Game Thread SUMMER LEAGUE GAME# 3 - SPURS VS BLAZERS - JULY 10, 2018 - TUESDAY, 1:00 PM PDT, NBATV & WATCHESPN

lol

 

Gary Trent is better than PatCon

 

Only caught the last 3 minutes, but the refs were definitely swallowing whistles late - SA was all over our guys.

 

Is Baldwin as good as his stats have indicated?

 

That was mostly an all game thing.

 

He's been very solid.

 

BETTER!

 

Who was the better IV - Walker or Baldwin?

(Has that ever happened in the NBA before?)

 

Funny take.

 

Reading this thread: so many people hate to say Caleb sucks but bravely force themselves to anyway.

 

IV the Record it’s Wade by a long shot

 

Funny response.

 

Also took 5 more shots than anyone else.

 

All his shots were good shots though.

 

Game 3 thoughts:

Baldwin - is contributing in a big way every game. 16/2/9 with 5 steals and is not shooting 50% from '3' for SL And again, whomever he was guarding had a poor shooting night.
Layman - is 7-9 from '3' in his last two games and 8-13 (.615) overall. 15 points, 8 rebs, a block and a steal. Filling up the stat sheet every night.
Swanigan - still can't finish to save his life (2-10) but is rebounding and passing well. (9/5) But the turnovers....
Simons - off night shooting 4-13. Still doesn't have 1 assist in three games so far. I know he's used to being the man but learn to give it up.
Trent - Speaking of not giving it up, Machine Gun Trent got up 17 shots in 25 minutes. 4-8 from '3' but also no assists and was a -13.
Jenkins - And in the player no one is paying any attention to, JJ is shooting 13-17 (a whopping .765) so far in three games played.

Still, a nice win especially without Collins who hopefully is back for the SL playoffs.

 

I agree for the most part. After watching the highlights and the last two games live:
Baldwin: really want to see him get some major minutes this year. His defense and aggression would be very welcome. The fact that he can run an offense and do a bit of everything makes him a player. Personally I want to see him supplant CJ at some point (unlikely, but I can dream);
Layman: looks like he should, but really want to see him do that in real games. He would be so valuable as a SF or stretch 4 off the bench.
Swanigan: ugh. If he was playing in the rotation I would hope he would rebound, play defense and pass, and maybe shoot the three. If he's under the basket: 1) don't pass it to him; 2) if he gets the ball under the basket pass it out. If he does that he could be a backup point center.
Simons: Looks comfortable out there. Glad he has time to learn the game. I think he could be CJ with better defense down the road.
Trent: as many have said, Crabbe with a more aggressive take.

 

What happened to them being on espn2?
Crap shits!!!!!

 

I really thought we were going to be all about the bigs in the summer league this year? It's been all Layman and the guards so far. Zachs impact has been mostly on the defensive side.

 

Better. Stats don't show defense. He shut down Trae Young game 2.

In game 3, the (SA) announcers were all over Lonnie Walker's jock. Walker did look like an interesting prospect, but did not fill the stat sheet and only finished 5-13. Baldwin guarded him once. He tried to go around Baldwin, get into the paint, and score. Baldwin blocked his shot.
