wanted really bad to see jack mac drop that last one in. kinda bummed that blair didnt get a chance to rip off thabeets arm again tonite too.

kind of perplexed about the distribution of minutes. if we dont play blair, then dont you give guys other than yawn, george and malik more of a chance?

either way, the mildly exciting summer sked is over. bring on the regular season schedule release! is that the next semi-big thing?

I can’t wait for the schedule release. My friend said that NBA.com says it will be released in late July or August. Fairly sketchy. They are probably waiting for more rookies to get signed and the FA market to settle so they can create ideal match-ups on the national games.

How about Jack shooting 4-10?

progress is measure in such small steps. i was impressed that he continued to look for the ball and his shot. the only way to get out of a funk is to keep chucking it up there………..

It actually really annoyed me when we gave the defensive 3 seconds foul shot to Hill instead of McClinton. Every shot will help him find a rhythm. He noticed his defense more tonight and it looked really good to me.

Love the nickname for Thabeet. He looks overmatched.

Have a safe trip home, ATS. Thanks for all the wonderful insight and hard work. I’ll buy you a drink next time I see you. Oh, hell… I’ll even buy you some puffy tacos.

Indeed, ATS, thanks for all the great posts. It’s been a fun Summer League. In fact, I think it’s been the first Summer League I’ve paid attention to. Ever.

After the game, Ian asked me if I knew a kid who wanted his shoes. I told him my nephew who had a birthday the day I left. So, he signed them and gave them to me.

He has big feet.

Props on becoming Ian’s almost-friend, and scoring those – your hard work didn’t go unnoticed by anyone, it seems.

I don’t know what surprises me more, that kaiser (as much as he seems to read every post on PtR) actually has missed all of the dozens of times it’s been posted; or that you actually passed up the chance to post it yet again.

I’m not skeerd. I’ve developed an immunity to ATS’s ankle.

After my foot surgery, I took a similiar pic of my swollen, black and blue foot, but finally deleted it off my phone when people would ask to see pics of my kids, and in the middle of cute toddler faces, this monstrosity would appear. Needless to say, they were less than enthused.

I was showing the shoes to a female intern who was working the games. As it turned out, she and I had the same size foot.

Holy cow, what an end to the last game. The D-League select team got a steal on the inbounds and hit a long 3 to win 74-73 after coming back from 20 down in the second quarter.
