Fun game to watch in person, but I'm not really sure how much to take away from anybody's performance with no true centers participating. Wes did stand out though.
Bayless should've been player of the game. He completely ran the show for the white team, setting up his teammates in the first three quarters and then scoring when necessary down the stretch. He was the best PG in the building and had the best stats: 12 pts, 6 rebs, 8 assts. Wes was awesome though no doubt. Roy was great and Elliott Williams was impressive. And his pregame dunks were incredible.
Fun game to watch. Roy and Aldridge doing their thing. Wes was amazing, hopefully he can bring this into Tuesday's game. Elliot Williams showed why he was the 2nd best SG in the draft and why he should've been drafted higher. Batum, while off target, was smooth; I expect great things from Batum this year, hopefully. BTW, Quick is a douche. I used to let him get away with it but the guy loves to create needless drama. I wonder if he has Asperger's?
That is just him trying to prove he's drunk. Although it's not any different then any of the rest of his posts, so maybe he's drunk all the time. It sure would explain a lot.
I'm pretty sure there won't be one -- at least one that gets published. Here's a quick rundown of what I can remember from the game Matthews 17 points on 7/11 shooting (3/4 on 3 pointers) Roy 15 points on 6/9 shooting (2/3 on three pointers) Rudy 9 points on 3/6 shooting from beyond the arc. Bayless 12/6(rbds)/8(asts) on 3/4 shooting and some end of game fouls shots Williams 11 points 6 boards and a couple of nasty dunks Batum 8 points a couple of steals, a nice breakaway dunk, some nifty passes and mostly cold shooting from outside Aldridge 12 points, 9 boards and a couple of assists, with a mix of post moves and fadeaway jumpers in about 24 minutes (against Pendergraph) Other than that, nobody else really stood out
Here ya go, figure this out. The game went fast because of 10-minute quarters, and because the clock was left on between possessions and during free throws.

At 5:27 he (I think it's Jaynes) says that at this time a year ago, Aldridge was mad about his contract being unsettled, so he didn't do any work. Quick, sitting next to him, is silent about how he kept this secret by never disclosing it. The Oregonian is selective about which players it picks on.
Roy and Matthews look like they're already good buddies. Perfect signing, Matthews is an excellent utility guy.
Let's keep it in perspective. It was good to see Wes doing what he did, but it was a scrimmage. He was brought in for defense and hustle and will probably be the 8th option on offense. It was good to see him hit that 3 though. We'll need it with no Marty and possibly Rudy.
