[Darkwebs]

Final game of the Summer League for the Blazers, and a meaningless one at that, even for Summer League standards.

 

[BonesJones]

Hell yeah. Get to watch Lil Wright and BRUUUUNNNNOOOO

 

[B-Roy]

I just want to see the Vonster vominate.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Summer League has turned into the Special Olympics, everyone gets a trophy.

 

[TBpup]

This is the game where all the players that haven't sniffed playing time get rewarded for putting in practice time.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

This is the game where all the players that haven't sniffed playing time get rewarded for putting in practice time.

So no actual Blazers?

In that case, my interest has also been eliminated.

Or grade school..same thing

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This is the game where all the players that haven't sniffed playing time get rewarded for putting in practice time.

So Dame, CJ, and Leonard?

 

[riverman]

I could see scrapping summer league all together and lengthening training camp. Seems a more valuable way to prep a team for the upcoming season

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Or grade school..same thing

I went to catholic grade school, nuns don't play like that. One trophy, one winner, the rest have to repent for being a loser.

You must have done a lot of repenting as a young lad.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule, I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black. And I held my tongue as she told me, "Son, fear is the heart of love."

So I never went back

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You must have done a lot of repenting as a young lad.

Nah, I was always big and coordinated for my age so I ruled dodge and kickball.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So I never went back

My first grade teacher cured me from being left handed by smacking me on the knuckles with a ruler.

 

[jlprk]

What were you doing with it?

Too easy. Anyway, HARKLESS!

I came here to celebrate Moe! He's still trying to get from the hotel to the gym. He'll make it this time.

 

[riverman]

Dogs have knuckles?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

no Vonleh or Connaghton

 

[oldfisherman]

You've lead a ruff life.

 

[LuckyShot]

no Vonleh or Connaghton

Aww

 

[riverman]

no Vonleh or Connaghton

Good tanking practice

 

[Mediocre Man]

Impressive. I've played basketball so I can say that

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

where is everyone? am i on the right thread? do some guys actually have a life and go somewhere on friday evenings? anyway, i see orton finally realizes he better work a little harder if he wants to make any NBA roster or even Euro. I'm focusing most of my energy on Montero; he does have a flair to him, doesn't he?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I feel sorry for that big white guy on the Blazers. he can't make an open shot

 

[Driew]

I like Montero a lot. With some NBA seasoning we could have a Batum in the making--but with aggression!

 

[riverman]

Montero is doing pretty good

 

[LuckyShot]

Montero tries to put some extra sauce on every move he makes. If I were his coach at this point, I'd be telling him he's not allowed to go behind the back or between the legs more than once. I'm tired of seeing him hand the ball to the other team because he's focused on hot dogging. Prove you can make the simple play first.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Montero > Bruno

 

[BonesJones]

Frazier turnover. I wish I was shocked

 

[TBpup]

Montero has too many turnovers but if his teammates could make an open shot, he would have 6 or 7 assists as well. He has hit or created open teammates quite often but they just keep bricking. I'd like to see what he looks like with players around him that could hit open looks. He does get a little too fancy but a lot of those have found the open man as well. I'm impressed with his shot selection tonight which has been much better.

15 points on 9 shots with 7 rebounds isn't bad. He just has unique instincts that not a lot of Blazers on this years or last years roster have.
