Clippers vs. Chicago - Game 2 of Summer League

PrintThe Clippers lost their first Summer League contest by 25 points, 89-64 to the Washington Wizards. At least that's better than the Bulls did - they lost by 28, 99-71 to the Nuggets. So maybe the Clippers can handle this opponent.
If all goes well during my drive across the desert, I should be in Cox Pavilion to watch this one. The game is once again on NBA-TV and ESPN-3. Tip-off is at 5 PM. Use this as your open thread to discuss the game.
With the signing of Willie Warren today, the Clippers now feature four summer league players who are under contract. Of course Warren's deal is probably not guaranteed - it's likely contingent on him making the regular season roster, so the signing is little more than a formality. If he plays well enough during training camp, then he'll be on the regular season roster - if he doesn't, he won't. Same as yesterday. The other three with contracts are vet DeAndre Jordan and first round picks Al-Farouq Aminu and Eric Bledsoe.
The other players on the floor to watch closely are Sofoklis Schortsanitis and Nik Caner-Medley. Big Sofo is close to being a lock to make the team, who happened to look terrible in his first Summer League action on Monday. NCM is a long shot, who happened to be the Clippers' best player on Monday. Sofo will have to play much better to finally make it to the NBA - and NCM will have to play just as well or better to finally fulfill his dream as well.
For the others, there are some adjustments they need to make after the first contest.
Bledsoe needs to slow down a step. He's fast, get that. Speed in and of itself isn't that great a weapon. It's the change of pace and change of direction that are unstoppable. Watch Bledsoe's college teammate John Wall. Yes, he has great speed, but watch him change pace. Bledsoe needs to develop those subtleties to his game. He's got talent, no question. I compared him toe Russell Westbrook after the draft, more because he played out of position in college on a team with a more heralded true point guard. Seeing his quickness and athleticism yesterday, the comparison is more apropos on the basketball court than I originally thought. But he has to get it under control and prove he can run a team/
DeAndre needs to do what he does: rebound, finish around the rim, block shots. It was fun watching them run plays for him yesterday, sure. Only it wasn't.
AFA needs to get aggressive. He needs to listen to Suvivor's Eye of the Tiger before the game. Or maybe just the Theme from Rocky. Me personally, Dramarama's Anything, Anything was always my favorite 'getting pumped up' before a game song. Whatever it takes, AFA needs to get more intense out there.
The Bulls spent the summer clearing out their roster to make room for two max free agents, which means they don't have much top drawer talent on their Summer League roster. James Johnson is the only one on their regular roster currently. They traded away their first round pick to the Wizards (although Kevin Seraphin isn't playing in Vegas for the Wizards either). They didn't have a second round pick. Taj Gibson is not here. But Morris Almond and Derrick Byars can both shoot, so at the very least the Clippers need to do a better job of staying on shooters than they did on Monday.

NOW let the real season begin
that first game was a scrimmage. Want to see some improvement handling the ball by EB. Aminu be aggressive. AND DJ knocking down his FTs
got confused for a second
Forgot EB= Eric Bledsoe : P
So when do games usually start?
I know last time we were waiting on the other game to finish.

Hey guys
Guess who left his laptop cord in LA? That would be me. Wouldn’t be such a disaster, if my laptop battery worked. Sitting between KA and Adam from RaptorsHQ courtside. Adam let me borrow his laptop to leave a comment. The other disaster is that I have a assignment due for J-school Saturday…. so I’ll be shopping for a laptop cord, or maybe a new laptop, later tonight. If Ziv is out there, maybe he can post something on the front page today?

Clippers ponder pursuing McGrady
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
41 minutes ago
Email Print As much as Tracy McGrady(notes) has wanted to play with LeBron James(notes) for the past two seasons, it’s still unclear if the Miami Heat are prepared to offer him a contract. Nevertheless, league sources say a fresh possibility for NBA employment has surfaced for McGrady: the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers have had conversations with McGrady’s agent, and team officials could soon decide to watch him work out for a closer inspection. With Travis Outlaw(notes) signing a free-agent contract with the New Jersey Nets, the Clippers are resolved to sign a swingman with some scoring punch off the bench. They’ve spent the last few days gathering information on McGrady and deciding how they want to proceed.
McGrady wanted the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign him last season after his release from the Houston Rockets, but it never happened. He played the rest of the season with the New York Knicks, where a few flashes of his old self were tempered with his recurring knee issues. He shot 39 percent and averaged 9.4 points in 24 games with the Knicks.
McGrady has wanted badly to join James with the Heat, but Miami can sign him only to the veteran’s minimum and has yet to make him an offer. The Chicago Bulls have also shown some interest in McGrady.

Bled's off-ball D is horrible
which isn’t unusual for a young kid. He really needs to work on not losing his man when he doesn’t have the ball. Too much cheating.
He looks way too passive tonight. Looks scared to make turnovers. He’ll have to find that happy medium that allows him to stay aggressive w/o turning it over. Today, too far the other way. Not attacking at all.
Jordan and Sofo together now
Clippers gotta be wondering if he’s going to make it. But he’s better than this.

Wow
They actually look worse today than Monday.
Bled’s starting to hang his head a bit there. Not sure when to attack and when to make the play. Just tossing the ball all over the place. Not good.
DJ looks awful again. Way to fight AFA for the rebound, lose it and watch the Bulls scub dunk.
AFA looks better today
Bledsoe looks horrible. They have really struggled when Aminu was out of the game.

Clippers score 12 in about 16 minutes. They had, what, 6 in the second quarter. I thought they looked bad Monday. This is significantly worse.

Watch him on catches. His upfake is just that… a fake. I don’t believe he’s going to shoot that ball, and neither does his defender. About four times this half, he’s made the catch on the perimeter with space, pump faced, and had nowhere to go when he pulled it down, because he was never serious about shooting it and the defender didn’t bite.

That's not good
Bledsoe just drove and kicked to the diagonal three… but Richardson was in the corner (that’s I think five passes into the stands now). OK, that’s one thing. Then he complained to Richardson that he was not in the right spot. NEVER do that. Especially a point guard. It’s always your fault when you’re the point guard…. even when it’s not your fault, it’s your fault. Can’t lead a team if you don’t man up.

I feel like he doesn't really have an idea set for what he's going to do with the ball.
I’ve seen him drive to the basket hard, just to jump and get caught in the air looking for an open man. I’m guessing this is the case with most inexperienced point guards, and I hope it’ll just work itself out.
I don't agree with that at all
A PG’s, or any leader for that matter, responsibility isn’t to always fall on the sword.
If the guy wasn’t in the right spot, you tell him where the right spot is and why.
Now just complaining about it isn’t good. And obviously it’s bad if it actually was Bled’s fault. But it’s not good leadership just to always take blame.
eh, he's a young guy that was propped up after the last game and now he's come crashing back to earth this game
hopefully it’s just temporary frustration bubbling over
he better get used to losing and heartbreak though if he’s gonna play on this team.

I didn't think anything could be more deflating than Monday's game.. I was WRONG!

we saw the fanposts after game one, I can only imagine the fanposts we'll see tonight

its just Summer League
I think what alot of people have to realize is it doesn’t matter who wins…mostly all those guys aren’t going to make the team…thats the one thing that confuses me why are these people playing crap defense and trying to make an NBA squad?
I think the most we can look for is improvement over time…Bledsoe will get better I have no doubt…Aminu still looks a little lost….SOFO is starting to get a rhythm call me crazy but with that body I think he can do pretty well in NBA if he learns to pass out of doubles and what not
I think its because this gives us a glimpse of the players
how they look in summer league gives us a small insight on what the player looks like currently, and so far, its not pretty.
Okay-I think I've jumped into panic mode
This was a painful game to watch—our guys look lost out there.
"Success only comes before work inside of a dictionary!"
How good would of summer league team last season be without BG?
I mean he really changed the game for his teammates. I don’t think DJ has regressed, he’s just the main focal point in the paint. That wasn’t the case with Blake out there. And don’t forget Blake was making some amazing passes in the post with ease. Not to mention we he Gordon out there for a game or two.
I do feel a bit worried but I also know Baron can run this team and create for others. Kaman demands double teams if not triple teams when he gets the ball in the post and Blake is going to take this team to new levels. Our current roster will make the lives of Bledsoe and Aminu much easier.
Lets just see how things pan out when we have guys out there playing to win, not to win a spot on the team.

dont forget ego
between blake and gordon, that team had lots of star power
Sheesh
Missed the game, just read through this thread.
Yikes!
Wow 50 points for the whole game. Impressive! Thats hard to do.
Uh and it doesn’t appear Aminu is going to a very efficient player. 3-15 and No assists? Yikes!
Set a record by getting banned for the 8th time!
After rehab I saw the light and promise to be kinder and gentler!
Probation is a very slippery slope!
dude every sucked out there
surprised we even got some assists. No one was making any damn shots

from what i have seen so far with Aminu is really positive
out of all the SF’s in the draft Aminu I think is the most complete player. He is not shooting well, but I like his moves to the baskets he makes, I think he is going to find his offensive touch. Also is there another SF that has been playing better than AFA. The stats don’t look good, but would we rather have Udho or Paul George. Paul George isn’t playing very well. In fact most of the draft picks besides Wall and Cousins ahead of Aminu are not playing well at all. So I am very satisfied with our pick. Aminu also is grabbing boards very consistently and he runs the floor solidly. The main downside is he really does go to his right too much and he is still hesitant. But I am really high on him because of his athleticism and defense and the knack he has on the offensive glass.
However this is summer league it doesn’t matter..

ya actually now that i looked again they are pretty good
but i think Aminu was a good pick, I think he is going to be good

holy cow were we watching the same game??
both AFA and bledsoe played horrible ….i hope the lackluster performance is due to the fact they dont want to get hurt…..
Depends on when you tuned in
if you watched the first 5 minutes Aminu was terrific. If you look only at the box score, he did rebound well and got to the line quite a few times. Bledsoe had another out of control performance. He’s much more SG than PG right now. Not sure how comfortable we should be with him and Foye as our back up ball handlers.
FA in 2010.

What a youth movement
If these guys cant score more than 60pts something is wrong. Is it the offensive sets what is it. Paul George would have done great a whole lot better than AA. Its like he doesnt want to shoot the ball the clips just look horrible. Hopefully they get better The lakers won with bumbs one there team. The clips have 2first round guys 2 other guys who could have been 1st round guys (warren and DJ) And a guy whos been playing against good talent in europes big league. This is all the clippers can put up. There better sign Tmac and AI just for the fact that when we lose 45 games we can blame it on them. This is piss poor horible why arent they diving on the ground for loose balls and doing the little things. Show that their hungry and want to change the clips culture of losing. If the movement is going to be youth they need to at least play like they been in organize ball before and not some first time NJB team
oh yah....i would be surprised if sofo is signed...
from the looks of it, this guy would be dominated against real NBA competition
