    Because you are insinuating that Roy was a one-dimensional scorer like Lamb. There was so much more to his game. But you are correct, both suck at defense.

    No, im stating that most shooting guards only play one end of the floor. I never said anything about lamb or anyone for that matter being one dimensional scorers.

    Ok I think I see where the confusion is. When I said "score and that's it" I meant that they're only interested in offense. I should have said "offense and that's it"... but I never attributed that to Roy. I only said that he wasn't a very good defender, which you agree with.

    I like how Mickzagger is just making stuff up about Lamb to make himself feel better

    Comcast pays for the right to show Blazers games, and the NBA owns those rights.

    People (whether our fellow posters or not) who refuse to pay for what's owned by others are thieves. It's ridiculous to think that the NBA or Comcast are stealing summer league games.

    Thanks Fez. Does he look ready to at least hold his own on O as a starter? I expect ups and downs, but does he look like he look ready?

    From the little bit I saw, he looks like he will be able create for himself. When he tried to create for others, his mates looked mostly inept, so he just tried to do everything. This was late in the game, and like I said, I missed most of the game but will watch later.

    MZ's got a pretty good handle on kids coming through college. He can get defensive and times, but he sticks with his picks through the ups and downs and knows who will transition from college to the NBA as well as anyone on this board, so I give him props.

    Lillard looked pretty good. He shot the ball very well from deep, had a couple dunks, and a nice And-1. He also missed a couple chip shots around the rim that he expected to make and from what I've seen, I would expect him to make more times than not.

    He's shown to be slightly loose with the ball out on the perimeter when getting trapped and likes to try to dribble through the double team, and it led to some turnovers tonight. He doesn't seem that interested in rebounding, but nobody on the team was that interested either.

    Lillard has a lot of tools that could make him a special player.
