Questions:
Can Bertans continue with his hot hand? And can he handle the point in extended minutes?
Can Livio follow up his defensive effort with another well rounded game? Can he get some jumpers to fall?
Can Cady stay out of foul trouble and build on his first game?
Can Kyle bounce back from his poor game 1? And will he be more aggressive?

Rodney Hood, JaJuan Johnson, Trey Lyles, Jack Cooley...Tonight will be a really good test for LJC and Cady.

Yep, I was just thinking the same thing. Hopefully they can continue to show promise while playing against some NBA talent

hopefully KA stops being passive

Hopefully Blackshear gets some more minutes tonight too

:bobo:flag:

Methinks SA will get butt kicked tonight. Utah staked with lottery picks on that roster. Just want to see a strong showing.

No legit Center on the Jazz.

Looking forward to watching LJC play again. His first impression was a good one.


Hopefully KA has a good performance tonight.

Exum is going to murder our scrub PG rotation. Or did he get hurt yesterday?

:bobo

Bryce Cotton? I'm curious to see how much hes improved from last year.

Have flag football tonight so will have to record the game. Will probably watch it later, realize I am watching DVR'd summer league basketball at midnight, and re-evaluate my life choices.

Won't happen, he has that little bit of Richard Jefferson pussy in him. :lol :bobo

He's going to contribute this season beaver fuzz. At least I'm going to look like an idiot until he does. I'm not giving up on him yet. Who out of this summer league squad would you put your money on earning a spot with the Spurs?

LJC and Anderson most likely will. Maybe Lalanne as well.

:flag:

I hope Kyle realizes he needs to do more. I would not mind mistakes of aggressiveness going to the basket. He drew fouls. lol I loved Livio's defense but there is no way he is a small forward. He can't dribble, he can't shoot and TBH really scary, fumbled the ball several times on passes or rebounds. There is just no way he is a SF right now. Before this upcoming season is over we will need Kyle to show us something else. I still have faith lol

I'd like to see blackshear and graham get the minutes at the 2. Let bertans run the 1.

same here

Kyle is the one with the most on the line and the one most likely to get regular season minutes. He's the only one I care about short-term. Need him to show something this SL.

I'm with you on Lalanne. He took on the challenge and never backed down from Okafor. Sure Okafor started to work him at the end but that's to be expected I mean he wasn't the projected number 1 pick for no reason. He got caught up in a 1 on 1 contest though hopefully he learned that's not the Spurs way. I can't blame him for having a competitive fire tough. Just hope he's not another Jaymichal Green like some were saying.

Cooley looked pretty good last night. Should be a good read on LJC.

Hoping they put LJC on hood sometimes. Would like to see him guard a 2/3, see how he does against them for a larger portion of the game.

Denmon is the Bonner of Summer League

Maybe Bertans needs to be signed.

LJC!!!!!!

This LJC/Lalanne duo is just unfair defensively

Bertans beasting

lol ljc stop shooting mah nigg

LJC short on all his jumpers so far

LJC can't hit water with an oar.

LJC shot is uuuuuugly

If we like Bertans, does that make us Bertfans?

Too bad they couldn't send Chip to develop Livio

LJC has the Stephen Jackson straight legged running style

Bertrand! Nice!!!

Sign Bertans now.

Bertans does not have similar game to Manu, lol

Lalanne. Love his defense.

KA being aggressive, he should he is bigger than all these scrubs

Would be funny if this Bert makes it to Spurs b4 his bro

Damn, they're all playing well :tu

Really like Bertans' passing so far.

The Big 3 looking pretty good -- Bertans, Lalanne and (to some extent) LJC.

even the SL team is stacked

There you go KA.
