    On 2 assists Trent literally make a basic swing pass and then Robinson created for himself. Does that mean Trent wasn't chucking?

    Those fucking announcers just babbled on and on about any stupid opinion they could think of like they were in a radio booth filling time on a syndicated call in show. Portland v Utah on the floor, so they spent 10 minutes talking about NYC. And Houston. And whatever hypotheticals they could dream up.

    Why are summer league broadcasts so fucking horrible? Here's a clue, dumbasses: The only people watching the game are hardcore fans who want some PLAYER EVALUATION and actual basketball insights. I don't give a single shit what you fuckers would do if you had $100 million.

    He's not a bust. He's an athletic project. We can talk bust his third season in the league. He hasn't even had his first.

    Simon's still needs at least one full year behind them. He'll get enough minutes to develop, and he'll more than make up for Curry's offense.

    Because it's his nickname. He is @antsimons on Instagram and it's what his teammates and friends call him.

    I seen nice pass to Simons for a dunk and really don't matter what kind pass you give a guy to get a assist does it. I don't call anybody shooting a chucker if that a the case then Simons must be a chucker too. Hell Dame and CJ must be chucker too. I agree Simons was hot and shot more then
    Your right about that!

    Trent shoots like shit when his shot selection is shit. Which is most of the time.

    He shoots well when he's open and facing the basket.

    Needs more patience, team mind set, and let the game come to him, as they say.

    No question Simons is a scorer and he can replace Curry.

    One or two good passes were the outlier. He forced many shots and circled chucked like crazy. Dame makes the right play. CJ chucks but hes also a much better scorer than Trent.

    Why call him "Dame", there is no E is Damian. Maybe we should just call him what Westbrick calls him...

    The aspect I really like about Anfernees game, that he already is better at than Lillard, is he pushes the pace.
    As soon as he gets the ball, BAM, he's gone like a wildcat up the court, instantly putting pressure on the opponents defense.

    Hope the Blazers system doesn't train that out of him.

    Size isn't just length and height. At this point he is still trying to get strong enough to hold his own. Not saying he won't. What i'm saying is i feel he is not ready yet and the Blazers need to be thinking about a backup point guard that can contribute right now.

    Dame talks up everyone. Would you like me to dig up certain statements he made about Meyers, Jake, PatCon, Frazier, Bazz?
    I still don't think he will be much more than rotational but lets hope he becomes a star.
    Then there is the issue about raw and trying to win right now. I feel the Blazers need a solid ball handling back up PG. Simons doesn't look ready at all to me.
