Summer League Game Thread - MALAKI'S REVENGE - Spurs/Wizards 7/11/23 @ 9:30PM CDT (5:30AM Riga Time) on NBA TV

[timvp]

Go get 'em, Branham.

[silverblackfan]

Whoa. timvp started a game thread. Good luck, Branham. Keep up the good work Dom and Champ

[rjv]

branham is 7 for 33 so far in vegas. let's hope he gets things turned around.

[BatManu20]

Branham bounce-back game. He’s dropping 25+ tonight. If he doesn’t, we cut him tbh.

[heyheymymy]

Bran has agreed to cut back on all the hookers and blow in Vegas and has spent the day by the pool drinking mango smoothies and doing yoga.

He is ready to get serious tonight.

[spurs10]

Branham bounce-back game. He’s dropping 25+ tonight. If he doesn’t, we cut him tbh. Like with a blade? That would be extreme, but .....:)

Wish NBATV was easier to access.

[JPB]

Interested to see Coulibaly if he plays. He showed interesting things so far with the Wiz as a two way player.

Love how the Celtic bench stands up for the dunk but... no.

[BacktoBasics]

Is this free on the NBA app or paid subscription? I’d like to see this game.

[onechance87]

Trying to see if champ bounces back as well....Want to see barlow step up as well along with cissoko

[slick'81]

No wemby means a dirty dom feast:flag:

[heyheymymy]

check back around game time

I will post the streameast live link if possible

[GAustex]

Will be most interesting if the squad gets the well oiled team thing going again that was somewhat lost with the big guys participation

[Spurs Homer]

Is this free on the NBA app or paid subscription? I’d like to see this game.

They have been on espn or espn 2 -
wait -

you mean you havent watched the other games and you were upset because I shit on the spurs garbage players?

Jeezus...

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Spurs by 20.

[heyheymymy]

Again

Look at Bran's tape from the Lakers game at Sacramento Summer League a week ago. Wow.

Look at Bran's tape from the Hornets game at Vegas Summer League this weekend. Impressive.

I got two games of stellar Branham performance against one with admittedly utterly dismal performance. Sample size? And his best game this summer, 32 points, was without Victor-- so less talent surrounding to pull focus off him operating offensively and he still excelled.

Bran will be a roller coaster but he's rising and dipping in a nice forwardly motion imho.

[Mugen]

If you stopped believing after 1-17, you better not be back on the bandwagon after 3-16 :lol

[heyheymymy]

Also my other shit take

As lukewarm as I agree Blake Wesley has been, the flashes are absolutely brilliant.

But then he'll do something insane the next play. Chucking that poor look 3 after Vic cut it to one with the open three? Getting stuffed on drives. Hitting the jets down court but zig zagging awkwardly like there's no plan. It's terrible.

Loved some of his poke aways. When he does get a red carpet to the rim those slams are confident. There was a play where he got the ball on the three point line and faked his defender into opening a lane and he took a burst untouched right to the basket. Savvy shit here and there but he must clean up the sloppy unbridled errors.

[heyheymymy]

Sidy Cissoko turned a corner last game-

Let see if it was for real.

[Mr. Body]

Branham has had a great summer league. I just don't know why people don't realize several players were super jittery coming into the last game for Vic and it completely affected their performances.

After wobbling back and forth, the last two games have cemented me as a big Wesley booster. His good stuff is really promising. He's smarter than many of us want to recognize and is improving. I don't think he's going to be a massive scorer, but will be a toolsy guy who fills up the stat sheet and is a pest on defense. Looking forward to it.

[heyheymymy]

Agreed Mr Body

Last few games with Wes was when I was like okay, I can dig this.

The bad is still really bad though lol but shit it's Summer League. I think he's just trying outlandish stuff to get it sorted out during throw away games that don't mean anything stat wise. Might rein it in for a more polished and less risky regular season mode perhaps.

And then over the season I hope he builds up further off of everything he's gained thus far. At #25 he was always going to be a longer cure with a lower and longer developmental arc.

[SpursFan86]

As frustrating as Wesley has been at times, people really need to keep in mind he’s only 20 years old and was a known “project” prospect coming into the league. No one should’ve expected him to be a legitimate NBA player in year 1, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he’s still not quite ready in year 2. If that’s the case it doesn’t mean he won’t still end up being a solid player.

If he’s not more consistent and serviceable by year 3, then sure, we can start talking about whether or not he’s worth keeping around. But it’s entirely too early to jump ship IMO.

[Leetonidas]

Nice :lol

[heyheymymy]

Forgot how wet Blake Wesley's mid range was against the Lakers last week at California Classic.

He distributes pretty well too except the TO's negate the assist totals often. Still, a lot of nifty little finds, nothing crazy passing wise but learning his guys tendencies and hitting them in their sweet spots happens often with Wesley.

[heyheymymy]

Agree SpursFan86

People giving up on Wes already but he's still well within his expected cook time.

[Spursmania]

:flag::flag:Let's do this!

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm glad the game is so early :lol

[Spursmania]

Is this free on the NBA app or paid subscription? I’d like to see this game.

It's also on ESPN +

Jeezus...Stop being a dumbfuck. I have been watching the games on espn and the espn+ app. This one is on nbatv. Which if you had a brain worth a shit you’d have realized that. This is the first one listed on nbatv as far as I know and it’s what was mentioned in the op.

[BacktoBasics]

It's also on ESPN +

Thanks.

It's all in his eyes when he has the ball.
He has a certain mindset and his eyes only see certain things.
He needs help opening his eyes and... not slowing down his brain, but getting him to consider options on the fly before just doing.

[heyheymymy]

Regarding Wesley

It's all something that smooths out with repetition.

He needs to run, perhaps even in Austin if it means more minutes. With repetition he can train that decision making into consistently plus value contributions.

[TekXX]

I hope Champ comes out looking like MJ again.

[Uriel]

Agree with the general sentiment in this thread about Blake Wesley :tu

He makes egregious mistakes and these tend to make him look exceptionally bad. But he also shows flashes of lightning fast speed and crazy athleticism that reveal how strong his upside is. At the end of the day, he's only 20 years old, and many of his mistakes are fixable. I think many people at this point have simply decided to have a negative view of Wesley, and every mistake he makes just serves to confirm their preconceived notions.

We always knew he was going to be a 2-year project. Let's give him another year of development before we start deciding he's not an NBA player.

[BackHome]

Branham has had a great summer league. I just don't know why people don't realize several players were super jittery coming into the last game for Vic and it completely affected their performances.

Yeah, you make a good point I new that Wemby would be super nervous it really didn't dawn on me that everyone would also be very nervous. I guess playing in a sold out place with so many reporters, cameras, and stars at courtside would make any player nervous

[heyheymymy]

Is Bilal suiting up tonight for the whiz?

[DPG21920]

Ya want to see Branham and Julian back to dominating and bouncing back.

[Obstructed_View]

Wish NBATV was easier to access.
My wife works for a telecommunications company and we got a free cable box. It has every channel but one. :lol

[Joseph Kony]

if you have the Hulu bundle with ESPN you can watch the game on Hulu

[ace3g]

Barlow middy!!

[Dejounte]

That shit is automatic for Barlow.

[SpursFan86]

What is Barlow shooting from mid-range in the SL? Legitimately seems like 70-80% :lol

[Spurs Homer]

Stop being a dumbfuck. I have been watching the games on espn and the espn+ app. This one is on nbatv. Which if you had a brain worth a shit you’d have realized that. This is the first one listed on nbatv as far as I know and it’s what was mentioned in the op.


lol

take it easy man - you are going to burst a brain vein or some shit...

[tim_duncan_fan]

livesport24.net has it but you probably need your anti-virus and ad/pop-up blocker on.

By probably, I mean definitely

[emanueldavidginobili]

Nah Barlow is going to be good wow lol. No hesitation just smooth shot on that make. Super impressive play for that size.

[Dejounte]

Sidy’s defensive instincts are so nice.

[ace3g]

Sidy nice behind the back pass to Barlow for the pop a shot!!!

[Dejounte]

Super nice pass by Sidy!!!

[SpursFan86]

What a beautiful drive and pass by Sidy :wow

[emanueldavidginobili]

Sidy is one of the most intriguing second round picks in some time from the Spurs.

[ace3g]

Champagnie nice drop off pass to Barlow for and-1 chance.

[lefty20]

Barloyama

[heyheymymy]

Wow Sidy Cissoko

behind the back pass reminds me of bobo

Barlow feasting

[Dejounte]

Champagnie nice drop off pass to Barlow for and-1 chance.
Natural born teammates tbh

[Degoat]

I want Sidy in the main squad, the kid is a tank lol

[SpursFan86]

Trying to temper expectations for Sidy because I really am worried about his lack of scoring but damn he just seems to have such an incredible feel for the game at such a young age. I really think he has a lot of potential.

[Uriel]

Remember when Johnny Davis was drawing comparisons to Manu Ginobili? :lol

[Dejounte]

Sidy loves them behind the back passes

[Spursmania]

Sidy is a smart player.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Cook that Victor is still in Vegas supporting.

[ace3g]

Sidy can be a Diaw/Draymond hybrid for us.

[td4mvp2k]

sidy much better running the offense than wesley and aint even close

[heyheymymy]

Sidy with a rebound, steal, assist and hit his free throw

Doing a little bit of everything and very active and impactful out there

[Spursmania]

Trying to temper expectations for Sidy because I really am worried about his lack of scoring but damn he just seems to have such an incredible feel for the game at such a young age. I really think he has a lot of potential.

Pop's gotta love this guy.

[TekXX]

I love that wemby is still there but i also wouldn't mind if he heads back to SA to rest and start working with coaches.

[heyheymymy]

Sidy running the ball in some half court sets offensively

[emanueldavidginobili]

Blake would be 10x better if he had Sidy’s passing ability. Nutty to think about lol.

[LakerHater]

Wesley's an idiot

[Obstructed_View]

Always reaches. Always.

[onechance87]

wesley lol

[SpursFan86]

Branham officially has the yips...holy shit :lmao

[Dejounte]

Bryn Forbes cmon

[ace3g]

Branham 2 missed FTs...

[Uriel]

I love that wemby is still there but i also wouldn't mind if he heads back to SA to rest and start working with coaches.
It actually speaks to his maturity level. He isn't some kind of prima donna that thinks summer league is beneath a superstar like him. He actually wants to stay and practice with his teammates.

[lefty20]

Bran :lol

[SpursFan86]

Wow so Branham just flat-out sucks now? :lol Misses 2 FTs, drops a pass leading to a TO, and then misses a point blank layup. Wtf is going on?

[Degoat]

I’ve said this before, SL isn’t a good place for Branham. It’s definitely a weakness in his game but he needs spacing and structure out there and with SL there’s not a lot of that

[Spursmania]

It actually speaks to his maturity level. He isn't some kind of prima donna that thinks summer league is beneath a superstar like him. He actually wants to stay and practice with his teammates.

I must have missed something. When did they say Wemby is still there?

[TekXX]

Are perrenial all-stars Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell there?

[ace3g]

Champagnie 3!!!

[SpursFan86]

I must have missed something. When did they say Wemby is still there?

Cameras showed him on the bench

[Dejounte]

Brown jr is the worst basketball player I’ve ever seen

[Obstructed_View]

I must have missed something. When did they say Wemby is still there?
He's sitting on the bench in street clothes. They showed him at the timeout.

[onechance87]

I’ve said this before, SL isn’t a good place for Branham. It’s definitely a weakness in his game but he needs spacing and structure out there and with SL there’s not a lot of that

huh.........

[Mugen]

My man Malaki struggling, just gotta shoot yourself out of it.

[Mugen]

I’ve said this before, SL isn’t a good place for Branham. It’s definitely a weakness in his game but he needs spacing and structure out there and with SL there’s not a lot of that

SL is perfectly fine for his game, he's just been ass for the 5 quarters :lol

[TekXX]

I’ve said this before, SL isn’t a good place for Branham. It’s definitely a weakness in his game but he needs spacing and structure out there and with SL there’s not a lot of that

Struggling against G-leaguers isn't a good place for him?

[BatManu20]

Malaki just needs to see a couple go in tbh. Missing that bunny doesn’t help though.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Blake looks god awful. Multiple inaccurate passes and loosing the ball dribbling.

[td4mvp2k]

My man Malaki struggling, just gotta shoot yourself out of it.
he needs to learn how to get simple buckets when his shot isnt going down

[Ariel]

Right now Malaki could aim at sand in the middle of the Sahara and he'd miss.

[BatManu20]

Wesley’s handle is so awful man. Good lord

[Degoat]

SL is perfectly fine for his game, he's just been ass for the 5 quarters :lol

Wrong… one of the reasons why he always gets his shot blocked out there. He doesn’t have space he needs

[SpursFan86]

Finally Wesley makes a positive play. Nice drive.

[Seventyniner]

If Wesley ever puts it all together he's a solid starter. But his lowlights are so glaring.

[td4mvp2k]

Wesley’s handle is so awful man. Good lord
i just hope this guy doesnt completely suck in the future to where he's untradeable

[Obstructed_View]

Wesley literally does not understand defensive angles.

[Ariel]

Blake "roadrunner" Wesley.

[heyheymymy]

I agree with Degoat

Summer League is too freelance for Bran who benefits more from a scheme built to get him looks he can thrive with

[8FOR!3]

Dollar Tree Murray occasionally gets to the basket and looks just like his twin but then he can't make a pass to save his life

[Russ]

Right now Malaki could aim at sand in the middle of the Sahara and he'd miss.

Couldn't hit water with an oar.

[Obstructed_View]

If Wesley ever puts it all together he's a solid starter. But his lowlights are so glaring.

He can't dribble the ball. That's kind of a requirement for a point guard.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Not worried about Branham whatsoever tbh. He averaged 10 ppg as a rookie and has multiple 20 point games. He will be fine. Blake on the other hand is deff a work and progress, kid has the tools but he needs a really good mentor I think.

[Chomag]

Wesley would be fine if they weren't trying to make him a PG. He just doesn't have the abilities needed to be one. Can his handling and decision making get better sure, but never to the level that's needed for a Pg.

[onechance87]

Wrong… one of the reasons why he always gets his shot blocked out there. He doesn’t have space he needs

well hes gotta adapt....We are what we are....Hes useless if needs guys to make it easier for him...

[Uriel]

The way Blake dribbles away from his defender and uses his quick first step to get separation and drive inside is really quite impressive. He really does have the tools; he just needs to learn to put them together.

[Obstructed_View]

Wesley would be fine if they weren't trying to make him a PG. He just doesn't have the abilities needed to be one. Can his handling and decision making get better sure, but never to the level that's needed for a Pg.
Yep. I hated this idea from the get go. Hell, I hated when they thought they could make Primo a point guard. This is fucking Lloyd Daniels and Vinny Del Negro all over again.

[Uriel]

He can't dribble the ball. That's kind of a requirement for a point guard.
Part of the reason for that could be that he was mostly used as a combo guard in college, and usually not as the primary ballhandler. The Spurs are probably playing him at PG to help him develop those ballhandling skills.

[Obstructed_View]

Fucking Dom has been absolute money.

[Seventyniner]

He can't dribble the ball. That's kind of a requirement for a point guard.

Dejounte was bad at this early in his career too.

I think Wesley has only a puncher's chance (maybe 20%) of actually becoming what the Spurs want him to be. Far too early to cut bait on him, but if he ends up being a bust it's not a catastrophe.

[heyheymymy]

Blake has that range

[Obstructed_View]

Part of the reason for that could be that he was mostly used as a combo guard in college, and usually not as the primary ballhandler. The Spurs are probably playing him at PG to help him develop those ballhandling skills.
Its 100 percent that. There is so much more to running the point than dribbling. He can't really do any of it. I'd bet he spent a lot of time on his three but we don't get to see it because he's trying to pass.

[ace3g]

Branham got that to go, lol

[Obstructed_View]

Dejounte was bad at this early in his career too.

I think Wesley has only a puncher's chance (maybe 20%) of actually becoming what the Spurs want him to be. Far too early to cut bait on him, but if he ends up being a bust it's not a catastrophe.
But Dejounte was always a point guard. He won't be a bust as a pro, but I have completely soured on whoever is behind this shit.

[SpursFan86]

Malaki's only 2 baskets in his last 20 attempts are flukey 3-pointers off the rim :lmao

[heyheymymy]

LADY LUCK with Bran on one hell of a fortunate bounce

[Obstructed_View]

Branham hits another terrible three.

[ace3g]

Come on Blake...

[8FOR!3]

Dejounte was bad at this early in his career too.

Agreed tbh. lol at Branham's first make being that shot. Maybe that'll get him going. Also super impressed with Barlow. Really didn't think he'd ever amount to anything last year but it's starting to come together. Thought he was a tweener but he's big and athletic enough and has a good enough skillset right now to be a backup center I think.

[lefty20]

Champ better be a rotation guy on opening night. That stroke is all kinds of legit.

[onechance87]

man branham and champ sucking again along with wesley....only barlow making shots

[Obstructed_View]

Anybody else think this offense is abysmal? Nobody sets screens, they just run around until the shot clock winds down or they turn it over.

[SpursFan86]

Branham with another lucky basket :lol Fuck it, will take what we can get at this point

[lefty20]

man branham and champ sucking again along with wesley....only barlow making shots

Champ's got 10/5/3 on 4 shots.

[Chomag]

With yalls logic every player could be a pg lol

You need to have the skillset first in order to work on refining them.

[Seventyniner]

Champ better be a rotation guy on opening night. That stroke is all kinds of legit.

What's weird is that the Spurs have been loading up on SFs this summer. Osman and Bullock are better than replacement level but them, along with guys like McDermott and maybe Keldon (on top of Champagnie of course), make that position very crowded.

[onechance87]

Champ's got 10/5/3 on 4 shots.

yea...he made a three as i typed that...hope he keeps it up....this team needs offence

[heyheymymy]

Yikes Blake and Bran tonight

oof

[lefty20]

jfc Bran needs to sacrifice a goat of something.

[SpursFan86]

Beating a dead horse but Branham has been shockingly bad once again. He's legitimately three lucky bounces away from being 0 for his last 25 shots :lmao Unreal for a guy whose bread and butter is scoring in a variety of ways.

[Obstructed_View]

Mal got the yips fer sho.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Dejounte was bad at this early in his career too.

While I agree to an extent, Dejounte also showed glaring defensive potential. Kid was on the all defensive second team at 21 years old and in his second year, practically first year playing. He showed elite potential defensively in summer league.

[Obstructed_View]

Bilal should have gotten continuation.

[Obstructed_View]

Yay Mal.

[lefty20]

Good ending by Bran at least.

[SpursFan86]

Proceeds to make two tough shots that actually looked like they should've gone in...there we go

[Obstructed_View]

And yay mal again.

[heyheymymy]

Bran can go in the tunnel with a little confidence boost after that one

[slick'81]

Good first half for my boy dom dom

[BatManu20]

Two really tough shots in a row by Branham and he knocks ‘em both down. Noice.

[ace3g]

Branham, see if that gets him going in the 2nd half.

[scott]

Listening to this one announcer trying to extort Doris Burke for a bet she never actually agreed to is... awkward.

[TekXX]

Lord these NBAtv announcers are cringey.

[Russ]

Kareem Abdul-Barlow.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah that over bet not looking spectacular.

That's not doris burke.

[Obstructed_View]

Listening to this one announcer trying to extort Doris Burke for a bet she never actually agreed to is... awkward.
Don't think that's Doris.

[Seventyniner]

I hate to put it this way, but Branham is starting to look like an empty calories scorer who gives up at least as much on the other end.

I sure hope this doesn't end up being the case.

[DPG21920]

Branham with some much needed confidence boosters lol. IF that shot isn’t falling, like to see him driving. Hes great at floaters so try and mix it up a bit more and do some other things; rebound, create a bit for others, get that floater off. Good end for him.

Champagnie looking like he has all SL which is great. Type of bounce back you love to see after a down game.

Barlow doing Barlow things and being efficient and much better attention to detail tonight and in good spots vs getting bodied and pushed out of stuff.

Sidy showing that playmaking chops but back to rough shooting.

Blake needs to clean up those TO man

[playblair]

these announcers r having coitus together & they cant hide it.......

[8FOR!3]

This is what I really don't get.

SF you have Keldon/Sochan so one will start one will come off the bench (Keldon at SF/Sochan at PF) which would leave room for ONE of Osman/Bullock/McDermott/Champagnie at SF or PF. Even if Bullock could play minutes at SG he'd be competing with Branham. Why wouldn't we rather play Branham/Champagnie at SG/SF or PF than Osman/Bullock/McDermott? I guess Osman is intriguing enough at 28 to keep around maybe in a KBD role but I would look to trade Bullock. McDermott fits as the veteran who can occasionally be instant offense and knock down shots or play at SF/PF if someone is hurt.

[onechance87]

I hate to put it this way, but Branham is starting to look like an empty calories scorer who gives up at least as much on the other end.

I sure hope this doesn't end up being the case.

yea his defence is bad ....cant make plays...hes gotta make shots to be valuable on the court

[BacktoBasics]

Easily confused. Both Doris and this one sound like they dine on the same fish.

[heyheymymy]

whoa Brandon Miller, NSJ and Shadeon Sharpe all with huge games today

[Russ]

Spurs need this win to stay in the SL title hunt . . . :lol

[slick'81]

Lets see if sidey can score this half

[scott]

Don't think that's Doris.

Dang, she does an amazing Doris impersonation!

[Obstructed_View]

Victor going home to get some sleep.

[heyheymymy]

Was that Drew Gooden shaking Vic's hand there lol?

[BacktoBasics]

Sometimes this place acts like it’s all star or bust. To me Branham is a success if he can average 14 off the bench. The kinda guy who could get hot and put up 20-25 on any given night but might put up 5 the next but generally gives you a nice punch when needed.

[TekXX]

Wemby heading out to the poker tables.

Excellent length then block by Coulibaly on that block of Barlow, then great work sticking with it by Barlow.

Wemby telling NBATV to fuck off with this scheduling, tbh.

Wemby leaving and heading off to bed. Get your sleep big man :lol

[heyheymymy]

Blake can hit that three

It looks like it's in his game now

[Obstructed_View]

Wesley looks like the three is the only thing he worked on.

[onechance87]

Sometimes this place acts like it’s all star or bust. To me Branham is a success if he can average 14 off the bench. The kinda guy who could get hot and put up 20-25 on any given night but might put up 5 the next.

Yea but in his second year in summer league first round talent were hes the majority shooting shots and making plays...were hoping he
steps up....hes not suppose to score 5....Hes suppose to be better then that.

[BatManu20]

Wemby leaving and heading off to bed. Get your sleep big man :lol

Hitting the slots tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm pretty sure Victor is dying to get the fuck out of Vegas.

[slick'81]

Lets go dom dom

[heyheymymy]

shit that was a physically aggressive drive and score by Bran

[td4mvp2k]

branham with the pro move

[BatManu20]

Champ quickly turning into a chucker tbh.

[John B]

Blake is so fast

[jesterbobman]

Branham definitely feels overwhelmed as a #1 option, but he'll probably never be that in the NBA. A role attacking off an initial advantage really suits him though.

Barlow good.

[Spursmania]

I'm proud of Barlow. He's come a long way from last year. I'm rooting for the kid.

[slick'81]

Dirty dom with the spin dry

[SPURt]

Nice to see Branham bounce back after the terrible start

[heyheymymy]

wow don't look now but Branham started 2-7 and now is 7-12 for 16pts including 2-3 from downtown

[John B]

They look good without Wemby :lol

[TekXX]

Nevermind wemby is back.

[BatManu20]

Barlow’s spin-move is so quick. He’s really mastered that move. Great to see.

[heyheymymy]

Did the same thing at the Laker game last week during California Classic

Branham had a shitty first half and then takes over in the 2nd half and ends up with a nice game

[Russ]

I'm pretty sure Victor is dying to get the fuck out of Vegas.

Sounds like a Hunter Thompson title.

[Mr. Body]

GREAT defensive possession. They were switching like mtherfuckers.

[TekXX]

What hotel are the Spurs staying at?

[John B]

Champagnie close to a triple double 13, 8 and 6

[Obstructed_View]

First middy I've seen Dom miss.

[heyheymymy]

Sounds like a Hunter Thompson title.

Spears and Loathing in Las Vegas

[Russ]

I'm proud of Barlow. He's come a long way from last year. I'm rooting for the kid.

He can play the post on offense.

Defense a bit more of a struggle.

[slick'81]

Carlton wanted that block

[BatManu20]

What happened to Champagnie’s 3-point stroke. It fell off a cliff the past 3 games now after a fantastic start to SL.

[Obstructed_View]

The zebras don't like Blake.

[Obstructed_View]

What happened to Champagnie. Dude fell off a cliff the past 3 games now after a fantastic start to SL.

Honestly, dude, what fucking game are you watching?

EDIT: I SAW YOUR EDIT. DISREGARD THE QUESTION. :lol

[Russ]

Spears and Loathing in Las Vegas

:toast

[Chomag]

Yes, Wesley's handles is horid but what is worse is his lackof court vision, he has 0 ability at seeing the floor at all. That's a pretty big requirement for a PG.

[slick'81]

Sprinkles!!

[BatManu20]

Honestly, dude, what fucking game are you watching?

He’s 2-11 from the field… And 2-8 from 3. He’s struggled from the arc for a third straight game. What game are you watching? :lol

[TekXX]

Second time an NBAtv person has said wemby is shut down for the season, they're idiots.

[BatManu20]

Honestly, dude, what fucking game are you watching?

EDIT: I SAW YOUR EDIT. DISREGARD THE QUESTION. :lol

I like Champ a lot. He’s just been off for a third straight game now after starting off hot

[Obstructed_View]

The zebras don't like Blake.


He’s 2-11 from the field… And 2-9 from 3. He’s struggled from the arc for a third straight game. What game are you watching? :lol
The one with his rebounds, assists and defense. Its literally what a good pro does when his jumper isn't falling.

[John B]

I swear I’m having difficulty understanding what Jeremy is saying :lol

[Obstructed_View]

I like Champ a lot. He’s just been for a third straight game now after starting off hot
Honestly I wonder how late these guys are staying up.

[BatManu20]

Sochan the most lovable troll ever.

[BatManu20]

Sidy looking like Magic Johnson bringing the ball up :lol

[Seventyniner]

Ashley must be pretty tall to come up to Sochan's shoulder.

[John B]

Honestly I wonder how late these guys are staying up.

20 yr olds with money? :lol

[Obstructed_View]

That is the second time I've seen Cissoko guess wrong, hit a defender, and slow down quickly enough to avoid the charge. That's impressive.

[SPURt]

Brendan Haywood has had some funny quips. His take on the Jeremy Sochan interview made me chuckle, “I guarantee Pops advice to Sochan was not ‘do you’” :lol

[John B]

This kid looks like Cummings, just small version :lol

[Obstructed_View]

20 yr olds with money? :lol

It would explain everything but Blake's terrible point guard skills.

[TekXX]

That kid made a french sign to get wemby's attention and it worked, good for him.

[Russ]

I swear I’m having difficulty understanding what Jeremy is saying :lol

I'm having trouble understanding Champagnie. (But I love the guy.)

[td4mvp2k]

Brendan Haywood has had some funny quips. His take on the Jeremy Sochan interview made me chuckle, “I guarantee Pops advice to Sochan was not ‘do you’” :lol
guarantee btw.. he should probably attend some of pop's pressers some time before opening his mouth...

[Obstructed_View]

For whoever asked, Ashley is 5'10".

[ace3g]

That pass from Sidy..... ruined by butterfingers

[ace3g]

Sidy gets redemption on the following play.

[Obstructed_View]

Good for you, Mal!!

[Spursmania]

No one can see the court like Sidy. He's playing chess they're playing checkers.

[BatManu20]

That Sidy pass :wow

[SPURt]

Me likey Cissoko

[TekXX]

If Carlton every scores he needs to do the Carlton.

[Obstructed_View]

That pass from Sidy..... ruined by butterfingers
Your feed is a couple minutes ahead of mine. :lol

[John B]

Sidy is fun to watch

[Obstructed_View]

Cissoko for point guard!

[Chomag]

Lol Malic

[td4mvp2k]

need to see more of that from branham

[ace3g]

27 for Branham now.

[John B]

Malaki just picking his spot

[Obstructed_View]

Mal with the wicked back-rim dunk attempt.

[BatManu20]

How many missed dunks is that now for Branham..? He back-rims it almost every time :lol

[Degoat]

Branham shitting on ST

[heyheymymy]

Jesus Branham made one hell of a batch of lemonade out of those lemons

[BatManu20]

Branham bounce-back game. He’s dropping 25+ tonight. If he doesn’t, we cut him tbh.


:hat

[BacktoBasics]

Yea but in his second year in summer league first round talent were hes the majority shooting shots and making plays...were hoping he
steps up....hes not suppose to score 5....Hes suppose to be better then that.

No he’s not. He’s a late 1st. He’s already living up to his draft slot.

[Obstructed_View]

So happy for that young man.

[heyheymymy]

The missed dunks are kinda Lonnie esque lol

[Obstructed_View]

How many missed dunks is that now for Branham..? He back-rims it almost every time :lol
I've never seen him hit one of those dunks.

[TekXX]

Branham looking like Champ from last week out there.

[John B]

Branham smokin hot

[8FOR!3]

Is it absolutely insane to think Sidy maybe can play PG? I see a lot of Diaw comparisons but Diaw could do more in the post. But also didn't Diaw used to play PG?

[Obstructed_View]

The missed dunks are kinda Lonnie esque lol
Mal throws it down with confidence. Lonnie pulls up for a layup.

[BatManu20]

I've never seen him hit one of those dunks.

Same. I think the back-rim dunk count for him is 4 or 5 now lol
