    Good Lord... nothing like going from a horror flick shooting 3's to Jimmie Walker showing up on your screen for a Medicare insurance commercial.

    Garuba needs to watch a lot of film of NBA and of his play in the summer league.

    He's got the skills but he is getting too close to some of these guards, and is trying to much to steal at times.

    If he slides his feet and just plays good, physical stay in front defense combined with strong team defense I can actually see a top defensive player in there.

    He's just not there fundamentally at all yet, which is a bit of a surprise. But i guess the overseas game, while still good and fun, is in a slower, more physical style, so he can get up on slower guards, body them more, stuff like that. In the NBA those guys are going to blow by you. They might not have the skills of the euros, but they have them on athleticism...

    The Rockets have attempted 33 shots... 26 have been 3's.

    Garuba painful to watch on offense, consistently out of position. Defense hasn’t made up for it either

    Man, this BSPN announcer sounds like Carlton when talking about Dame's rap album.

    Both of them are about to drive me nuts. It's starting to sound like a Dame Lillard rap career promo.

    through the legs dunk. If I was talented enough to be in the NBA, I wouldn't let him get away with that. I got too much pride in a meaningless summer league game. Im risking my contract for a flagrant! lol

    Hurt should have taken one for the team. Guy could always go back and get his Duke degree…

    Despite us bricking 50 threes, Portland only has a 6 point lead.

    Blakeney just said they have to run the Rockets off the 3 point line. Uh ... why? They're taking twice as many 3's as 2's and hitting them at a 27% clip. I'd let us shoot 'em. Just keep Brooks off the line. :D

    maybe overseas or at least the teams he's with when he gets blown by his teammates cover them and he can switch to the nearest player

    He would've had to catch up to him, first. I think he's still trying to get up the court to defend that play.

    Hurt has to one up him with a 360 windmill or he will lose all of his street cred
