    I gotta admit that I almost posted some crap about Vonleh early in the game. Based on his unimpressive summer league and then early in this game, he seemed to be just a little bit in the wrong place all the time and didn't seem to have any touch as far as tipping in rebounds. Still not convinced he is gonna be a player. His main work was done against a very in-experienced rookie and Phoenix never crowded him, which is a situation in which he tends to be very uncomfortable. Hopefully this game gives him some confidence and he can keep getting better.

    Also, Dame. Those pullup 3s from 28' with 20 on the clock... man, not necessary at all.

    Ask Jason Quick. He's the one that reported it on Talkin'Ball.

    Why is everyone on Napier's nuts? The guy is a score first ball hogging, no good defending undersized PG.

    Napier has been solid on D. And if he's in the game with Turner, he should look to score.

    Terrible assessment.

    Damian was probably pissed about the trash talk.

    Okay.... he shot 6-14 last night. I'm fine with that. In the first game he shot 6-12. So by my math, he's 12-26 so far in the preseason, which makes him 46% from the field. That's not that bad :dunno:

    I agree that's very good but tell him to quit those stupid ass pull half court attempts with 20 seconds lefts in the shot clock. That's all we're saying

    I'm fine with him doing it a couple times a game if it's not a bad time. It could be strategic. Keep the defense on their toes.

    I'm on the fence with him doing it to get a 2 for 1 at the end of the quarter.
    I wonder what his % is when he does it, I have no idea how to look it up. But I assume it would be low.

    But he wasn't the only one to take ill-advised 3's early in the lock.
    Turner/CJ/Napier/Lillard all took horrible horrible three's in the game very early in the clock last night.
    So @Tunchi shouldn't just call Lillard out for them. Seems to be coming from Stotts to give them the okay to do this.

    You DO realize that this was against the other team's bench scrubs? Nothing more than a summer league game. Fun to see, but can't really take much from it.

    Better than seeing our bench get destroyed like it has in prior years.
