Summer League Game Two: Blazers vs Lakers

[PapaG]

Is it just me or do Lillard's arms look bigger?

I noticed that too. Dame looks jacked.

 

[BlazerBeav]

They're making summer league more boring than usual.

 

[PapaG]

I think I see why Robinson has bounced around: he has hands of stone.

Not his best performance. He needs to calm down and let the game come to him. He looks nervous and ahead of himself.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

14-0 Lakers run. Ugh.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

17-0

 

[PapaG]

They're making summer league more boring than usual.

Who are these scrubs, and why are they playing more than token minutes?

 

[VenomXL]

This squad is turrrrible.

 

[PapaG]

Who is Strickland, and why is he on the court?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

21-2 run. Jesus, I'm ready to waive most of this team. Starting with Joel. He tries hard, but he's just a scrub. Too small, not athletic enough. If you combined Joel and Leonard you might have a bench player.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Who is Strickland, and why is he on the court?

The same could be said of that whole unit minus Freeland. Sheesh.

 

[PDXKass]

that was a horrible end of the half. got to handle the ball better; not allow the Lakers to get easy baskets.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Robinson does not look as good as most of the scrubs out here. Boy, Kostas better not turn out to be good.

 

[PapaG]

The same could be said of that whole unit minus Freeland. Sheesh.

The actual players who need minutes to develop are on the bench, and the Laker team goes on an insane run.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Who are these scrubs, and why are they playing more than token minutes?

Most of them are at least as good as the "name" players.

 

[illmatic99]

CJ needs a PG out there. Hell, the rest of the team needs a PG there.

 

[PapaG]

that was a horrible end of the half. got to handle the ball better; not allow the Lakers to get easy baskets.

I've seen better PG play during pick-up games at 24 Hour Fitness.

 

[B-Roy]

Man, TRob is really more of a project than I thought. He does one thing right now and that's rebound. He's bad at everything else.

 

[illmatic99]

Is it just me or do Lillard's arms look bigger?

Definitely thought that too.

 

[PapaG]

Most of them are at least as good as the "name" players.

Not today. Cedric Jackson and that Strickland guy are just horrible.

 

[PDXKass]

I've seen better PG play during pick-up games at 24 Hour Fitness.

ouch. that's just not good.

 

[PapaG]

Man, TRob is really more of a project than I thought. He does one thing right now and that's rebound. He's bad at everything else.

He is missing easy shots at the rim. It's frustrating to watch. He needs to just calm down and hit the bunnies.

 

[illmatic99]

Although both are listed at 6'3 , CJ definitely looks taller than Dame

 

[Further]

Wtf, had to take off for a bit, come back and this shit is what I find? I blame all you jive ass tools for spreading bad mojo.

 

[B-Roy]

He is missing easy shots at the rim. It's frustrating to watch. He needs to just calm down and hit the bunnies.

He's bobbing passes and getting stripped because he keeps bringing the ball down.

As for missing easy shots, I'm thinking finishing is an issue for him. He had trouble finishing at the rim last season as well.

Season over.

 

[VenomXL]

Nice spin move by Robinson. He dumps it to Leonard whose hook shot hits the side of the backboard.

 

[PDXKass]

Season over.

oh no you di-in't! :MARIS61:

 

[PDXKass]

has Meyers been hanging out at a tanning salon?

 

[PapaG]

I've seen enough from CJ to know he's going to be a solid NBA contributor. I also like what I've seen from Crabbe.

Leonard and Robinson are just so raw, though.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Season over.

In all honesty, at the minimum, 4 players on this team right now will be getting major minutes in the regular season.
