Game Thread Saturday , July 6th, 12:30 PM PT Blazers vs Pistons on ESPNU

The collective IQ of this group is so incredibly low.

Nas looked decent defensively. Struggled to find his place offensively, much like he did at UNC. Just really doesn't have feel for playing within the flow of an offense.

Anfernee had some great moments on both ends but needs to be more of a leader of there. Tough ask considering the circumstances but it's on him to set the pace and get his guys organized.

 

I'm not at all worried about Nas yet.

This is not the first time we have seen a young guy look shell shocked in their first summer league game.

 

Really most of the rookies haven't exactly lit it up so far...

 

He doesn’t even have a role on the SL team lol this is more on coaching+roster construction of this team. He will be fine once real basketball starts with players not fucking up the flow of games to try and get a contract.

 

They better figure out real quick that the Blazers need a PG because that kid ain't ready. Then they obviously better get another Center with the other open roster spot.
Blazers pinning a little too much hope on an Ant trying to play a mans game.

 

So am i.

 

Don't you know it's the Bunny Ranch now. Mustang has been closed for a while now?

 

I thought Nas looked fine in one on defensive situations, team stuff and being in the right place the whole team was a mess. Offensively was ugly but it looked like they hadn't really practiced plays much (which maybe they hadn't).

I was really impressed with anfernee's ability to move his feet on defense, quickness won't be his problem.

Not sure if I'm on board with you on your last statement, isn't part of playing point guard setting the pace for the team and getting your guys in position, when I played that was always part of my job.
It's one game in SL and I thought Anf looked good overall, I thought Hoard looked like he may be a legit NBA player someday, and Nas just looked like he needs some time to figure things out, but it's one game. Even if that's how they look all of SL it doesn't mean that's how their seasons going to go.

 

There seems to be a whole lot of misunderstanding going on in this post.

But maybe I'm the one misunderstanding.

 

Yeah, I misunderstood. Edited that.

 

Can anyone tell Terry Stotts that the dribble, hand off and pass back is the worst use of time in the shot clock ever? How does this keep happening year after year?

 

Yes, he does.

 

Wow, he really fits perfectly as Dame back up then !!

 

@BonesJones are you at least paying @CupWizier some money or are you living in his head completely rent free ?

 

This shit right here. I was AMAZED with how fast he recovered on D, with side-steps. CRAP! He is VERY fast in that department.

 

Maybe you need to change your sn to A$AP Nasir.

 

A$AP NAS
