Kings vs Raptors - Summer League Game 3

[nebs]

Huge round of applause. We made a FT.

 

[annihilator_33]

We're on the board lol

 

[Glenn]

Yeeeaaahhhhh!!!!

 

[dude12]

The good news is we have held them to 12 points with 2:15 left......

 

[Glenn]

Now we've got them where they want us.

 

[Mike]

This game is painful to watch offensively. On defense weve done ok, but this is going to be one long game at this rate.

 

[Spike]

Well, I guess it's time to go brew a beer...
I'll check back later.

We have lulled them into complacency. Don't go unless you brew more for me.

 

[Glenn]

I presume I could look but who is our tallest guy? We look like a team of guards and SFs.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Did anyone else think Lockett's layup was about to bounce out?

 

[jaysoonii]

keep the starters on the bench ^^

We have one center on the whole team.

 

[Glenn]

Me! Nothing comes easy.




Responding to the query about the layup.

 

[Glenn]

We have one center on the whole team.

I hate to be a debbie downer over a summer league roster but it looks like we have one NBA quality player and another who WILL be one because he was drafted high. Makes you wonder if this experience has done McLemore any good or maybe it has disheartened him. He has disheartened me but that's a different issue.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Ben McLemore - tremendous letdown so far

 

[nebs]

Wow a wide open Ben lets a good cross court pass glide through his arms and legs and out of bounds.

 

[Glenn]

Now THAT play shows how nervous young Ben is. Ball went between his legs. I'd be tempted to sit him out and let him watch not in a punitive way but to settle him down. Being as kind as I can be, he must be feeling a tremendous responsibility. I note Otto Porter is sucking also.

Is this worse than Jimmer's and TRob's summer league experiences?

 

[Dime Dropper]

McCallum dribbles too much, missed an open Ben a couple of times too.

McCallum reminds me of Tyreke at times without the dash to the rim.

TRob never seemed to have a clue. I think Ben looks like has a clue but can't make it work. Can't remember Jimmer oddly.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

cant believe this game is tied....

 

[Glenn]

McLemore needs to have several sit downs with the Rock. I'm sure Mitch would be happy to mentor him.

 

[ElRey]

Nice dunk by Ben. Though Ben has definitely struggled, frankly our SL TEAM stinks as well, and Ben's not the type that can create his own shot and take over like some players.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

We did it! 2/2 FT and a slam dunk for the tie :3

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Ben was wide open in the corner on that last shot

 

[funkykingston]

cant believe this game is tied....

2 assists and 14 turnovers for Toronto tells a large part of that story.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Wasn't that a travel by the Raptors? It looked like his pivot foot slid or came off the ground... ?

thats what ive been saying. this type of game is not going to highlight Ben. he will be a lot more effective when he is on the floor with Vasquez, Cousins etc.
