    Unemployed un-caged Rice is a lowkey good Twitter follow. Barrett doesn't tweet at all anymore.

    Correct, Rice is no longer employed because of his anti lonzo tweets.

    This wasn't a big game. There are no big games in summer league. We had two players from our real roster play tonight - one who will only play in garbage time and the other is a rookie.

    1000000000% of blazers fans agree with Rice. That should matter to the organization

    I know it a summer league game but it still was a championship game. I was seeing if Swanigan and Layman was going to show up. They both did and brought it in the game especially Swanigan what a great stat line for him and Vonleh you better be looking over your shoulder.

    Same as the other games. Shot well. But his defense in the fourth quarter was shit.

    Honestly if our summer league team had one real point guard they probably win the game.

    Our big tandem was completely worn down from carrying the load every night for a week. That had a lot to do with our fade at the end.

    I thoroughly enjoyed rooting for this overachieving team.

    :cheers:

    It pretty much ended like thought. The Lakers had a pretty deep sl team and ran an up tempo offense with a lot of shooters. Walton is definitely using the GS formula.

    But there were only two things I cared about and that was Caleb and Jake and both played well enough to give me hope for playing time next season and beyond.

    So why did Neil take Swanigan over Kyle Kuzma?
