VSL Game 2: Blazers vs Celtics - 5:30 p.m. CSNNW/ESPN2

[Natebishop3]

Tatum is NBA ready too at 19 for fucks sake. Fucking Boston

He was the 3rd pick in the draft... he sure as fuck should be ready for the NBA.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's okay Meyers went 11th and is very fucking good. Imagine the contract Collins will get going into his 5th year if he sucks because Olshey is obsessed with his picks

4 years/120 mil floor

 

[SIeepwalker]

Collins just made a defensive play that Meyers never in his life would make.

He's shown a lot of good stuff on D. But offense has been BAD. I'm not too concern tho, he will develop his body

 

[BigGameDamian]

Layman is a shooter.... that doesn't take three point shots.

When does Neil give Layman his 80 million dollar contact?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

The only good thing ive seen is Collins defense, that is real and tangible NBA skill, everything else just garbage

 

[Natebishop3]

That's a foul? Really? Tatum lowers his shoulder and dislodges Layman, and that's a foul on Layman? Should have been a no-call.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fuck, Layman, stop shooting

 

[Natebishop3]

I would cut Layman and Connaughton tomorrow.

 

[TBpup]

Another nice pass from Jorge.....to a guy who will never play in the NBA that promptly missed the shot. Still a good pass.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck, Layman, stop shooting

That's literally the one thing he's supposed to be able to do.

 

[TBpup]

Collins running the floor well.

 

[LuckyShot]

He was the 3rd pick in the draft... he sure as fuck should be ready for the NBA.

I'd argue that if you're going to spend the 10th pick on a 19 year old, he should be ready for the NBA too, but that's just my personal philosophy on the draft...

 

[A$AP Meyers]

literally every possession pat is doing something inching him closer to the end of his pro basketball career

 

[Natebishop3]

If I was coaching the shit, I would be all over these refs. I would get tossed.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

More ticky tack fouls

 

[H.C.]

I don't understand Jake's shot.
I wouldn't consider him a shooter.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

literally every possession pat is doing something inching him closer to the end of his pro basketball career

Footing. Yarding.

 

[LuckyShot]

That's literally the one thing he's supposed to be able to do.

He can only do it when he's standing still and wide open. Sometimes. Same as Pat. If Layman gets rushed at all or is off balance, he's throwing up airballs or accidentally banking it off the backboard.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'd argue that if you're going to spend the 10th pick on a 19 year old, he should be ready for the NBA too, but that's just my personal philosophy on the draft...

That's my opinion as well. I would feel a lot better about Collins if we had taken him at #15 and still had the 20th to use on someone.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Minor league players get paid dick. I'm glad he got his Blazer contract.

...which is about to expire for good.

 

[H.C.]

ticky-tac foul on BiggE but still a foul.
Okay ref we see you. Let them play.

 

[ripcityboy]

Why does it always seem like we have project players? Or they are working on something in the off season. Why can't we just have somebody come in like Nurk and blow us away?

 

[TBpup]

Pat with a TERRIBLE entry pass into the post. Good grief....smh

 

[42N8Bounce]

I've been impressed with Swanigans defense. Especially his help defense. Very aware out there.

 

[Cippy91]

That's my opinion as well. I would feel a lot better about Collins if we had taken him at #15 and still had the 20th to use on someone.

he probably would of fallen to 15

 

[H.C.]

Great work by BiggE. Deny's the entry past for Tatum. and contests the drive with both hands up.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

He can only do it when he's standing still and wide open. Sometimes. Same as Pat. If Layman gets rushed at all or is off balance, he's throwing up airballs or accidentally banking it off the backboard.

Yeh, he needs to take half of those 1000 shots with someone in his face.

 

[ripcityboy]

Difference in player quality is amazing.

 

[TBpup]

he probably would of fallen to 15

Almost every Mock Draft had him at #12 or higher.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

That's my opinion as well. I would feel a lot better about Collins if we had taken him at #15 and still had the 20th to use on someone.

I still think Jackson/Giles/Swanigan would've been better than Collins/Swanigan
