VSL Game 1: Blazers vs Jazz (3:00 Pacific, CSNNW)

[TBpup]

For all the foul trouble we were worried about with Collins, he ended up with 3.
Swanigan had 7 fouls but a solid 16 points, 13 rebounds and a block.
Collins with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Nice duo....just need to shoot better.

 

[Sinobas]

Zach really down on himself after the game, saying he played terrible.

It's one meaningless summer league game BUT Collins does control his body language. That's a pet peeve of mine. And good lord don't dribble the ball anymore.

PS this is a weird weird post game interview.

 

[TBpup]

Collins called his first game "terrible, just didn't play well". He complemented the team effort.

He did play terrible and he should adjust his approach next game and not sulk.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Blazers end the Jazz 3-game winning streak. 1-0 to start.

We-ell - to be fair, they did that with Dante Exum scoring in the 20s a game. He was their best player in Utah.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Damn. That interview with Collins was rough

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I am more encouraged with Collins's blocks than I am discouraged by anything else about his game.

That's good, im tired of Meyers' "I think i played well" bs.

 

[calvin natt]

Damn. That interview with Collins was rough

Literally thought he was going to cry

 

[Sinobas]

He really just lost the ball a lot. There were some bad passes and defensive fouls that contributed to that, but some of it was on him as well.

 

[Sinobas]

I hope he bounces back strong tomorrow.

Quick tried lol

Most of it was on him, he looked like a regular ol Gonzaga big out there. Nothing he did showed he was a top 10 pick in my opinion. He looked like a first rounder body wise but his conditioning was embarrassing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Played well: Swanigan, Guttierez.
Started disastrously but improved over the game: Pat C.
Reverse: Layman
Did fine for a kid: Collins
Should find work elsewhere: Hunter, the Pat of the first half
Showed flashes: Markel Brown

 

[Trackjack]

Well Collins not to bad 10pts 7 Reb alternate shots at the rim. I got him with 4 blocks. He does have to get stronger but almost every rookie has to that in there career. Swangen 16 and 13 1 block real nice job. Layman good 1st half not much in the 2nd. Overall pretty sloppy game but a win is a win.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Dear Zach, enjoy your meals for the next two years:

Bon appetite .

 

[Trackjack]

Things about Collins he really battle in the 2nd half. It good that he knows he can play better nothing wrong at least he wasn't making any excuses.

 

[Sinobas]

I don't remember Zach missing 10 shots, I just remember him losing the ball a lot. Did he really miss that many, or were they counting that stuff as misses?

 

[Natebishop3]

I told you guys not to expect too much from Zach in his first game. I thought he did well.

 

[Sinobas]

Meyers should really be playing in SL after the season he had last year. Just prove you belong in the NBA by dominating SL

 

[Trackjack]

Another thing I see Collins do he didn't try to avoid contact. But the thing we didn't have the best guard play either for our bigs it got better in the 2nd but the 1st half it was really bad.

You really think he could dominate summer league ?

 

[Sinobas]

Karl Anthony-Towns summer league debut at 19 years of age:
4-10 from the field 9 fouls, 4 turnovers, 3 rebounds and 1 block in 32 minutes.

Fun venue. Good access to players.

I've been to summer league about 5 times in the past, but I've never seen it this packed. Massive amounts of people here this year.

I've got tix for tomorrow too. Looking forward to the next game!
