    Whoever said a Portland rec league could run with our SL roster last thread was so spot on.
    Outside of the two draft picks I've been greatly underwhelmed by the talent level.

    Something I have never understood..... Paul's wealth is less of an advantage for acquiring players because of the salary cap... but why the hell can't he put together the absolute best front office in the history of the game? Why can't he poach the best people from around the league with huge offers? I don't get it.

    #31 for Portland would be benched if I were the coach. Waving Swanigan off and trying to go 1 on 1.

    Of course they are. It's San Antonio. Every scrub in sneakers looks like a star on the Spurs. It's some kind of crazy voodoo.

    Sweet play by Cleveland. Even if both he and the ball clearly went out of bounds right in front of one of the three blind mice reffing this game :)

    Is that Johnson? Yeah he's horrible. Giving me Pierre Jackson flashbacks.

    We have more steals and more rebounds than they do, but we have 5 more turnovers, and their shooting percentages are insane.

    Layman should honestly be waived. I don't see an NBA skillset there.

    Barry on NBAtv just noted that Swanigan plays with poise, like he doesn't have anything to prove. No panic in his game. Interesting way to put it, but yeah - poise.

    Swanigan so far - 17 pts, 12 reb, 1 ast, 2 stls, 1 blk. Solid.

    Johnson trying to defend Forbes reminds me of Jalen Rose trying to stop Kobe from dropping 81 points.

    Bertans tired of getting pushed around by Swanigan.

    So, he takes it out on Gutierriz.
