    The Summer League Champs play better together than with the starters.

    If we lose out like we did last season we are guaranteed a share of the 5th best odds in the draft.

    What more could we ask for? The loss helped our lottery chances but we got to see a great game from our future star, Sharpe and Little played his best all around offensive game. Got to watch Eubanks block 6 shots. Management got to keep evaluating Knox and Reddish; I would say Reddish down (team worst -22), Knox maybe up a little (3 for 6 from 3 and 5 rebounds in 15 minutes).

    Saying this for years
    Shae was great until his last shift when it looked like the spotlight was too much for him at this point.

    Reddish looks like the perimeter version of Nurk -- he has a really good game or does something crazy good to make you think you've got something, then he's unengaged and gets lazy with the basketball and on defense and you want him on any team but yours.

    Billups ... pffft ... throwing the young guys out there to play is one thing. Throwing them out there to play and not appearing to get any meaningful instruction is detrimental to their development. I know we see him talking to guys, but whatever he's saying doesn't seem to stick. We had a stretch their in the middle of the 4Q where our offense didn't seem to have any clue what it was trying to do and he never called timeout to settle them down. I know he's going to be back next year and that's going to be wasted time until he gets the axe 30 games into the season.

    fun game + strategic loss = best outcome

    it also showed Shaedon that he really needs to work on his handles and court vision this summer

    dame lillard buzzer beater to end the series and break that team was the best thing that has ever happened to that franchise (along with sam presti)

    what a quick recovery theyve made, they have chet holmgren and a lot of picks to build the team (they probably have the brightest future in the nba)

    I enjoyed this game much, much more than most of the regular season games with the "regulars"

    Didn’t lillard miss free throws that would’ve gotten him 60 one time? This comment is dumb lol

    Dan Marang needs to learn to ask post game questions instead of long winded statements that end with him asking if Chauncey agrees with him....just ask the fucking question.

    Sharpe needs to work intently this offseason on his handle and I could see him making huge strides.

    He's on the Mount Rushmore of insufferable and unbearable to listen to sports guys. Him and Jaynes. Just truly awful.

    Good to know you're switching allegiances and quit on the team. We knew it, but thanks for confirming.
