a break?

 

[EGame]

lmao i love how winning the quarter means something in summer league.

 

[Darkwebs]

HELL YEAH! Carney just won that quarter for us. Clutch 3 from deeep!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We're going to the Summer League Playoffs!

On demand? Cool. Thanks.

So the White Dwight turned into the White Hibbert. LOL

More like the White.... Raef LaFrentz?

 

[riverman]

Good Solid win!CJ and Will look great. TRob is young, he'll heal quickly. Batum played with an injured finger for half a season. That inbounds steal of Barton's was sick! On a more somber note, how can Leonard get 7 fouls and 0 rebounds?

The word "frustrating" means he's trying but is inconsistent. Since we've all given up on him except the Blazer employees here to cheerlead, almost all of us know he is neither.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Well, you leave him out there 5 minutes...

BOXSCORE

 

[Wizard Mentor]

TRob had a 4 5 game (points rebounds assists steals), only 5 blocks from a 5 5 game!

 

[Blazer4ever]

I thought Meyers looked better than ever. He actually played good defense, that was amazing! That Kim Hughes is a genius!
The team as a whole plays great defense, seem well coached, not only do we have better players, we also play better as a team.
CJ was just impressive, I think he deserves minutes. The thrill was amazing as usual. T-Rob had just a ridiculous game, was just too good, his best plays were actually assists.
Freeland seemed a bit bummed coming off the bench on SL. Just proves how deep we are that a guy like Freeland doesn't even start for our summer league team!

 

[riverman]

After watching Meyers, that Kaman signing is looking better and better

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I am totally off my trade Freeland kick. There is someone else I think should be traded/cut......

 

[jlprk]

With Robinson gone, Freeland should move to PF and Leonard should start. Pudding replaces iron.

1/3 of our fouls (7 of 23) were committed by Leonard in his 21 minutes.

must spread rep!

 

[riverman]

Good thing is CJ is finally looking like the real deal.

 

[Natebishop3]

Here's that CJ to Will lob.
