Summer League: Game Thread #6 (5:30 start)
by AusTechSpur
on Jul 19, 2008 9:12 AM CDT
Last night was a fun game thread. We struggled with the video for most of the night, but we did get to see George make a couple shots and Gist throw down a couple dunks. I have a slight hangover, but that box wine will do that to you.
Things were slow on the donation front. We bottomed out with zero. I'm looking to beat that tonight.
Donate here. Just $2 is all I'm asking for.
You can find a link to the game here. You have to click on the 'Watch Live' button in the top middle. It looks like an television with rabbit ears.
Tonight we suit up against the D-League Ambassadors.

i’m putting in the first request of the day for SiMA to post a photo of his Spurs wall of fame.

The Wall of Fame or the Game?
If you mean the game, follow the link that at the top. It should be viewable. Well, on the internets. Probably not on television.

Apparently the NBA has greatly underestimated (overestimated?) how pathetic our lives are. I want to watch some minor league basketball, dammit!

I didn’t think it would work. I’ve tried it off and on all day and there was no footage of the Mavs/Iran game.

Am I using the same link? I click on the TV thing, it says “connecting” then “ready” then… nothing happens.

ive got an nba logo with a “live event” title across the bottom. nothing else. the time keeper is running, so im connected to something. no sound though – and no game. guess i went premature earlier…..

When I was getting the “live event” before they were on the 20-30 minute delay.

The Rocky Mountain Revue isn’t run quite as smoothly as the NBA Summer League presented by EA Sports.

EA sports had a logo on the live event page i was looking at previously….so im gonna blame them for this too….......

I’m working on a way of watching it. Go to spurstalk for details.

you know its a poorly broadcast game when clyde frazier is the star. the other guy keeps calling Gist, Jist and there is a ridiculuos amount of quentin richardson on the telecast.

Hill draws a questionable charge that there’s no way a rook will get in the nba.

Ian just goes baseline on some fucktard and slams it on him
by Aaronstampler on Jul 19, 2008 6:22 PM CDT 0 recs
Sure he would. He’d get that call against Kobe everyday and twice on Sundays.

I’m looking forward to the Ian Mahinmi era. Surely there are some backup centers he can dominate.

I’m not sure if it is the same ref or not, but it looks like her. She called a game I saw in Austin. She’s about 6 feet tall.

the guy says Hill only has 3 pts so far and Tolliver just took an awful, awful shot.

They may be getting the day off. This would be their 6th game in a row.

Powell, tolliver, watkins, hill, and powell
That whole possession looked terrible. It looked like a Spurs regular season possession.

I found this today at the worldwidefeeder from Marc Stein:
One Eastern Conference executive is convinced that Anthony Tolliver will make San Antonio’s roster as a “shooting 4-man.”
by AusTechSpur on Jul 19, 2008 6:29 PM CDT 0 recs
A) Eastern Conference executives are less informed about the Spurs than your average Spurstalk wingnut
B) Isn’t that what Bonner is?

36-22 at half. Boy all that work for the link and what we’re witnessing is proof that the competition is so bad it really doesn’t have any value in evaluating our guys. The positive here is that now we know how to watch tomorrow’s game with the Mavs.

36-22 good guys at half. its kind of men against boys. dont know the stats, but mahinmi is looking strong and it looks like powell and tolliver are active again as well.

Stein also had a lot of words about players going to Europe.
Brandon Jennings might be getting all the media attention for deciding to respond to college eligibility issues by spending his mandatory season of NBA prep in Europe, but that’s not the travel story that has teams around the league buzzing.
NBA execs are far more concerned about the rising strength of the euro vis-a-vis the declining fortunes of the American dollar.
After one season of great financial sacrifice to try to make it with the Grizzlies in Memphis, Spain’s Juan Carlos Navarro couldn’t say no to a lucrative return to Europe with his old friends at Spanish giant Barcelona. Argentina’s Carlos Delfino followed suit this week, leaving the Toronto Raptors not for the return to the Detroit Pistons that he was offered, but for a fat contract from Khimki BC in Russia.
Sources say Delfino will be earning nearly 3 million euros annually - tax free, of course - with his new club. One expert on the matter says that equates to an NBA salary of more than $9 million when you factor in the exchange rate and the tax money Delfino won’t have to give back.
At no time since his arrival on these shores in 2004, obviously, has Delfino been anything close to a $9 million player in the NBA.
Khimki is also trying to sign Delfino’s former Toronto teammate, Jorge Garbajosa, who is fresh off securing his release from the Raptors last month after an interminable contract wrangle stemming from a serious leg injury. But Garbajosa is expected to accept a similarly healthy compensation package from his hometown club in Spain, Unicaja Malaga, despite interest from the San Antonio Spurs.
The overseas gold rush is such these days that Pops Mensah-Bonsu - still trying to establish himself in the league after a brief stint with the Mavericks in 2006-07 - was this week offered an estimated 850,000 euros to play in Spain for DKV Joventut. Which is probably too much cash for someone like Mensah-Bonsu to surrender, even if he lands a minimum-wage guaranteed contract in the NBA this season.
Yet we have found at least one prominent target for the big foreign clubs who is determined to stay stateside. New Jersey Nets restricted free agent Nenad Krstic has been repeatedly linked to my favorite club abroad - Israel’s Maccabi Tel-Aviv - but Krstic is determined to play out his comeback from a knee injury in the best league in the world, with the Nets quietly willing to move Krstic in a sign-and-trade if they can’t work out a short-term deal to keep him.

This blows. I love Euro and foreign players. The more the merrier. And now it looks like unless they get paid superstar money, they’ll all leave. Thanks George Bush!

The only way Stern and the owners can solve this problem is to get rid of the rookie scale for foreigners and let owners pay them whatever their agents can get for them. The players union might not like it though, and it’ll be interesting how the rules would work for American players purposefully going to Europe for a year than declaring themselves for the draft, just so they can be paid more.

As good as that money is, we might see some American players going over there for cash. It’s not like Magette went to the Warriors to win. Those teams are going to start going after some good American players with large sums of money eventually.
