Well, it's nice to see that Layman and the baseball player still can't play NBA basketball. :roll:

Why did the Blazers give Pat a guaranteed contract again?

He can dribble, its just the D ALWAYS goes under and that messes up any PnR he is involved in. The only reasons Batum and Wes are Starters is because they can hit an open 3 when they were here. Turner would look night and day better if he could, but he can't.

The important part is just how good both rookies have looked tonight. There still some kinks for both of them to work out, but they both look pretty damn good for rookies. Collin's defense is just magnificent for how young he is. Swanigan can stroke the ball, I'm not sure how you can guard the high P&R with Lillard and Swanigan, with Swanigan popping to 18 feet.

The obvious joke here is that Leonard remains so bad he had to be replaced by Swanigan in a preseason game so we don't get blownout after leading by double digits.

Collins needs to cut his hair. It looks like a wet damp cloth right now.

I'd be a terrible NBA coach. Even though it's only preseason, I could never play my 3rd stringers to close out a close game on my home floor...

Let's cut Meyers and keep Briscoe and Morrow.

I smell OT.

I LOVED the lineup with Nurk and Collins. They go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Turner was a hot mess. Layman needs to consider a new league.

Labinot41 · Post #50 » by **Labinot41** » Wed Oct 4, 2017 4:40 am

Layman and connaughton are really bad. Layman had only 1 good game against the Warriors but not anymore. Pat isn't a real Basketball Player imo

By the way, the fact that Swanigan scores 18 and I forget to mention it when giving my initial impressions says something. The guy is legit. A natural offensive weapon,

Collins needs to do 2 things: one is get stronger, he's too easily moved around by other bodies. The other is try a new haircut so he won't spend every break in action brushing the hair off his forehead

Swanigan looked good on the offensive end...but yikes! his defense.... :roll:

Turner is simply an awkward player with a broken shot

Lamar Hurd didn't improve

I wonder who's gonna start at PF??

18 and 6 in 17 minutes seems solid.

Pattycakes · Post #58 » by **Pattycakes** » Wed Oct 4, 2017 5:16 am

Swanigan is the real deal. We really need to work on solidifying that SF position/fully lock-in Harkless and Aminu.

I can't seem to find any boxscore for the game...did official stats go dead or something?

They were having stat issues at the arena for the last five minutes or so.
