Boston is undefeated, going 3-0 in the Las Vegas Summer League thus far.
Portland is 2-2.

Time to give Boston their first loss in Summer League!

 

[TBpup]

Time to give Boston their first loss in Summer League!

With Crabbe out, their back-court is likely to have a field day. This will be a tough game especially given how often the Blazers turn the ball over in spurts.

Clearly it is time to unleash the secret legend weapon which technically is on the roster. Championship or bust.

 

[Natebishop3]

We didn't have Vonleh in our first game. I think this might go differently.

 

[Chris Craig]

We need to shut down Smart and Hunter

I can imagine the look on the Jay Larranaga's face....he'd be crying to the refs that it's not fair

Seriously man!!!! I really want to see him come out and dominate the game. I think he's been locked in the cage for too long! Unleash the Kracken!

Dont you mean unleash the cracker?

 

[Orion Bailey]

I don't see Smart starting the way he did in the first game. Dude was lights out. We are prepped for him this time and we have Vonleh now. We will kick their ass with or without Crabbe

Tell Room Service to wake up Harkless and get him out of the air-conditioned hotel!

 

[Sinobas]

We should suit up Lillard, Leonard, and CJ, and dominate the Celtics!

 

[jlprk]

I can't wait to finally see the true Harkless disspell his reputation from last season and come out smoking. Tonight he will prove that 3 Charlotte head coaches were wrong when they wouldn't play him.

Just chant, "Protected top-55 pick." He'll show us the chip on his shoulder! His nickname will become "Motor Moe."

That just rolled out of my fingers as I typed. I'm running to the copywrite office. That new nickname alone cements my greatness among Blazer fans.

Motor Moe.

I can't believe you missed the more obvious nickname.

Moe-ter.

I like it.

 

[jlprk]

In Moe's thread, I said Blazer history may be, the Roy Era...the Aldridge Era...the Three Stooges Era...

If Harkless plays tonight, I'll be pleasantly shocked. Like breaking a light bulb and touching the electrode. He doesn't sound like the type to play when he doesn't have to, but shock me, Moe!

3 Charlotte head coaches?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

3 Charlotte head coaches?

Forget it, he's rolling.

MRI confirms Allen Crabbe sustained a severe left ankle sprain in last night's game. Expected recovery time is 4-6 weeks.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm okay with that. Was afraid he would be out for season.

 

[jlprk]

3 Charlotte head coaches?

I meant to say Orlando. Jacque Vaughn (15-37), James Borrego (10-20), then Scott Skiles was hired May 29 and traded him.

Charlotte, Orlando, Brooklyn. Gotta keep all these former teams straight.

Crabbe's a SF just like Harkless! It's Moe's time to shine!

You will show up, right, Moe? In uniform?

 

[Scalma]

Wonder what the minute allocations will be tonight. Maybe get to see montero more

 

[riverman]

Better for AC to pack it in ice now than in November...ice ice baby!

Not funny!!

 

[riverman]

Mothra...that's a nickname for Moe

Who's gonna guard Smart? Pat??

Wow poor guy! At least he will be ready for training camp.

 

[Darkwebs]

If we win tonight, we get to face the Spurs on Saturday, the only other team that has beaten us this summer. Let's get payback on these chumps!
