2008 SUMMER LEAGUE SCHEDULE
Monday, July 7, 2008
1st Game 3:00 Indiana Oklahoma City
2nd Game * Chicago Miami
3rd Game ** Orlando New Jersey

<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#0000ff">Prediction</span></span>
Marcin Gortat and Courtney Lee lead a valiant effort in vain as the Magic are
utterly destroyed by a talented Nets team. While the Big Three (Douglas-Roberts, Williams, Lopez) are
expected (by me

) to pace the team, Maurice Ager has a breakout game, while Julius Hodge lands a pleasant effort.
Ryan Anderson struggles from the floor, going 2 for 7 from the field.

<span style="color:#008000">Don't forget to bombard the Orlando Magic internet announcers:
George Galante and Dante Marchitelli
with stimulating questions, meaningless factoids, and
eloquent Nets Haikus.

...but expect them to spend the entire time talking about J.J Redick anyway

I say we take Gallanari with 10, and CDR at 21 and...
oh wait.


can't wait for the game. anyone know what format the video will be played on?

 

[pegs]

Your game thread sucks. I'm not fixing it, though.

Funny though, I was just making a game thread, and looking for fun pictures to put up in the game thread, and lost track of time. Silly pegs.

 

[GMJ]

Poor communication FTL

Here's Brian Laing (I'll say it, I always thought he was asian

)

Ironically, I also thought Yuta Tabuse was from Senegal or something like that

 

[pegs]

What does everyone think the starting line-ups are gonna be? I'm going with:


<div align="center">Kruger | Lee | Byars | Augustine | Gortat

Vs.

Carroll | Douglas-Roberts | Hodge |Williams | Lopez
</div>
Just a guess. The PG position for both teams is a toss-up, who knows who they're gonna be.

 

[GMJ]

I could see

Hodge | Ager | Douglas-Roberts | Williams | Lopez

 

[Real]

Brian Laing is the fucking man and should start over Hodge. /rant

that sounds about right to me. and my my, that sounds like a killer lineup for this league!

Big East! [/biased]

 

[Real]

Besides the members of the Nets, Brian Laing is probably the only person on that roster who's been in outside of Newark Airport, the stretch of the Turnpike betweeen 16W and 14, and East Rutherford.

Even if we cut him, we should keep him on as a consultant, show CDR, Brook Lopez, and Ryan Anderson around New Jersey.

 

[User01]

Hodge/CDR/Williams/Anderson/Lopez

 

[J.S]

Rooting for Yuta. YUTA-MAN!!!

 

[Claud]

Yeah I'll go with
Hodge/CDR/Anderson/Swat/Brook.

 

[GMJ]

I think you guys are underestimating Ager, or not taking into consideration that he's been playing in the league for a year already. I think that goes a little bit farther than any 'post-draft excitement' ya'll have for RA.

 

[kdub]

Ryan Anderson 2 for 7?! I think he leads the Nets to a blow out of 78 - 50 by scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.

 

[rimsh]

I say Yuta Tabuse blows up and averages 16 assists per game, and we sign him as a backup PG for Devin Harris.

 

[Cmoney707]

I really don't see how we lose this game

 

[netsking]

The only name from the Magic i knew was Lee. lols no way we lose

 

[TheKidHypno]

will these games be on nbatv?

 

[soul driver]

nope, only streaming on the net

 

[cLokwerk]

The only player on the Magic roster I've heard of is Kevin Kruger, former UNLV Rebel and son of our head coach, Lon Kruger.

Only Las Vegas Summer League games will be televised. It's time for the NBA to unify the summer league experience and bring all teams to Vegas. 21 teams are coming to Vegas this year, and we have two venues (the Cox Pavilion and Thomas&Mack Center) where games can be held simultaneously all day. Plus, they allow fans to attend. It was cool getting to see Yi, Durant, and Oden play last year. This year the only people that will see Rose and Beasley are members of the media. Bullshit.

Sorry, Real

 

[soul driver]

question: can anyone tune in now and tell me what format the game is being watched on? I have a mac, so I don't have windows media or real player, I can't seem to watch the game that's on now..

 

[ffz]

does mac have an virtual OS system? i'm betting that it does... Sorry i don't know a lot about mac, but if Linux has a virtual desktop program that can run windows then Mac should have too... Just obtain(pm if u really can't find one...remember thepiratebay) a windows 2000 install cd and run that in ur virtual machine program.

Something like VirtualBox (i use this for linux. Its really good!). I'm sure theres free or hacked versions out there.

If all else fails just repartition and install windows

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines

I just learned from google that mac has a program to run windows already. Its called Boot camp

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html

 

[soul driver]

thanks...I'm actually trying it in firefox now, and it's working nice and smooth. must just hate safari. I download the flipwmv thingie.

 

[Claud]

I want to watch the bulls vs Heat game... links?

 

[Infamous]

Its Oklahoma City Pacers game first.

Question you guys going to send in any haiku poems this year?

 

[Claud]

Yeah Im watching Pacers VS OKC .... and its kinda boring.... also ppl from OKC keep sending emails telling them that their name is "OKC Drillers" Lol

 

[ffz]

LOL who are these announcers? they're goofy as hell.

 

[fefe]

Anybody still having their pants on?
