    So no Grant or Ant at SL? No biggie or something to it?

    Kris on offense isn't so great but I'm loving Kris on defense

    Blazers PG don’t know how to use pick and roll with Clingan

    They couldn't get one decent point guard that doesn't want to shoot every shot?

    Never. It's summer league tradition.

    I get that these guys are trying to make a team but this Kennedy dude really needs to pass the damn ball.

    There's probably open communication between the front office and their reps. They know they aren't likely to be in their long-term plans and could get moved this summer.

    Damn it again. The little guards ball hogging making the game painful to watch.

    Please immediately release 1 for 6 Kennedy Chandler. At Half-time. Don't wait.

    Both teams are playing HARD on D, and are also pretty inept on O

    Can’t wait to see Clingan play with the real Blazers. I want to see that Ayton and Clingan front line too

    that Herscu coach should instruct his little guards to give up the ball at the earliest possible moment after they bring the ball across the court. That's where their skill sets seem to end.

    He has 3 assists also but I don't think he can stay in the league unless he starts making open threes.

    Horrible guard play. Turnovers and ball hogging. Nobody can throw an entry pass. Clingan and McGowens are the only bright spots. Murray and Rupert's defense as well.

    Minaya is solid again as well. 2-3 on threes with good defense.

    Really excited to see Clingan with someone that can actually run a pick and roll

    Proof that the Blazers don't need the little guards to run good offense and get a high-percentage shot. I think it was Murray to Clingan to Minaya.
