Biggie vs Collins, which will have the bigger game?

My money is on Biggie, I bet he bullies the opponent down low.

The Blazers kick off their 2017 Las Vegas Summer League against the Utah Jazz who already have 3 games under their belts going undefeated so far.

Utah has been led by Dante Exum's 20 ppg, 6.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds. Rookie Donovan Mitchell kicking in 15.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds. Eric Griffin, Joel Bolomboy and Julian Wright are all averaging 6 rpg or better.

Portland will counter with their two big first round Draft picks Collins and Swanigan up front with Jake Layman, Pat Connaughton and RJ Hunter as the likely starters.

I'll be looking to see how Collings and Swanigan play defense in a guard oriented league and if their ability to shoot and rebound will translate to this next level. I'd like to see Layman because more confident and somewhat of a do-it-all SF and for Pat to be able to run the team at PG at least a bit.

Almost without a doubt, we will all overreact as is partially the fun of Summer League. FINALLY, basketball is here since we've had nothing in the FA market to talk about.

The Blazers will not be guard oriented. They are here to develop and look at their players, and Pat isn't really a chucker. Layman needs to show something, because he was crap after his hot (very brief) start last year. But I think he has a nice skillset, he's very athletic and light on his feet. I don't know about his shot though..there's something kind of gimpy to it.

I like how they parted their hair to different sides to balance each other out.

Finished picking blueberries early...first day open at the farm...with the Country Fair going on it was easy pickin'....son and daughter in law helped so we filled the freezer....get to follow the game now live! Go Blazers!

What farm do you go to and how much do they charge for the blueberries?

I need to do this, I eat a lot of blue berries

Biggie vs Collins, which will have the bigger game?

My money is on Biggie, I bet he bullies the opponent down low.

Be my guess he's much more NBA ready than Collins.

 

[Trackjack]

Greenhill Blueberry farm off Greenhill Rd heading for the Eugene Airport...one block west of Greenhill Road...forget the road's name...not far west of the railroad tracks....5 gall bucket full is 14 bucks I think...my wife paid this year..last year that's what I paid per bucket..we picked 6 of them and split them with the son and daughter in law. They only open every other Saturday and get there early....about 20 acres of 6 ft tall bushes just loaded with berries.

Can't wait, I'm heading to my local Mexican restaurant to get a few margaritas and some nachos, then I will be full and a little buzzed for this crucial summer league game!

Take a drink every time one of the announcers says the words "Potential" or "Upside"

Word, our championship opportunity lives or dies based off of tonight's game. Players have everything to lose, I hope they understand that!

Can you watch them on a phone with the reddit app?

There will usually be several links to the game in the thread. They usually list wether they are mobile friendly or not. About half of the links usually are.

Yup, good info. I watch them in the browser. Don't even need the app.. My phone is a 3 year old POS running android, and it works great. Sometimes the stream may drop, and you'll have to restart it.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Can't get down to Salem.

Pink whatever? It's Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon.

Just have to say I'm so glad 4 Roses is back... it was my great grandfather's favorite and impossible to find for years...

Go Blazers.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

If Jake Layman doesn't dunk all over some poor bastard from Sioux Falls I'm gonna punch a hole in the wall. Then I'm going to get some real help.

Hey, punching holes in walls is @BonesJones thing. Pick another frustration technique.

 

[PDXFonz]

Almost there! Let's count it down.... 700, 699, 698 697 696 695 694 693 692 691.....

Tired of waiting!

 

[Strenuus]

Game is up on reddit if you haven't seen it yet @dviss1

 

[ripcityboy]

Does PJ ever feed that poor frog in his throat?

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Am I a degenerate for betting on this summer league game? +2. Go Blazers.

 

[PDXFonz]

@dviss1 if you have never used streams before there are two things to remember.

1. Use an adblocker such as AdBlockPro

2. Never under any condition agree to download anything from any of those sites. If something says that your flash player needs to be updated, don't do so from that website. Instead go to the adobe homepage and update flash from them directly. If you still see the message it is because there is nothing wrong with your version of flash, instead they are trying to con you into downloading malicious software.

 

[BonesJones]

So hopefully this game starts at 3:30??

My flight boards at 6:10. Wanted to catch the entire game but... Ugh

 

[Pinwheel1]

Oh so the game is available on the espn app. That makes it easier.
