    That Smith guy pretty much ensured he'll never be paid to play basketball again.

    Montero shows good court awareness in finding the open man. Very smooth and created a lot off good looks for teammates that won't show up in the box score because they kept missing.

    I honestly don't think Pat makes it through camp. Neil had to be watching these games. What else can he learn?

    Russ Smith thinks he's going to impress people by showing he's a 6' tall, 25 year old PG who chucks crappy shots and misses them repeatedly.

    The mindset doesn't make sense to me....

    You're out there with a handful of NBA guys that you know the club is trying to assess. As a point guard, wouldn't you make it your mission to feed those guys the ball in scoring position?

    Layman, Vonleh, Montero, Connaughton.... why wouldn't you try to get them the ball and make them look as good as possible?

    But nooooooooo..... Smith thinks that chucking every time down the floor is going to impress a team.

    Are we gonna have to cut another guy? If so, and it comes down to Pat and Luis, I really hope we cut Pat.

    Depends on whether we're bringing back Alexander or bringing in someone else.

    Right now we're at 15.

    I thought the whole reason we were keeping him was he had a decent shot? Seriously, he must really love basketball because he's screwing himself out of another career.

    It is painful to watch. I know Napier barely practiced, and then got hurt. But do they run an offense? Do the Blazer coaches even care? Seems like it is all one on one.

    I believe so.

    Dame
    CJ
    ET
    Aminu
    Ezeli

    Crabbe
    Harkless
    Davis
    Plumlee
    Leonard

    Montero
    Vonleh
    Connaughton
    Layman
    Napier

    Cliff would be 16.

    I'd rather have Alexander than Connaughton. I thought pat would be improved but naw he's just as bad. He should just go play baseball and give this bball thing a rest.

    He posted a picture of her on her 25th birthday. She's cute as heck, but HCP has better game than CJ in at least one respect.

    I've seen the Russ Smith play book. It's a mirror.
