NBA Summer League Day Eight Preview and Live Thread


I'm tired and I'm not going today.  I slept something like 11 hours last night.

You deserve a break, ATS. You’ve been doing a yeoman’s job.

Last night’s Spurs game was a blast, wasn’t it? Or . . . maybe it wasn’t a blast in person? Curious to hear your impressions.

Although this makes you sound like my grandmother shooing us away so she could watch her daytime soaps . . .

that is what I thought when I read it too

Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?

I’ve got a big write up coming. I took copious notes. I’ll give you some hints. I don’t think Blair was that great. Good, yes. But not great. Jack played his best game. Ian played his best game. Gist played his best game.

I didn’t do an interview last night, not officially, but I did chat with both James and Ian some.

I only know about it because of the post game discussion. I never head it myself.

I like “knwo” but I don’t think it’s good enough to make it into the lexicon.

Sorry, rik. Keep trying though. Remember, we’re always taking new submissions.

Rest ATS, you definitely deserve it. Looking forward to your stories.

Unless you don’t plan on writing, and are just trying to rest in order to party all night in the Vegas strip! If only you were allowed to blog about those stories. ATS hit the casinos too! God is definitely on the Spurs side this summer, and will be on your side as well.

Hey ATS, I don’t know if you know the answer to this, but… do you think that those of us without press credentials will be allowed to carry a big honking DSLR camera into the arena? I only ask because you said soemthing about not being able to take video footage.

McClinton writes like his roster spot is guaranteed. He is a very cheap way to fill the 14th roster spot. Its interesting that he would write for Spurs.com without a contract…..

We’re going to have a great veteran team and a team that wants to win now with a lot of great players I can learn from and get better from. Being a rookie and wanting to learn a new system, it really helps having some of these guys who know all the cracks of the system, knowing where to be and who to ask is big for me and is a blessing.

Even if he is under contract, I think he’ll be in Austin most of the year.

Jack Mac may be one of those guys that you have to sign to stash. If he gets in the D and starts shooting like he did in college, it would be tough for another team with an injury to a 2 guard to bypass a guy like him. I think Rik is dead-on here. Jack may have a spot on the roster in SA, but he’ll be in Austin more often than not.
