Gameday Open Thread (Summer League Style)

PrintIMPORTANT UPDATE: Go here to get started watching the games on NBA.com.
By Timbo's request, here's a thread to track tonight's summer league contest against the Wizards. Gametime is 5PM and it is airing on Comcast SportsNet as well as NBA.com (or so I am told).
I'll catch you here later tonight. Until then, get your hype on.
There are only two possible outcomes for tonight's performance: 1) I immediately buy a Jerryd Bayless jersey from NBA.com or 2) I'm writing a Trade Him! post tomorrow. No middle ground.
Go Blazers!
-- Ben (benjamin.golliver@gmail.com)
Update from Vegas: Blazersedge has arrived in Vegas! I don't think I'll be updating very much during the game but to the extent I do you can find updates in the comment thread. I'll put DAVE or something in the subject line to make finding them easy. Watch for a complete recap after the game.
--Dave
Second Update from Vegas: I understand there have been some shenanigans post-wise while I have been on the road. To be clear: if you violate site rules while my back is turned, including the use of blatant profanity, you will be immediately banned, no questions asked.

That's why you need a DVR
My TiVo was so excited to find it that it scheduled it twice, once on Comcast and once on NBA-TV. I guess I could get them both and compare the broadcasts (I am assuming Summer League is free on NBA-TV as I don’t buy League Pass.)

Tell her the house is on fire
And you’re worried she’ll die in a fire if she comes home early. She’ll dawdle a bit on coming home, you’ll watch the game, call her back and tell her it wasn’t a fire you were just gassy, and she comes home thinking you’re a hero like a firefighter.
The perfect crime…

Too bad...
...I have to miss the game. I have been in total withdrawal, and the WNBA on ABC isn’t providing a fix of any kind.

in person only
women’s basketball on TV is slooo and boring – a testament to how good and fast the men’s college and pro games are – but I find it’s much better in person.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
I agree, but...
Have you checked out the Seattle Storm this year? Trying to do what the Celtics did, and not with three stars but 5 (each of them with multiple championships already). They’re the best team in the WNBA… and I think Clay Bennett still is owner but has decided to keep them in Seattle. Is it any consolation for loosing the Sonics? Very strange.

Here's what's most interesting about this game to me:
1. Whether Petko is able to dish, dish, dish, dish, dish, dish his way onto the roster (thereby effectively sending Sergio to a quick exit and bringing me to my feet with a mighty roar).
2. How Rex manages to dribble the ball with those itty-bitty little baby arms…

good question
Blatche, Young and Pecherov and McGee (this year’s 1st round pick) for sure. Maybe McGuire and Veremeenko (last year’s 2nd round pick). They’ve also picked up Dee Brown so he may play (according to Bullets Forever).
Boomshakalaka
You're almost right
I doubt Veremeeko will be on the NBA roster, but the others should.
Brown’s still a bit of a question mark, but his contract becomes guaranteed in January, so they can have him on the roster and release him before then if he doesn’t work out.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Blatche got quite a bit of time in the playoffs
some 15 minutes a game, and Young impressed when he got the time (I remember one game where he torched his home-town la l*kers, which made him a hero to me). The papers here in DC said Pecherov impressed people in practices but the rotation was jammed at PF (Jamison, Blatche, Songalia).
We might be spanked, but I’ll be watching – LOCALLY BROADCAST IN THE DC AREA!!!!

Pecherov out, from the "Washington Times"
quoth the Moonie-owned Times:
“Pecherov watched practice for a third straight day, still suffering from a sprained left ankle. He said he will miss the first two summer league games, but hopes to get some action in later in the week. “
that helps us. If it mattered, which it doesn’t. But I don’t want to lose this one, either

Guards
The Blazers were already planning to emphasize their perimeter players this summer. With all of the Wizard’s interior experience, I’d expect to see I lot of shots out of Bayless, Batum, and Petteri. To put some numbers on it, I’ll predict:
Bayless 25pts, 4 rbs, 3 assists, 4 TO
Koponen 12 pts, 2 rbs, 4 assists, 3 TO
Batum 16 pts, 5 rbs, 1 assist, 2 TO
I don't know why
But I am expecting Koponen to really shine during summer league, at least enough to get himself on the Blazers this year. He might surpase all expectations and blow a few “experts” away with his court vision, and shooting ability. 18pts, 8ast, and 5 reb would not suprise me.
But on the other hand, I would also not be too surpised if Bayless struggles in Summer League. No reasons behind any of these expectations, just a gut feeling on my part. I will ofcourse watch every second and cheer them all on to glory.
Don't fast athletic guards usually kill in summer league?
I think Bayless will put up some pretty high scoring numbers.
Batum
43 pts, 25 rbs, 33 dimes, 15 TOs, 26 PFs, 10 steals, 16 blocks.
Septuple double. Book it.

One Question
I’m going to watch but pretty much don’t care at all about the summer league. With no disrespect to our guys, we’re talking about three guys that I sort of hope won’t get much playing time this year because they’re just rookies.
"We're just one big family. And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved." - Jason Mraz

You must not utter the words “don’t care at all” about ANYTHING Blazer related. You must care deeply about every hangnail, haircut, and yes, pretend-basketball games. Anything less and you are not an obsessed superfan and must search for another hangout.

Man, if they Blazers would just wait 3 months to play 5 meaningless games ALL the time...
...I’d be in heaven. It doesn’t get any better than that.
But seriously, this is just a matter of getting my fix. That and I’m curious to see Bayless et al.
But here's the thing
At least one of ‘dem (that Bayless kid) could get pretty major minutes (for a rookie on a winning club), and that makes it kinda important to see how he’s doing. Batum is that guy for another day, and just seeing how far along he is against fellow raw athletes will be fun to see.
PetKop is a total mystery, so just seeing what he can do as a PG is a bonus.
No matter which way we slice it, with Oden and Rudy coming in we’re giving MAJOR minutes to at least two rookies, and then bummed if either Rudy or Bayless suck.
I am glad we don’t got any projected starters on the summer league team though. It’s bad enough to have your starters playing in Vegas, and it’s worse when they don’t even do that well (aside from LMA last year; he did good).
Mortimer
No
We can afford to have either Rudy or Bayless bomb out. We’ll be bummed if both of them do.
Other people don't have as much practice at being wrong as I do -- HT, timbo
Well, I'll be bummed at least
I think we can afford ANYONE bombing out, outside of Oden/Roy/LMA. That’s as good of a core as you’ll get, and everyone else is gravy… important gravy, but gravy. So, we can definitely afford both Rudy and Bayless bustin’...
But, I’ll be totally bummed if either dude is a bust, because I think both will be really good. I don’t want to be wrong :-(
They’re both projected to be pretty awesome, so something semi-major happened if they suck. And then I’ll be bummed city, dude! :-(

Summer League! Oh how I have waited for you for SO long!
Gentlemen and Ladies, the day is upon us, no longer do we have to wait in vain to see the sight of a red and black jersey gracefully flowing up and down the hardwoods. Summer league is at hand! Gone are the days of think about “what if” J.B. is a legit NBA prospect. We day of reckoning is at hand, I for one will not chastise our young Point Guard to quickly, just as Dave would not his young PG if he didn’t drop 30 points and 15 assists in his first NBA game. Give the young kid time, but I think today we will see some flashes of Brilliance! Just as I keep re-watching Odens first summer league games (i watch for the dunks, not all those fouls OK) I am sure this summer we will find something out about our team. (as in tell greg not to try and block EVERY shot!)
Thanks for having me on Blazersedge! I will keep the posts fun and hopefully often, but alas it is hard NOT to get caught at work ;) (now if they would just let me out early today!)

Local place to watch?
I called Claudia’s on Hawthorne and at first they didn’t know if they’d have it, then they said they would have it. It wasn’t an answer that I would stake my life on. And the sadly the hour between 5 and 6 today is my life.
If they got a sports package
From their cable/satellite provider, then they likely have NBATV.
If you’re worried, call them back and ask them if they either get NBATV, or the local Blazers Comcast channel. If it’s a place that shows sports normally, they probably have a sports subscription package that includes NBATV, which means they got the game on live at Five-pm.
HUZZAH!

Wait a minute
I thought the game wasn’t televised until 10PM on Comcast and then again the next morning, but I read on trailblazers.com that it is being shown live.

Some games
Start a half hour later than they are really happenin’, I noticed, and it seemed to usually be the 1st game of the day.
Today’s Blazer game is scheduled to be as live as live can be.
Mortimer
Thanks
At least the Knick game has announcers (Knick homers, but announcers at least). Hopefully the Mikes will be on for the Blazers… Does anyone know for sure if the Mikes will be announcing for the streaming video from NBA.com?
Joel Freeland=Stud
Ya know, I don't know
But last year they did and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did again. Lemme check Mikey Barretta’s blog…
Ehhh, didn’t see a quick mention of it, but I only scanned his recent blog post. They’ve been there in recent years, so I’d expect it to be that way again. Maybe not every game, maybe not tonight, but at least a few… if they know what’s good for them.
I wanna hear Mike Rice have no idea who anyone who isn’t signed to a NBA team is, and mispronounce Petteri and Batum’s names.
Mortimer
morti's right...my bad it is free..
but it doesnt look live…unless nostradamus is posting the future score in advance!
When I just looked
There’s only a score for the Knicks/Cavs game going on as we speak.
When 5pm rolls around, there will be a “WATCH” link that shows up underneath the Blazers scoreboard on the leftside of NBA.com’s screen. There will also be something similar on NBA.com’s summer league page.
This game should be live, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the online feed has a few minute delay… they normally do.
There might have been a mistaken score listed under the Blazer game that ya saw, but it isn’t there now at least. Just click it and ticket your way to Blazers excitement, the online way!
Mortimer
It would be greatly appreciated
if you would stream the Blazer game this way later today for those of us in the Boondocks without access to NBA.com
1. At http://www.nba.com/summerleague2008/scoreboard.jsp, a “watch” link will appear when the Blazer game approaches, like there is a link for the NY/Cleveland game.
2. If the game is blacked out, right click on the link and copy the shortcut.
3. You can the paste that link in in a new tab or window, such as the following for the NY link; javascript:nbaVideo(escape(‘http://broadband.nba.com/cc/playa.php?content=video&url=http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/9911/500_nba-league_pass_cleveland_051201.asx&gid=s13&gid=1520800013’),escape(‘blank’));
4. Erase all the parts before “boss.streamos…” and erase all of the parts after “asx”, so that the link looks like this: boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/9911/500_nba-league_pass_cleveland_051201.asx (except that you will have Blazer or other game information instead).
5. Press enter. Watch game.
Anyone watching the Knicks game now?
The Italian kid Galinari just did a bad turnover and then chased the guy all the way downcourt and did a real soft lame bump as the guy went for the layup and got called for the foul and 1. It was funny.
That would be AWESOME if that happened during a real game in MSG. Ohhhh it’d be sweet.
Danilo has a Mussolini tattoo over his heart, if you folks didn’t know. He’s a big fan.
Mortimer
He redeemed himself
With an awesome two handed put back JAM and some jumpers.
I like how he moves; he’s pretty quick for his size and he has a good build for a young Euro rookie. He’s trying to do too much but I like what I see, I think. Against summer folks, anyways… I also thought Yi looked better than I thought in the Summer League.
Of course, I thought Yi would be a bust, and if he is really 24 I don’t think he’ll be THAT good to warrant the high draft pick in one of the best drafts in NBA history.
Mortimer
Isn't it strange that Rudy is playing for his country's olympic team
but Gallinari is not?
Koponen - PG of the future. Book it.
Yeah.. but maybe it's because the Italian team SUCKS

They're focused on Pete.
They know Bayless is here long term, they’re using this to decide on Pete’s future. So don’t be surprised if Bayless does the SG thing throughout the SL games. It’s not like they’ll say “Bayless struggled, let’s trade him” after SL.

I met Travis Outlaw
one afternoon on my way home from work. I got off the bus a few stops early so I could take a shortcut through the duck pond in heading to McDonalds to grab bite. At the pond, I turned the corner and there he was walking towards me. Being overly excited, I couldn’t help but point my finger at him as I was saying, “Oh my god it’s Travis Outlaw!” I was so excited that I never even shook his hand when he extended it out to me, hehe.

doesn’t have the court vision to pass when somebody has a better shot.

DraftExpress on Bayless
DraftExpress: Probably the most impressive first-half performance by any rookie in the summer league so far. He played a similar role to how Portland will use him in their real offense at the 2 alongside a big point guard—Koponen/Roy. I love how aggressive he was, trying to get to the rim, finishing with both hands. He’s athletic, skilled and doesn’t fall in love with his jumper like a lot of combo guards these days tend to do. He also competed admirably on defense and tried to take a charge.

They don’t seem to mix terribly well, and I’d guess it’s because Arenas isn’t a real PG, but they’re all good to great players.

Arenas was hurt all year, Caron is always hurt, they got injury problems. They’re fun, got some allstars, but I doubt it’ll ever amount to too much.

Bayless in today's game.
28 pts
4 rebs
18-23 ftm-a
3 turnovers
0 assists
I understand that summer league is different and that everyone is trying to stand out and make the team, but 0 assists? I wanted to see some immediate ‘PG not undersized SG’ evidence. I will save real judgment until mid-season, but I’m still torn. 28 pts and getting to the free throw line to shoot TWENTY THREE shots is a fantastic performance, but 9 assists is a little rattling.

Nothing to worry about
He’s playing the role the coaches are asking him to play. He’ll be passing plenty more during the season.
Not worried anymore
I just finished watching the game and realized that he was the only person taking control and being aggressive, so I’m okay with his stats. It’s still amazing that while creating that much contact and driving so well, that he didn’t get the occasional last minute dish for an assist. Half of what I expect him to do is beat the opposing PG and force someone to come to him to help and thus creating an open pass for easy basket.

gotta say
Would love to see it. Would be a startling development, though. If Kope is our starting PG of the future, what will happen to our minutes pie chart? Does Bayless become mostly a SG? If so, what happens to Roy’s minutes and Rudy’s minutes? I mean, do their minutes just go way down or do they find minutes at SF? On the other hand, does PK starting make Bayless a White unit guy?
PK as our PG is a tantalizing prospect, but no question it puts a major tweak on our lineup.
Winning is everything.
Nah, Bayless backs up PK
with Mr. Blake as the injury insurance policy.
Koponen - PG of the future. Book it.
He might be too good to be a backup
In a few years.
If PK is awesome, then one of Rudy/Bayless/PK will get traded, because all might be starter/6th man worthy.
My money is on PK getting moved or not making it, until I see more at least.
You know what I'm feelin'?
I think he’ll get signed and then when all that luscious cap space comes on, a whole bunch of guys are going to go in a trade for some high paid vet. KP never makes mistakes, so every guy on the roster is going to be a super star. Some of those guys will have to be traded. It will be a trade that will shock the world, probably for a guy like LeBron.

I really enjoyed watching PK!
Man, can that guy accelerate or what? Quick, quick quick! His passing was very nice if you ask me. He looked like a true Point Guard. Sign him up!
I also like Bayless’ aggressive play and his shot was definitely on, but his style definitely looked more SG than PG. He can sure shot his free throws, and as we all know you gotta make your free throws.
I’d say that we have some keepers!
Go Blazers!

PK was much quicker than I thought he would be

hmmm, another "Bayless is a SG" comment
Maybe Bayless is a SG, not a PG. That’s what I’m reading from a lot of folks. What if Nate agrees? What if PK gets a lot of PG minutes? That would turn Bayless into either a backup PG or a backup SG. Maybe Bayless plays PG with the black (starters) unit and Kope plays with the whites. Whither Blake? -Sergio gets to ride the pine and Blake plays spot minutes. This PK dude might really shake things up for the Blazers.
Winning is everything.
It will change
I think he took advantage of opportunities that were in front of him. Like Dave said in the recap, the defense will have scouted him next game and he will have to adjust. He’ll probably get some assists in the next game. It would help him get more assists if the other players on his team could score.

I don't know why everybody is making a big deal about assists
As far as I know, Bayless was playing the SG and Koponen the PG. Both players actually made some nice passes that weren’t converted. Not their fault.

Yes, pualo, an extraordinarily discerning BEdger with a knack for subtle expression.
OK, I will agree that a lot of what I posted
was due to the fact that PK and JB were in fact playing their assigned roles. I guess I am just saying that both of them sold me that they belonged there.

Interview with Nate about JB
he told the announcers (jokingly) to lay off JB, that JB was told to shoot as much as possible, hence the low assist count. He was doing what he was told to do, and did well.

I guess that means he is coachable
I say that we all should just stand back and watch while Nate turns him into an All-Star!
There now I feel all homey again!
