Are the games on the radio? I tried listening last night and it was a national show.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers will have their hands full with the 'other' Jabari and Eason. If they can win, they at least give themselves a chance to play for the SL title.

 

[Scalma]

I wanna see Jabari vs Jabari

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I wanna see Jabari vs Jabari

Would be really interesting to see them go up against each other over an extended series of possessions, see how their respective strengths and weaknesses compare. If Walker is the kind of competitor I suspect him to be, that's precisely the matchup he's itching for.

Also would be interested to see the two LSU forwards matched up against each other.

 

[illmatic99]

I'd just like to remind everyone that I was in on Eason before all y'all .

It's really frustrating that we didn't have the assets to buy back into the first round.

 

[Natebishop3]

Eh, I was talking about wanting him before the draft as well. I loved his potential.

 

[illmatic99]

was just joking. there were a few others who were also really high on him like i was. there were also others who claimed he had terrible BBIQ and mocked him in the lower parts of the first round.

all in all though, summer league projections notwithstanding, i'm really happy with my pre-draft rankings of these guys. i feel like the hours and hours of research i poured into the draft this year was somewhat worthwhile.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I get it now. They found out they got rings if they won after the first game. Should have told them sooner.

Couldn’t we done a S&T with ANT?

I think we had the assets we just didn’t want to.

If Sharpe works out for us then all will be well. If Walker works out too we will be deep.

 

[Chris Craig]

Apparently not

They had been in the past.

 

[PDXFonz]

Is Eron Gordon “Great Value” Aaron Gordon?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Is Eron Gordon “Great Value” Aaron Gordon?

Am I the only one reading his name as "Enron" every time? Quite fitting for him to be on Houston's squad.

 

[THE HCP]

Have not watched one minute of summer league for the first time since they started broadcasting the Salt Lake City summer league in the late 90s. I watched basically the same thing the last 40 games of last season. No thanks FAMS.

I can understand your position as i hated the tank as well, but you are missing something special happening with Jabari Walker. It's been fun to watch that guy.

Lighten up FAMS

 

[tlongII]

Can someone explain to me why Luka Garza starts for us?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Can someone explain to me why Luka Garza starts for us?

Because he had a more recognizable name than Kyle Alexander?

Hopefully he doesn't tomorrow. I want to see a Watford/Walker/Alexander front line against the Rockets.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can someone explain to me why Luka Garza starts for us?

They’re probably trying to see if he’s worth a 2 way….. which he is not.

 

[blazerfan11]

Can someone explain to me why Luka Garza starts for us?

No. I can only explain why he should not be starting.

Jabari Smith: 30 mins, 13.7 pts, 8.3 rebs, 1.7 asts, 2.3 stl, 1.3 blk on 36.6 % FG, 33.3% from 3.
Jabari Walker: 20 mins, 13.0 pts, 8.3 rebs, 1.0 ast, 0.7 stl, 0.7 blk on 68.2% FG, 37.5% from 3.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

If these guys win this and win by enough to actually make the championship game? Then go get the BLING?

How funny would that be?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I better post something or else this page will fall off the map!

Last time we won it, when Coach Moran was coaching, you would see an occasional Summer League Champs t-shirt on the plane . Loved it.

and the season following that SL win.. we went to the conference finals.

The Bling is within reach!

Wow that's pretty impressive. I'd say Walker's stats are better simply because the offense is night and day and more than makes up for the small difference in blocks and the impressive difference in steals.
