Clippers vs. Wizards Summer League - Open Thread

PrintBased on his Tweets today, sounds like Blake Griffin is planning on playing. You never know in Summer League who's going to get the night off.
Of course, If Eric Gordon gets the night off again, then it might not matter much who else plays - we've said before that Summer League tends to dominated by guard play, and with Mike Taylor struggling, the Clippers don't have much of a backcourt in Vegas without Gordon.
Griffin has been consistently great up front, averaging 20 points (11th in Vegas) and 12 rebounds (second) in his three games. Not as consistent for DeAndre Jordan, who had two solid games and then disappeared in the third one.
Mike Prada of Bullets Forever is courtside at the game, so I'd suggest you keep an eye on his open thread as well - he'll have some insights for you. The Wizards SL roster is loaded - Nick Young has been lighting it up. JaVale McGee is there, Andray Blatche has played some, Javaris Crittendon also - if the Summer League is generally made up of first and second year players, the Wizards are unique in that they've got several more experienced guys there. Maybe it makes up for trading away their first round pick this season. The McGee versus Jordan matchup should be fun assuming that DJ shows.

quality is absolutely horrible.
Apparently
JaVale McGee leveled Blake and they called a flagrant. Not what we want happening in Summer League.

box score

In Gordon we trust
looking at the box score
mcalarney is sure looking like a good replacement in case Swish gets a better offer somewhere else…
Roger Sterling: I bet there were people in the Bible walking around, complaining about "kids today."
Don Draper: Kids today, they have no one to look up to. Cuz they're looking up to us.
Yeah I was at the game last night and he played well
He really doesn’t need the ball to be effective. He gets up really high for rebounds and is beating out BG and DJ every so often which is why he’s averaging 7.5 boards. I know it’s a small sample size but it’s still impressive seeing as Blake and DJ seem to gobble everything up.
Man was that game terrible though; terrible officiating and terrible game by both teams. Though I guess you could argue no one could get into a rhythm because every other possession was foul. Crowd was booing them all game…..Sure they’ll be NBA refs next season haha.

MDSr and BD watching the first half together.

Why did DJ get tossed?
hey, BCF, can you post the score every couple of plays?

not about the score it's about the individual performances
and the most important person BG has looked great
In Gordon we trust
Only time this is true in basketball
our summer league is only about BG’s dominance, MT’s suffering, and if NCM or McAlarney play well enough for training camp.
http://lucasnbablog.blogspot.com/
out of them NCM and McAlarney
I think NCM has performed well enough to qualify for a spot
In Gordon we trust
McAlarney might get into training camp
but NCM will probably make the regular season team.

that game was worth watching just to see Griffin
best part was Griffins Dunk from one step in the paint he looked like he was flying.
In Gordon we trust
