Clippers - Grizzlies Summer League Open Thread

As we've discussed, this game should be a better test for the Clippers' front line.  Assuming both teams go with their top guys, Blake Griffin will be matched up with some time NBA starting power forward Darrell Arthur, while DeAndre Jordan will be opposite second overall pick Hasheem Thabeet

The Grizzlies' have been starting Thabeet and Arthur, along with first round pick DeMarre Carroll at small forward, second round pick Sam Young at shooting guard and former first rounder Marcus Williams at the point.  Young. at 6'6", might be an intersting test for Eric Gordon as well.

Often teams decide to take a longer look at the other guys with them in Vegas at some point, worrying even less about the outcome, and resting their stars.  I doubt this will be that game for either of these teams, since it makes sense for both to see how they stack up.  It's the first pick versus the second pick - in theory, it's one of the marquee games of the summer.

Night off?

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. He’s got nothing to prove. Not only that – he also had his knees packed in ice after the game Tuesday. Not reason to push him.

Big Difference without Gordon

And Taylor has been very disappointing.

Gordon is steadying, forceful, attracts attention. Don’t see the effect until it’s gone.

marcus williams

i havent seen the game to know how he is playing but i have always like williams game, if he is healthy and in shape clips should sign him to be the back up if this ai thing doesnt work

by ImranQ on Jul 16, 2009 9:07 PM PDT reply actions  

Marcus Williams

Problem with him is that he has failed already with 2 ordinary teams – The Nets & Warriors. If can’t get back-up minutes there, what would he get with us?

Thabeet wasn't much better

7 points 3 rebounds 0 blocks that is not a stat line you want from a number too pick. The Game was worth watching just to watch Griffin

In Gordon we trust

I thought DJ

Was okay, he wasn’t great but he ran down court hard.

wow

anthony morrow 47 points 18 of 26

by andrewexd on Jul 16, 2009 10:43 PM PDT reply actions  

Why do the gsw

Have the best summer league players: Marco, Randolph , now morrow

by Qlippers on Jul 16, 2009 10:47 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

because they always have the ball in their hand

summer league favors guards who tend to inflate their numbers. Alot of the times the best scorers in summer league don’t do well in the regular season (cough cough Bayless).

In Gordon we trust

Taylor’s personal fouls: 9
