I can think of ONE reason...

Well our rebounding can’t get any worse lol

 

[Natebishop3]

Lmao its funny reading people get mad at a summer league squad where 80% of them wont even get a sniff of nba action.

It's the 80% that I get mad at. Just pass the fucking ball to the guys who matter. They still don't understand that GM's don't want to watch them come in and jack up 30 shots.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I thought Little’s one on one D was decent. He looked a little (heh) lost here and there. I thought Hoard looked like a legit NBA player. Trent Jr is a chucker and he’s not even good at creating his own shot. His only hope in the NBA is to get a good enough jumper he can run around screens and play a JJ reddick
type role.

Simons looked good in spurts.

 

[beast blazer]

Wtf are you talking about?

If your reading comprehension is that poor I don't know how I could possibly explain it.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

its ONE game of summer league my dudes lol. a guy like little was always gonna have a hard time in a ‘league’ dominated primarily by guards who dont know how to be guards at the highest level.

 

[beast blazer]

Blow this team up. They are losers.

Seriously, these guys need to realize nba teams want guys who move the ball and make open shots. Not guys who play 1 on 5 and attack the basket foolishly or throw up contested jumpers out of the flow of the offense. PLAY YOUR ROLE and you may make a roster.

you are such a silly human.

 

[illmatic99]

He get traded?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Now that Little got the jitters out, I think he'll play a lot better next game. But I don't know what the fuck our coach is doing

 

[42N8Bounce]

My observations on the game;
Little - bad
Trent - bad
Simons - meh
Daum - didn’t play
Hoard - didn’t know how to pass
Robinson - decent

I hope I didn’t get too in-the-weeds on that review. I tried to keep it at a high level and simple for the reading audience on this forum.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

He get traded?

thats... interesting.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

He get traded?

I thought someone said shoulder issue? Probably means Olshey said “hey, we are gonna say your shoulder is tweaked cause we don’t need you to get hurt in Vegas somehow when you will be a rotation player come the start of the season.”

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Bruce Brown is their Wade Baldwin IV

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Bruce Brown is their Wade Baldwin IV

We should’ve signed WB4 to our SL team..

 

[illmatic99]

will cherry and dame have some history if i remember. hes also from oakland, same class

 

[Mediocre Man]

Not really, he is injured

 

[blazerfan11]

Tacko Fall will be in the game on ESPN at 2:30 . Boston vs Philadelphia.

Tacko Fall will be in the game on ESPN at 2:30 . Boston vs Philadelphia.

He is gonna get so many rebounds lol

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Thats all the bad basketball I can handle for a day...

 

[Chris Craig]

Next one is tommorow vs Rockets at 7pm

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers gotta work on their ball and player movement. 7 assists for the whole team. Meanwhile, Bruce Brown gets 10 assists by himself.

 

[Chris Craig]

Will Daum play tommorow?

 

[1eyedjack]

First game they will look better tomorrow

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Will Daum play tommorow?

Well, if the play of Stokes and Auguste can’t get him off the bench... idk what will.

Well I missed the 1st half, but from what I saw in the second, this Summer League version of the Blazers is pretty bad. Little looked raw, Simons didn't look like a PG(which is a problem), and no one else looked like a roster keep. I hope there was some nice play in the 1st half. I did see the Blazers close to 4 in the 3rd, but there were absolutely no shooters. I know, it's Summer League, but it's always fun to see someone that gets you excited. Didn't see it at all today. Now back to Anfernee. I know he has mad skills, and showed them in that last game of the season, but the Blazers are hoping for him to be the backup PG. I'm not sure he's close to be ready for that role. With ET gone, and Seth gone as well, it seems to me that the Blazers are going to have to find a REAL backup to Dame, and fast. Who's left on the market?

1st half was about the same as the 2nd

I am not going get over excited about summer league play. What I wanted to see out of Simons and Trent if they look confident out there and overall I thought they did. Simons took 14 shots and Trent took 12 and expect that out of those two and both could probably shot little better. Hoard look good for his first NBA play. Little looks like he still try to figure it out but his one on one play was decent. They should show the players that already in organization more.

I get that. I'm not worried about wins and losses in the SL. But Simons is on tract to be the backup PG, and I didn't see him display anything close to that. THAT! is a problem. The Blazers have 1 roster spot available, and to me, it better be spent on a TRUE quality backup PG.

Don't they have 2 spots with Layman gone
