    I'd say Meyers pulled the chair but really he was just not playing defense...

    TRob earned his spot in the rotation today. Best thing he did all summer was get hurt and expose how bad Meyers is, and as much as I love him, how limited Freeland is. We already knew that, but it's getting reinforced pretty well right now. Payne and Muscala and even this Tavares guy are all looking better than what we have in the front court.

    I think the guy in the Wallace jersey is heckling him.

    I tried so hard to cut him some slack the first year and last summer, and even the first part of last season. I'm just so pissed that he continues to do the same stupid shit he did his first summer league. Either he doesn't have the ability to learn this game, or our coaches aren't coaching him right.

    So that's our last summer league game, right?

    Will is just so streaky.

    I think CJ has shown that he's a pretty good player. Sometimes his outside shot isn't falling, but he can get into the lane.

    Will just has no conscience. He continues to jack bad shots. 3-17 and 0-6 from deep.

    Yes, the consolation game and then we're done.

    I think CJ's gonna get more playing time this next season than Will. He's just more under control and a better decision maker.

    They are both streaky. CJ just looks better because he has more polished moves and a better looking shot.

    Well, we won the second quarter, so that counts for something in Summer League, right?

    He was actually much better his first summer league. I can't think of a player this young that has regressed this much in his first two years.

    He just looks down on himself all the time. Of course, he should be, he stinks! But I don't think you make the NBA without irrational self-confidence. Please get rid of him before the season. PLEASE. Just offer a contract to the biggest guy on the D-League Select team.

    Will sucked ass. He's the reason we got blitzed, not Meyers.
