PrintGood lord almighty. We are halfway through. Another 6 games on tap today. I'll be on 4 of them.
Make sure to vote in the ATS Summer League Microscope poll. I'll probably do more than one guy during the day.
Come on in and see what Day 6 has in store for us.
Wow, what a horrific song to come on when you are in Vegas and away from your wife for 2 weeks. The Police doing The Bed's Too Big Without You. Killer fricking bass line.
We don't have anybody that hasn't played, bu the following teams are playing their second game: Wizards, Knicks, Bulls, Blazers, D-League Select, Suns, and Nuggets. Yep, these are Spurs time. The rosters are behind the links.
- Knicks vs Pistons at 3:00 - Jordan Hill and the Pistons crew of rookies
- Bucks vs Bulls at 5:00 - Brandon Jennings and the Bulls rookie power forwards
- Raptors vs Suns at 7:00 - DeRozan and Clark
- Kings vs D-League Select at 7:30 - Evans against The Team
- Blazers vs Rockets at 9:00 - Will Dorsey bury Bayless into the Cox Pavilion floor?
- Nuggets vs Wizards at 9:30 - Some dudes vs some dudes. Actually, the Wiz are loaded. They have McGuire, Young, McGee, and some other stuff I can't remember.

The opener is 15 minutes away. It looks like Jordan Hill is the specimen under the Microscope for this one.

Crap, I thought this was Bulls-Knicks but it is Bulls-Pistons. Daye and Hill are tied.

Daye seems pretty serious without having watched that last game. Before the draft, I thought he was the ideal player for us to try to trade up for to play behind RJ. 27 points on 17 shots with 10 free throw attempts. 13 rebounds too.
Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?
I’m looking at Daye’s stats now and he just flat-out dominated the game. Good pick by Joe D.

So who’s playing right now? Which game do I need to tune in to?

Well, I already linked to it, but in case you didn’t see it, read “”http://www.rufusonfire.com/2009/7/13/945617/goat-by-erik-germani" >Goat". It goes beyond basketball, but it speaks to a fan.

ATS, how’s Omri Casspi panning out?

I think he looked pretty good in the limited time I saw him. I haven’t seen their last two games.

Just looking at the boxscore. Your boy is killing it offensively, it seems.

If you can compare him to an NBA vet (an all-star or otherwise), who would it be?
Also, who the hell is Ekene Ibekwe? He has a technical foul.

I’m not sure. I’ll have to think about that for a while.

He might be in his own class. I can’t think of anybody’s game that really like his. Maybe a young Kobe.

That’s a pretty high standard you’re setting for him there. I’ve read something that he could become the next T-Mac, in terms of skills, that is.

Ekene Ibekwe just got taken off the court on a stretcher with a neck brace on. Scary shit. Word is that he landed on his chin after the game winning block.

Word is that Ekene is good. Glad to hear it.

blair
espn is reporting that blair signed his contract.
Someone might have mentioned this before, but I guess I totally missed it. Does anyone know why Oden isn’t playing for the TrailBlazers?
Is he really that much glass?
"He's Manu Ginobili"
I think they already have a pretty good idea of his skills, and want to see what the newer guys can do.
I used to be a c+x kind of guy, but nowadays I just go nuts with my z. - LatinD
Retire Bowen's #12!
Oh, I thought it was because he still has ACL’s. =)

Damn… I wanted to write a post about Slam Dunk, the manga, and I ended up rereading the last 8 volumes. Every basketball fan should read this.

Its incredible how much Inoue respects the game and knows about basketball. I always liked the attention to little details, like brands, designs, styles of players and so forth. Its nothing like other sports mangas. Even if the japanese players skills are way too good, still you can sense a lot of realism on the games. And finding parallels between characters/nba players is so much fun…..
btw ryonan’s center is a depicture of Shaq..right? Giant center who gets beaten by a more experienced/polished center, has serious free throw issues and he is always the biggest guy on the court.
"Rock and Roll angels bring that HardRock Hallelujah"
I’ve never heard of this. Is it available online, or only in manga form?
Five in '10
I want my Manu o;—-)
It’s all translated here.
If you prefer to download it to your computer, I’d need to do some digging but it’s also available.

one random opinion
just saw some highlights on austin daye this morning. heard so many different accounts of his status during the pre-draft days and all that. he was everything from the next robert horry to a stick figure that would get pushed around by your typical D-Leaguer.
i would have to say that he looked pretty good from what i saw of him yesterday – but i do make this note. it looks as if he has put on 25 pounds since NCAA tournament time in March. If you think he is a stick figure now……….well let me just say that it looks iike he is trending in the right direction.
I can’t wait for Sunday when we get to see Blair vs Thabeet and Haddadi vs Blair and Thabeet vs Yawn and Haddadi vs Yawn….That game is going to be insanely good. They also have the evil Marcus Williams, Blair’s draft brother Sam Young, DeMarre Carroll, and Darrell Arthur. Evil Marcus Williams is doing great so far so I really want Cubits to knock him down a peg or two. I’m just glad the schedulers knew that this game was the real deal and left it as the last game for both teams.
3 Spurs games in the next 4 days. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?
