    Collins put on 8 lbs of muscle this off season. Nice.

    What did Collins do? Mouth off or something?

    Not a fan of Baldwin's body language. Chill the fuck out and just play basketball. And stop standing around with a stick up your ass and get your hands up on defense.

    Baldwin looking out of synch. Swanigan looking good. I’d didn’t expect that. But that’s summer league.

    Up by two at the half. Two more quarters away from that birth to the championship game.

    Go Blazers!

    Big men almost always struggle offensively for the first 3 years. Defensively he’s already good, I’m extremely happy especially considering how young he is, you can see offensively it’s there just rushing a little and being pushed around. By the way his footwork is damn good which to me is always a concern for a big man.

    Swanny must have heard us talkin'. He's ballin' tonight. Baldwin with his worst half of the SL. Totally pressing early. Got it going late though. Zach, alright, but needs to step it up, especially on defense tonight. I guess Memphis decided they wanted to mimic the "Grind " way to play. Ugly, hand slapping, pulling, and pushing half.

    Baldwin is trying too hard to get back at Memphis. Really presessing and reverting back to bad habits he had at MEM. Terrible body language

    I agree, I think that is his Achilles. Needs to a bit more composure. To me his shot looks forced some.

    We ALWAYS play down to their level. We NEVER use speed or fast breaks against them, we never pass the ball against them.....we always play down to their level.

    I hate our coaching staff.

    For years I have said, McCollum is no Lillard. I have a new one.

    Collins is no Ed Davis.

    Collins is a sieve when any guard wants to slither around him for a layup. He sucks on defense and his shooting range is no farther than Ed's. He dunks well though, because of his height.

    This is why Baldwin has rarely played in regular season.

    Baldwin needs to get his act together. Helter skelter to start the second half. It's like he's trying too hard against his former team. RELAX.

    Jevon Carter is going to be Marcus Smart with a jump shot. Perfect fit in Memphis.

    He is absolutely dogging Baldwin tonight.

    For a guy with a nearly broken jumper, forcing it is the worst thing he could possibly do. Wasn't his attitude a big reason why Memphis cut him?
