Stole the job? I'm pretty sure there was a vote.

It's a lot of work during the season. A lot of time. Another thing I do for this forum on my own time.

I'd be glad to let others make game threads. Any volunteers?

I volunteer Chris Craig to do it.

these games being called nba 2k26 summer league is weird.

Still 2 hours before the Blazers game, and seeing a lot of red and black representing!

 

[LayneStaley]

We are gonna be the most popular team in Asia if Yang hits.

No - in the world.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

I will admit I thought Batum was trash and Jerryd Bayless was better than Steve Blake after summer league

How many years did it take to change your mind?

No - in the world.

Did Yang want to come down from the stands again after being introduced for the starting lineup?

 

[blazerfan11]

I only want to see Yang, honestly. Even if Rupert puts points on the board, they are meaningless. When this roster was put together it should have been done with the understanding to work the ball through Yang. Let’s see him in the low post for scoring opportunities, high post for screening and initiating offense and rebounding at both ends. I do not want to see Love or Rupert jacking shots, just to be seen. They are not the show. I am also interested in seeing how well Yang moves defensively. Can he be affective in defending the PNR? One v one? We know his help defense from videos look good. Overall, he appears to be a good, coordinated big. Let’s see it. But Summer Leagud is for guards and chuckers.

I want to see a spin move in the post (by Yang).

and Yang running a fast break.

 

[blazerfan11]

Yang time would be 4am….I think?

11 am if you mean China.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Anyone have a link? All the ones I'm finding are a soccer game.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Oh shit. Yang just missed a pre-game warm up layup. BUST!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Seriously ESPN…. You’re bumping our game for a bullshit soccer match?

 

[inconceivable]

Oh shit. Yang just missed a pre-game warm up layup. BUST!!!

espn2 is still yapping about soccer, no spoilers please

 

[Natebishop3]

WTF ESPN. Garbage ass network.

 

[Quatro44]

The pregame is on espn+

 

[julius]

tip off is moved back to 8:15.

Don't they know some of us are old and cranky?!

 

[TYDame]

The entire China is watching

 

[inconceivable]

nice assist by Yang

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

Yang: 20 points 4 blocks 16 rebiunds 7 assists

 

[TYDame]

Holy damn what a pass

 

[julius]

That wasn't just a nice pass, it was a very advanced pass.
