Every year I forget how bad it is. Bad camera work, players who can't play, boring uni.s and not even Dante and Gallanti (?) this year. Alexis Ajinca is tall, though.
 
I'm watching mainly to see if Gordon Hayward is going to suck as much as I suspect he will.
 
Holy shit I totally forgot that the Orlando Summer league starts now. Yea it is bad. Not to mention you are pretty much watching ratball.
 
Jesus. Talk about a Basketball Jones ... this is terrible basketball and I hate the Jazz and don't give a damn about the Bobcats, but here I am watching every minute. FML.
 
The game at 7 Eastern will have Even Turner and Derek Favors. They just said that Turner hasn't played since the tournament though, so he doesn't have his legs back under him yet.
 
My boy Jeremy Pargo is looking like he deserves a roster spot.
 
He looked pretty good this morning.

Yeah he wasn't bad in the second half ... willing passer, decent handle, doesn't force things. I don't see a star, but he'll fit in just fine with Sloan's system.
 
Hey, don't forget we are showing all 6 Vegas games starting next Sunday.......... FAMS!
 
No NBATV for Vegas summer league? Thats where I've always watched the summer games.
 
No, the other games will be on NBATV, maybe even ours. See what happens is each team can broadcast their games like the regular season, but that can be costly. The usual way is to have one broadcast come out of an event "CLEAN", meaning no announcers or graphics. That feed gets shot out to whatever team back in their home market pays for it. Then that team, the Blazers for example, will put their graphics and announcers over the feed then send it out to their local market. This is done all the time for major sporting events like the NBA Finals, or Olympics. This is called a world feed. I want to say that MSG is covering the Knicks game and that's it.
 
I clicked on that at 11:20 pm Pacific Time. Boston 70, OKC 59. They're repeating the games.

They just said that tomorrow, the 1st game starts at 10 am PT and the 4th (last) game starts at 4 pm PT.
 
you going to vegas? doin bottles this Saturday night. holla.

I wish brother! Actually I am working for the Yankees from Thursday-Sunday up in Seattle. For the Blazer games we will be doing the broadcasts out of the Rose Garden, I'm working the last 5. Maybe next time!!!

How is he your boy? he played for Hapoel Galil Eliyon this season, in Israel, was terriffic to start the season, got weaker when they brought another PG (Gal Meckel) but eventualy they meshed at the right time and both led the team to beating Maccabi in the championship game and winning the title.

(This message was written in response to Zagsfan about Jeremy Pargo, the quick-reply thing isn't that great...)

I'm going to Vegas next week. Question: do I need to get my tickets advance or can I get them at the door?

They are always tickets available at the box office down there. Save yourself the service charge IMHO.
