[Jailblazers7]

I'll probably watch the Philly game but none of the others.

[Rekindled]

atdhe has all the games

[PowerGlove]

magic dropping to 0-2, orton will continue to look like shit

magic dropping to 0-2, orton will continue to look like shit
Orton's shot contesting has been impressive to me. Reminds me Diop a lot. Jerome Randle is getting worked by Sundiata Gaines.

[Grinder]

Now Orton has let Koufos drop 7 points on him in the first 5 minutes...

[Rowe]

Now Orton has let Koufos drop 7 points on him in the first 5 minutes...
:lol

[kurple]

magic dropping to 0-2, orton will continue to look like shit
I'd still do JR -4- Orton & Bass

[Se]

How's Hayward going?

[Posterize246]

Jamareo Davidson looking like Brian Grant out there w/ the hair and mid range jumper :oldlol:

[alexthegr8]

Jerome Randle is getting worked by Sundiata Gaines.

I love Jerome, but he's not an NBA player IMO. He's a complete liability defensively, and he's not especially quick for a smaller pg. Not a good combination.

[Posterize246]

You can tell he's forcing offensively too. He messes up on one possession and feels he has to make up for it with something on his next time up, but just messes up again. Not letting the game come to him but that's expected from a lot of summer league guys just trying to impress somebody.

[twolvesfan]

Orton is horrible again.:ohwell:

[Jailblazers7]

Hayward with the big 3 to extend the lead. The Magic look totally unorganized as a team.

[HylianNightmare]

magic dropping to 0-2, orton will continue to look like shit


:oldlol: this man knows what he was talking about.

orton really looks horrible out there, and randle doens't look comfortable at all, ewing jr has been our leading scorer both games...:lol

[brooks_thompson]

is there an ibaka injury update?

[gutterballer733]

pargo for the win!

[ProfessorMurder]

Damn it, I'm going to miss the games because of class. I can't f*cking watch in class either, I'm posting on my break. F*CK.

[Jailblazers7]

Philly off to a slow start. Tony Gaffney is playing well.

[GOBB]

Philly off to a slow start. Tony Gaffney is playing well.

Hell yeah, slow start indeed. That Lafyette kid isnt bad. Just broke Jrue ankles.

[Grinder]

Gaffney defended James Harden well yesterday and has really started off with the clamps on Evan Turner. Looks like he moves his feet well.

[Jailblazers7]

Hell yeah, slow start indeed. That Lafyette kid isnt bad. Just broke Jrue ankles.

Jrue just got his revenge. He is so damn good on D.

[Grinder]

Both Gaffney and Lafayette were told when they signed with the Celtics last year before the playoffs that they'll make the team if they have strong showings in SL. Both looking good right now.

Gaffney was the last cut on the Lakers last year.

[dbugz]

The Gaffney guy from the Celtics roster can play ball and dude is a good defender. I'm impressed with the way these guys are playing there :pimp:

[Jailblazers7]

They do look pretty sharp. You can tell they got some quality experience from practicing with the Celtics.

Edit-- Damn, Cedric Simmons.

[GOBB]

I love Jrue when he hesitate then takes it to the hoop and finishes. :bowdown:

[Jailblazers7]

Lafayette can't guard Jrue.

[Jailblazers7]

Harangody has the ugliest jumper.

[ProfessorMurder]

Harangody has the ugliest jumper.

Yeah it's pretty bad, is he making them today like yesterday?

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah it's pretty bad, is he making them today like yesterday?

No I think he is like 1-7 from the field or something. :oldlol:

He did make a corner jumper (foot was on the line so it was a 2).

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Nice and 1 from Parakhouski

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Lafayette can't guard Jrue.

D leaguer vs top 20 pick with 1 year NBA experience :confusedshrug:

[ProfessorMurder]

Alright, he was draining them yesterday and looked awesome.

[GOBB]

D leaguer vs top 20 pick with 1 year NBA experience :confusedshrug:

Celtic fan defending a Celtic player? :confusedshrug:

Anyway, Speights just got embarrased with the pump fake by Harangody. Get your head out your ass. Who on Boston can guard you? Go to work. Damn.

[Grinder]

Gody's 2-7 for but still has 9 points and 9 boards.

Can't believe Speights bit so badly on that pump fake. :lol

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah Harangody is having one of those dirty ass tough games everyone expects him to have.

I have no clue why Speights would go for the pump fake. He's just dumb as hell sometimes. He's been unimpressive so far.

[Jailblazers7]

D leaguer vs top 20 pick with 1 year NBA experience :confusedshrug:

Yeah, don't care.

[broy]

I still can't get how Turner picked at #2.

[BigTicket]

Harangody with 11/11 in less than 20 minutes going against Speights. Very solid work.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Gody has a double double. 11 and 10

Edit: 11/11 then maybe :lol beat to it

[Grinder]

At this rate, Mo will be battling Jason Smith for minutes. :lol

Obviously kidding, but Mo should be dominating. There's no reason he should be getting outplayed by Cedric Simmons and getting worked by Luke Harangody.

[dough]

I still can't get how Turner picked at #2.
What is it you don't get? Dude is a great, smart all round player. Seeing as you're a fan of Roy, you might appreciate his game...?

[InspiredLebowski]

Rot in f*cking hell Jim O'Brien. Dude is killing McBob. Why's it gotta be the 3 eh? Why can't it be a midrange 16 footer that doesn't take him completely out of the offense.

Next time I see O'Brien I'm punching him in the face.

[Posterize246]

What is it you don't get? Dude is a great, smart all round player. Seeing as you're a fan of Roy, you might appreciate his game...?
He doesn't get that he hasn't averaged 25 ppg in these first 2 summer league games. Gotta love the ISH summer league scouts, where Derrick Rose is a bust and Donte Greene is a hall of famer.

[InspiredLebowski]

I don't know if there's a day 4 thread somewhere, but I ain't lookin for it.

Harangody's playing with a busted face. That's how we raise em in the Heartland.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Nailed a couple of jumpers there. I love Gody, may well get some good minutes whilst Perk is out.

[InspiredLebowski]

WTF Stephenson, get up

edit: he looks ok, looks like just a knee to the thigh. Also, gotta love McBob's solid white slipons

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I'm sure he's done that like 2 or 3 times already this week. Who does he think he is, Paul Pierce?

We're playing really well, I like it.

[Grinder]

Lebowski's guy Chris Kramer gets in an puts in layup right away and then proceeds to get posterized by big Slava Kravstov. :oldlol:

[InspiredLebowski]

Lebowski's guy Chris Kramer gets in an puts in layup right away and then proceeds to get posterized by big Slava Kravstov. :oldlol: Yeah but he was in the play, at least he didn't run out of the poster!

Magnum P.F. Rolle's impressed me a lot. I hope they can find a team with cap space or a trade exception for Solo Jones to all but guarantee him a roster spot.

[Grinder]

Yeah but he was in the play, at least he didn't run out of the poster!

Magnum P.F. Rolle's impressed me a lot. I hope they can find a team with cap space or a trade exception for Solo Jones to all but guarantee him a roster spot.

Yeah, I really like what I've seen from Rolle. Deserves to make the team. Pacers have to let someone go to sign him?

[InspiredLebowski]

Yeah, I really like what I've seen from Rolle. Deserves to make the team. Pacers have to let someone go to sign him?Not technically, 12 guys rostered right now, 3 draftees. But I'm assuming some type of PG FA signing.

Paul George keeps up his terribly sloppy ball handling. I know he's a bit of a project but I'm highly doubting his ability to be a 2.

[InspiredLebowski]

Kamla keeps calling Adam Koch "Cook" and it's cracking me up. I don't know how you get Cook out of Koch.

[Grinder]

Kamla keeps calling Adam Koch "Cook" and it's cracking me up. I don't know how you get Cook out of Koch.
I believe it's Mark Fein not Kamla.


I seriously didn't know Harangody had this kind of shooting ability. He's looking like Jason Kapono with Marion's stroke out there.

Some of turnaround jumpers he's been hitting have been really difficult.

[Efunk7]

Kamla keeps calling Adam Koch "Cook" and it's cracking me up. I don't know how you get Cook out of Koch.

that's b/c it's actually the proper pronunciation given that it's a german name...

[InspiredLebowski]

that's b/c it's actually the proper pronunciation given that it's a german name...
That's not how the guy with the name pronounces it

[InspiredLebowski]

Don't call it a comeback, from 27 down at half to 2 with a minute to go. Rolle with 19/11.

[DuMa]

Boston choked away that lead :oldlol:

[InspiredLebowski]

Paul George redeems himself (somewhat) with the and 1 game winner

[BALLin01]

Favors with the airball...

[Efunk7]

That's not how the guy with the name pronounces it

i know, i'm just saying that if it wasn't a bastardized american pronunciation, then "cook" would be appropriate...point taken, however
