Game Thread SUMMER LEAGUE GAME# 3 - SPURS VS BLAZERS - JULY 10, 2018 - TUESDAY, 1:00 PM PDT, NBATV & WATCHESPN

[LuckyShot]

Swanigan sadly offers nothing outside of effort on the boards

 

[LuckyShot]

Looking for growth from the players at SL
Didn't have a lot of tools for FA
Looking to trade market to bolster our "top 9" (prediction--this is him setting up an excuse for why he doesn't use the TPE)
Playoffs were bad matchup, injuries to Moe/Turner played a part.

So yeah, typical BS.

Yeah, exactly what everyone knew he'd say...

Thanks!

He also sets a mean screen.

 

[andalusian]

Nice change of pace from WB4.

 

[Darkwebs]

Those Blazers summer league jerseys are fresh

 

[LuckyShot]

He also sets a mean screen.

That can be a negative if you're so bad offensively that your man just double teams the guy you screened for. See: Ed Davis pick and rolls in the playoffs.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I have to admit, I am unreasonably amused by these "starters" guys talking about the TV show Blossom.

mentioned ET and not Baldwin for passing in the 2nd unit.
Mentioned getting a vet, again.

 

[BBert]

I think he's trying to prove he can score in this league.

It's a summer league tradition

Part of summer league is it gives players a chance to experiment and work on things and stretch their abilities. In college it sounds like he was mostly a spot up shooter. He's going to have to be able to get some of these shots off in the big leagues, so now is the time to work on it. I just thought his shot selection was iffy in the first two games, but hey, it's summer league.

 

[BBert]

Trent and Anfernee look like they could be real nice picks.

I'm bullish on both

 

[James lamphear]

Gary shot selection be good and knocking it down so far good game for him

 

[rotary111]

Lonnie Walker looks like he could be a good player. We need to now include him in any Kawhi trades.

Even if they insist of getting Meyers?

 

[andalusian]

Simons has active hands on defense

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This guy from the Starters sounds like Doris Burke

 

[LuckyShot]

Rolling them up now.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Baldwin 4 blocks and 3 rebounds from a 5x5 game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Caleb has decent court vision for a PF

 

[Labinot41]

Wow swanigan is a big turnover Machine

 

[LuckyShot]

Damn, Wade.

 

[andalusian]

Baldwin!

 

[LuckyShot]

Jenkins giving Baldwin all kinds of easy assists.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Jenkins has some game!

 

[Darkwebs]

Jenkins giving Baldwin all kinds of easy assists.

Or Baldwin giving Jenkins all kinds of easy shots

 

[LuckyShot]

Jenkins has some game!

Not much outside of hitting open spot up jump shots, but he does that very well.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Wade has 10 assist already. and 4 steals

 

[Darkwebs]

Baldwin doing a good job of finding the open man

 

[SIeepwalker]

Wtf they didn't give Wade an assist on that Trent 3 ?

 

[LuckyShot]

Or Baldwin giving Jenkins all kinds of easy shots

Well.. both ways I guess lol. But open outside shots are easy to come by in summer league and Jenkins is automatic on them. I'm nitpicking, but I'd now like to see Baldwin run some pick and roll efficiently. He's passed just about all tests this far.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wtf they didn't give Wade an assist on that Trent 3 ?

If Trae Young made the pass they would have.
