I wonder how Plowden compares to Waters?

Still waiting to see something new from TJD.

I saw Podz take and make a real pull up jumper!

Plowden looks like a legit player. He shot 39% from 3 in G League. Plays D, very athletic.

Where does he fit on Warriors with all their wings? They just have too many guys.

There's no such thing as too many quality wings ...

I guess it depends on how you define quality.

Someone remind the US players in Dubai that there's a quite unforgiving dress code there, and that male in shorts or sleeveless t-shirts are not welcome.

Non vorrei mai che arrestino Tatum e poi gli tocca saltare una stagione.

I just imagined, for a moment, what a fantastic president of USA Bob Myers would be *sigh*

Apparently you have to be over 75 to run for president, so I vote for the newly-eligible Popovich.

Expand full comment

Wow, Pop sounds absolutely a great candidate!! With Kerr as vice?

Ma sei sicuro? Per me è un cialtrone alla Matteo Renzi

Sarà la disperazione per gli altri candidati.

Ma secondo te questi qui campanano qualcosa di politica? Io leggo dei commenti da mani nei capelli, o sui maroni se preferisci

Mani sui maroni e carta d'identità in bocca per il riconoscimento quando un rincoglionito schiaccerà per errore il bottone di lancio degli ICBM anziché il campanello per chiamare la cameriera.

D'altra parte, ti scrivo qui, forse te la sei persa, l'estensione della raggelante classica battuta:

- il paradiso è il luogo dove i poliziotti sono inglesi, i cuochi francesi, i meccanici tedeschi, gli uomini politici giapponesi, i ballerini argentini, gli amanti italiani, ed è tutto organizzato dagli svizzeri e finanziato dagli Americani;

- L'inferno è il luogo dove i meccanici sono francesi, i poliziotti tedeschi, i cuochi inglesi, i ballerini giapponesi, gli amanti svizzeri, gli uomini politici americani, ed è tutto organizzato dagli Italiani e finanziato dagli Argentini.

You're right

I'm worried about the line up of GSW, waiting for a big deal. So I write in my own language....too nervous

I can see that ‘Good Looking White Guy’ in a position of power (shoutout Gavin Newsom, Bob Iger, Every Megachurch Pastor) isn’t just a thing here in the U.S.

Didn’t watch the whole game but liked what I saw. Plowden and Bolden both looking sharp (until that Bolden injury, I hope it’s minor!). Podz seemed like each quarter he practiced different things. Q1, handling. Q2 draining 3s. Always organizing the defense. TJD looked good. Less of a good outing for Thompson, but Rowe was playing with strength.

And I continue to be impressed by team D and flowing O (except when Collins had the ball lol). Well coached team, players committed to the plan.

I really hope we see Plowden in the third 2 way. Spencer is gratuitous, and not compelling. Sorry kid. And hopefully guys like Thompson and Bolden can play for SC and keep developing but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them get 2 ways somewhere.

Expand full comment

If a big trade goes through where we lose soe of our front line guys we may need those Santa Cruz guys :)

Really agree about Plowden and the 2 way. Spencer is great but no chance of moving the needle. Plowden does...

Announcers made it all about Plowden but Rowe had a really good game

Expand full comment

Rowe did have a really good game and i was thinking how he was a really good G-league guy but just on the wrong side of the line for the NBA. He just doesn't move the needle (I'd rather have Knox)

Expand full comment

He did but Plowden has been impressive nearly every game.

Plowden with the turnover trying to attack the closeout from the corner

Can we give back Buddy and sign Plowden?

Yuri has looked bad, but to be fair, he is trying to take Ryan Dunn off the dribble, who I must emphasize is considered the best defender of this draft class.

Expand full comment

He shot 14% from the field last Summer League in 69 minutes of play with a .86 A/TO ratio. He's also 6 feet tall.

Just don't think he's any kind of prospect, Dunn or no Dunn defending him.

He’s been on SCW and played okay. He’s short so I don’t consider him a serious candidate to make the NBA.

Expand full comment

Yes. If he’s six feet then I’m….

Expand full comment

He's a defense minded PG who is having a tough time with TO's this game. Why they play him, I'm not sure.

Expand full comment

Suns cannot compete...........

Expand full comment

Is Sorkin not playing? He is the only other center left besides TJD.

Expand full comment

Last year's SL Collins looked good. This game he looks bad. Podz creates so many more opportunities for others, it's nigh and day.

Expand full comment

I didn't think he was very impressive last SL, but maybe I'm misremembering

Expand full comment

I remember liking him and pretty damn sure the shooting wouldn’t take care of itself. I recall him really hustling, serving up some dimes (that the receiving players often failed to convert) and barking orders from the start.

Expand full comment

+ 16 so far.

Expand full comment

Yuri TO's are killing him.

Expand full comment

And yet another one. Not what you want in your PG.

Expand full comment

He's never gonna make the team but he is a true PG and can play.

Expand full comment

Thompson having a tough shooting game.

Podz looking way more relaxed at the stripe — not "flicking" it so much.

The Bolden injury might be devastating for that goal unless Post comes back soon and dominates

Expand full comment

What happened to Bolden? I was making some juice.

Non-contact lower leg injury, he was sitting on the court for awhile after it happened and didn't look happy before getting helped off the floor by two teammates.

Hoping that it's not serious.

i know summer league wins don’t mean anything and people are just working on their game, but it is WAY more fun to watch SL when the team is playing well.
