Game Thread SUMMER LEAGUE GAME# 2 - BLAZERS VS HAWKS - JULY 8, 2018 - SUNDAY, 2:30 PM PDT, ESPN2

I couldn't take it anymore and I NEVER tweet.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Collins still makes all the fundamental mistakes on offense he did last year.

And Swanigan

With our world renowned big man coach that shouldn't be....

 

[LuckyShot]

Swanigan is not an NBA caliber player. I have yet to see anything to change my mind on that.

Hater.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It’s Summer League, which is not a big man’s league by any means, but I’m not impressed by Swanigan.

There were some old comparisons of Jake Layman to Chandler Parsons. They’re reasonable comps (unfortunately, that’s the current Parsons, not the Parsons of a few years ago).

 

[andalusian]

Zach Collins is already a fantastic defensive player. Once the offense kicks in, he is going to be trouble

 

[LuckyShot]

Wade is owning Young

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Collins has DPOY potential. His offensive game just needs work.

Simons has a ton of raw potential.

Wade reminds me of Greg Anthony a bit. I like that.

Biggie just doesn't look like an NBA player. I haven't seen anything to change my mind.

Layman is a guy that should be dominating. It's his third summer league. He's going against fringe NBA talent. He should be showing that he's a tier above these guys. Crabbe was significantly better by his third summer league.

 

[Natebishop3]

Hater.

Just my professional opinion.

 

[LuckyShot]

This camera angle is almost unwatchable. If it weren't the blazers I'd turn it off.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Collins has about 6 blocks in the last 5 minutes. I wonder how many the official score keeper has missed.

BNM

Vonleh struggled in the NBA, and he dominated in the summer league. Biggie was supposed to be a similar offensive player, I thought. Just not seeing it. He's too slow and not athletic enough.

I feel like the same thing happened last summer.

 

[Scalma]

FUCK THAT OVERHEAD CAM

He has a nose for the ball. I think he finds the open man pretty well, too. But he just seems too slow on both sides of the ball.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

PapaG is 7-foot of uselessness

I'm not forgiving any of his play, but he is 20 years old.

BNM

Seriously. Somehow they only gave him 3 yesterday. He had that in the first quarter.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I love that our two 19-year old rookies already play with more aggressiveness and more confidence than 26-year old Allen Crabbe.

BNM

I think it would be fine if he could consistently hit the three. Sam Perkins wasn't quick by any means.

How unfortunate for the Brooklyn Nets

Wade is quick.

Totally glad we didn’t sign him to THAT contract....

 

[DameLill379]

Agree with you guys.. that overhead cam is ugly. Wtf are they experimenting with this for lmao? It blows. Move on.

That's not saying much.

Lol...

 

[DUB]

Dame quickly checking RC2 during the timeout.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Trae Young looks like the love child of Delonte West and Adam Morrison.

 

[Natebishop3]

Does anyone really want any camera angle other than the standard sideline shot that shows all the action?

Personally, I hate the behind the action shot. I hate the overhead shot. I just want to watch the boring old sideline shot that allows me to see everything that's happening.

 

[DUB]

We won the first quarter by ten, and lost the second quarter by one.

It's really just our hot thee point shooting in the first quarter that has us ahead, everything else is pretty much even.

If its used every now and then, I like it.
