Here is Day 3, the piston's game.

Ouch!

Reading what they have to say about Ramos especially does not leave you with a good feeling. Maybe they are being over critical but most of it sounds on point unfortunately. I hope his game improves, as well as Taylors. Sounds like OP and Andray are fairing better.

This article made it sound as if OP is going to be playing in France next season?!?

Yeah

He is still so young, but he really doesn't sound like he is living up to the expectation that Jordan had for him when he named him "Captain"


Oh well... he is only 21. Still I really thought he would be playing much better, I don't get it, the competition is pretty much the same here as the NBDL, he is hardly close to his 15 points and 8 rebounds he was averaging there


Blatche sounds so damn good though... and Oleksiy is so much more athletic and tough than I thought.

Why did they say Oleksiy is going back to France? I haven't heard that at all but they said that in Blatche's profile review... maybe it was a mistake...

[Skinned]

The OP to France stuff sounds like speculation on their part. There hasn't been any announcements from management on this, so I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

Here is the next one, I don't think the wiz are here, but feel free to compare the comments on players like Al Jefferson and Lemarcus Aldridge, players the same age as Ramos who are having little to less success than Party John.


Doesn't mean PJ will play any better, but may or may not make people less likely to call him a "Bum" at 21 years old when he would just be entering his Junior year of College...

Still sounding good, don't like Donnel not being mentioned though...

More of the same - us going against a much more talented Grizzlies S-league team.

That is the best description of PJ Ramos playing that I've seen and is pretty much exactly how I feel about the guy, very very promising as a 21 year old who would be entering his Junior year of school.

Blatche's problems aren't really problems, I think the Summer league coaches are just pushing him to do things he isn't quite ready to do in the regular season, but that doesn't mean he can't be a functional 3/4 swingman already - seeing as he would hardly be the #2 or #1 ball handler normally.


How can Blatche notthrow it down!

Blatche scores 26 and "Scooter" Mcfagdon lites up the Long Beach crowd - he is the 24 year old Globetrotter who has intermittently been playing with our summer team.

We only dressed 6 players for this game opting for an "ironman" approach.



Don't hit your elbow on the rim Andray! That is your shooting arm!
