The Woj dick sucking is out of control.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Am I crazy for thinking Simons could play right away?

I think he can and will

 

[KingSpeed]

Am I crazy for thinking Simons could play right away?

He looks really good

 

[Natebishop3]

Simons is going to be good.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I didn't do ANYTHING.

Actually you did, you completely ruined a game thread. You take EVERY disagreement, no matter how small, way too personally. Make your point and move on. Don't drag it out for 20 pages and start it up again completely unprovoked the next day.

PapaG is horrible.

 

[Natebishop3]

"Nothing better than the sky cam."

No. Just no.

 

[DameLill379]

Simons has a beautiful jumper, good footwork on defense and raw scoring instincts and he never even went to college!!!

I’m really excited about him.

I know I keep saying it but he keeps giving me a reason to.

 

[SIeepwalker]

PapaG.....

 

[Labinot41]

Papa G hook shot from the free throw line. Thats all what i need to know about him...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This group is gonna give up the lead

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well good news is that we know it will Papa that doesn't make the roster.

I bet he closed his eyes too.

 

[julius]

Caleb shouldn't be asked to dribble, and in most cases, play.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can kinda see why McDaniels has been on so many teams. Super athletic, but doesn't really seem to have a good feel for the game.

Dude. You don't get it. People take it personally when I say one bad thing about Swanigan, and call me out over it. I defend myself. HOW do I start that? I ask what post(s) were the problem, nobody pointed anything out. Yet yall still think I'M the one who caused everything. I'm fed up with being called doubt over the prettiest crap then BLAMED for it.

I'm done talking about it. If you don't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it. Conversation over. If nobody wants to talk about it, then don't mention it. Simple.

 

[Blazinaway]

He looks really good

I like what I see so far from him, big disappointment is Caleb, slow and pondering with hand of stone inside and shot gets easily blocked, oh well

 

[Natebishop3]

The toughest part about SL is that I just want to watch Wade/Simons/Trent/Collins/Layman/Caleb. That's it. The rest of them are...... just not worth watching.

 

[BonesJones]

How is that not a shooting foul?

 

[Pinwheel1]

He definitely played well. That was my point. He SHOULD be dominating at this point.

Although if you had Aminu or Harkless out there in summer league... would they dominate? I don't think they would. But yes I agree this is his 3rd summer, so it is now or never. But I don't think he needs to dominate. Just needs to look good. Having a PG like Baldwin sure helps these guys though. Less scrambling to get into the offense like years past.

 

[Labinot41]

Should we already give up on Swanigan? I don't belive he will be a nba player

 

[julius]

watching PapaG play basketball is like watching me play basketball. It should only be done with your eyes closed and without the sound on.

I think Harkless might be able to. Aminu...... not sure. But neither of them are really shooters like Layman. They're spot up guys. They need a point guard. Layman should be able to get his own buckets. He is filling the role that Crabbe did. Can spot up, can catch and shoot off a curl. Can dribble and pull up.

Is that like you also have a face for radio and a voice for print?

Yeah remember when we just had to sign this guy as a free agent?

Yeah, I get it. You can NEVER let anything go. Fine, you win. I'm out. Time to put the tablet down and just watch, and enjoy the game. Thanks for reminding me why I rarely participate in game threads.

It's Monday morning here, so my only libation is coffee. I really need something stronger to make it through a whole summer league game.

I remember when we were bummed that Houston got him.
