Here's hoping we get a coach who let's LA, Lillard and Batum just play ball. Because that's the only 3 options we got.

 

[jobber]

No more basketball after this game for a whole 39 hours. Time to find a new hobby.

In the 4 exhibitions, USA has been outscored 116-115 in 58 minutes without any bigs (Chandler, Love or Davis) on the floor.

I wish Davis would get more playing time. Just give him all of Melo's minutes.

It might be laughed at but Spain has 3 legit big men that would eat Davis and Chandler alive. However without Rubio running point, Spain doesn't have a chance. The only complete team that could give the US a run would be Nigeria because Nigeria plays the ugliest basketball in the world and still wins. It's an amazing sight to see.

Or Love. Melo has been contributing...but Love on the other hand, has been doing poorly.

If I was 6'7 and had guys 5'10" or shorter guarding me I'd try to go through them too.

Didn't register that he was only a junior, and wont be a college freshman until next year. Pretty sure that video is only about 10 plays from a bunch of different angles anyway.

Got around to watching USA v Argentina.....

Melo is so bad on defense, I liked it better when he was on the opposing team.

Wait the game's already over? I thought it starts at midnight?

I have no idea who Octavius Spann is but I'm sad he never made it. We could have called him Doc Ock and it would have been great.

Are the Bucks going to keep both Udoh and Sanders with Henson playing great and with so much money committed to Dalembert and Gooden? Seems like the Spurs and Celtics and other contenders really need someone like Udoh or Sanders.

 

[linsivvi]

You guys are seriously getting hyped by Adam Morrison all over again?

Dude averaged 20 points in the summer league when he was with the Lakers too. He always plays well against inferior competitions.

The Clippers might have found themselves a sixth man for cheap. Dude turned the corner playing in Europe.

In January 2012, Morrison signed with Beşiktaş Milangaz for the rest of the 2011-12 season. However, he left the team in April 2012 due to a lack of playing time.

Sure he did. Not getting playing time in Turkey really helped his game.

charsace and Adam?

Or were they just being sarcastic? I couldn't tell.

 

[pilonv1]

I refuse to believe there isn't a spot for Adam Morrison in this league. After watching some of the wastes of space we saw last season he couldn't be any worse.

 

[Fjordson]

I honestly think Davis could contribute. I mean, not major minutes. He doesn't need to be the sixth man or anything, but as of now he isn't even seeing the floor (that is if this Argentina game is what to expect as far as playing time goes). With that reach and athleticism on defense I feel like he'd be a net positive against some of these teams.

Like when the ESPN dude asked Fran Fraschilla what his role might be he said he could get the towels...lmao. Seems weird to me.

Put him back on the Lakers. Nash will get him 20.

AMMO back on the Lakers is like an automatic ring.

I know this isn't NBA-related, but holy fuck!

Penn State is fined $60 million, banned from postseason for four years and loses scholarships

INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA took unprecedented actions against Penn State on Monday in response to the Jerry Sandusky child sexual molestation scandal, fining the school $60 million, cutting scholarships for four years, imposing a four-year postseason ban and vacating all wins from 1998-2011.

The only purpose to have him on your team is to use him as a human victory cigar. If he makes a FG, then it'd be like the crowd getting free tacos.

Or you can start him against the Bobcats just to troll MJ.

He'd be like the 11/12th man. I'd rather have him than Bobby Simmons at the moment.

Damian Lillard, Then Everyone Else: Ranking The 52 Rookies At Summer League

THE DISAPPOINTMENTS

32. Thomas Robinson, Kings

The scary thing about Robinson's Summer League is how differently he played than he did at Kansas. Rather than throw his weight around inside, which is why he was drafted No. 5 overall, Robinson was content to play point forward and drift out on the perimeter. There were so, so many possessions where his foot never even touched the paint. Unless the Kings are planning on turning their rebounding beast of a prospect into Boris Diaw, this was Robinson's doing.

Because he was given liberty to dominate the ball, Robinson managed to put up numbers. But his efficiency was poor, his turnovers (nearly five a game) were obscenely high, and the guy that seemed unafraid to go up against even the very best prospects looked like he wanted to prove he was someone else. There's room for experimentation in Summer League, but Robinson took it too far.

Pretty much.

I hope Keith doesn't allow that kinda shit during the regular season... but then again, who am I kidding? He'll probably experiment with starting T-Rob at SF with JT/DMC @ PF/C.

 

[diehard]

someone bothered to write stuff about 52 players from summer league?

thats beyond trax-esque
