    Our summer league team now has more fast break points today than the Blazers will have all season.


    Seriously, the player and ball movement has been awesome.

    Yeah, but think about how many of those assists have been in transition? it feels a little bit like fools gold to me as far translating it to the regular season ... but hey, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

    The summer league team looks good. I'm very happy with how Babbit looks.

    Mills is the guy making this fast break work. Bayless and Rudy need to go to make room for him and Johnson.

    Certainly they're not CP3 like assists, but he's making the right decisions on the break and putting his teammates in good positions to score. It's a positive just to see that in his game.

    OK, nobody is hitting when Armon passes to them, but that guy can pass!

    It's encouraging that he's the one who's MAKING these transitions happen, but I agree this won't be happening under Nate ball.

    The best thing I've seen about Armon so far is that he drives to pass, not shoot.

    Does the producer realize that we don't know these names, so we need continuous play-by-play, not filler talk and interviews while we're trying to watch the game?

    I honestly believe Johnson has better vision than Mills.
