Gameday Open Thread (Summer League Style)

IMPORTANT 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.

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.

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
by jksnake99 on Jul 14, 2008 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by PoliSam on Jul 14, 2008 11:58 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

by shralpster on Jul 14, 2008 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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).

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!)

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.

It seems like some of the energy that blazer personel used to put into the website is now being funneled to their presence on the radio station. I’m kind of hoping that’s a temporary thing and balance happens, because I have a much tougher time listening to the radio at work than I do being on fine websites such as this one.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Bayless and Batum are just throwing up bricks.
Koponen has shown some great stuff.

than he did last year at this time. I’m not talking results either, just moves and confidence.

Batum is looking like a project
Just running around in circles like a young Travis Outlaw.

He's extremely raw
They said he’s like a young Outlaw, and now I’m seeing it. D-league time maybe? I think for him he just needs to play
by sixth on Jul 14, 2008 5:17 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What?
On offense you mean? Because Batum is playing better defense and seeing more of the floor on that end than either of the other two.
by Dave on Jul 14, 2008 5:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
On offense
I can mostly see him missing shots, because the camera isn’t on him when he’s off the ball
