If we're going to play this type of "run and chuck" style, we need a coach who knows how to coach it. Call up the "Big Baller". Shoot . . . LiAngelo Ball can shoot better than some of these guys we have in Summer League.

Actually they're much better. Most of these guys were either the star player or the #2 player on their college team. On most college teams, you maybe have 2 guys who even have a shot at the NBA ( unless you're talking about the 1 and done programs ).

Starters PG - Schröder G - Baze F - Prince PF - Collins C - Dedmon Bench 6th - Spellman ( PF ) 7th - Bembry ( F ) 8th - Young ( PG ) 9th - Dorsey ( G ) 10th - Plumlee ( C ) 11th - Huerter ( G/F ) 12th - Muscala ( F/C ) Ladies and gentlemen . . . your Atlantaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaawwwwkkkkksssss

Thanks to Dwight Howard and Wilson Chandler, Trae isn't trending yet. Give it time though, if he has a duplicate performance like this in the 2nd half.

LOL . . Collins is like . . "These dudes suck ass."

Crazy that Trae had to make a Joe Johnson deep 3, just to get on the scoreboard.

OK Collins, your Summer League is OVER. Good job man. Shut him down like the Lakers did Brandon Ingram did last year. No more to see from him.

I don't know how people figure he has bbiq questions, when he's been the dominant player in his state and one of the best players on the AAU circuit.

Reds 4 - White Sox - 0 We're making that push for the wild card. Only 9 games out now.

Not with the new lottery odds. Top 3 picks all have the same odds 14% Picks 4 - 6 are only 5% away In the old system, the worst team had a 25% chance of picking 1st, and a 37% chance of picking 4th. In this new system, the worst team has a 14% chance of picking 1st, and a 48% chance of picking 5th.

In high school, I would always joke that I was All-State in warm ups. I literally couldn't miss a shot from about 21 feet and in. Gotta do it in the game Trae.

Assistant GM in New Orleans . . . and probably the cause of the domino effect of Demarcus Cousins signing with Golden State. He pretty much said in an interview last week that New Orleans had to decide if they were going to have a life with or without Boogie. He went out of his way to cite how they played without him, after he got hurt. So it was probably Ferry that convinced Dell Demps to go after Julius Randle, and sign him to a modest 2 year deal ( the exact same deal that he signed Millsap to ), instead of spending big money on Cousins.

Of course it's an overreaction to one summer league game. Had Trae scored 28 points and made 7 threes, there's no way you make this post. Just be honest about your feelings.

Can't really make the claim that Summer League is unorganized anymore. This Lakers vs Kings game is high quality, with both teams looking very prepared. So if a Summer League team looks unprepared, that's on them. Trae overall was bad today. That's OK. Just don't make it 2 in a row.

3 blocks by Bagley now . . and 1 that won't count because of a foul on Giles.

No he doesn't.

Those are his Olympics buddies. No way he'll destroy the Warriors. The Warriors may not win it all this year, but it won't be because of Cousins.

Trae's opening game eerily reminded me of Lonzo Ball's last summer. Lonzo was doing some of the same things offensively, like jacking up long 3s and taking shots under pressure, instead of letting the game come to him. It took a few games, but then Lonzo had the MONSTER game in which he controlled everything.

In other news . . . Dorsey looked like garbage tonight too.

Trae Young was about to trend #1, with people straight clowning him. Then Twitter EXPLODES with the DeMarcus Cousins news. Unbelievable.

WTF . . . Golden State gets Boogie? This isn't fair. WOW. And he took a deep discount.

Oh My God.

This dude Jaren Jackson though . . . lol.

Trae drawing a ton of fouls on drives. Will he get those calls in the regular season though?

3rd assist for a 3 . . . keep doing that
