[Erroneous Subterfuge]

impressed with Babbitt and Cunningham so far, on both ends.

 

[crowTrobot]

not sure why pendergraph isn't playing

This game started on time for the first time. I turned it on at about 3:10 or 3:12 and the score was 14-6. Johnson is no McMillan clone. Good, good scorer around the hoop. Babbitt brought it today, not just making a couple of shots with moves, but also a couple of nice assists right to the basket. I said about 3 games ago that he can pass. Is it my imagination, or do we play more defense than the opponents? Baron even has made a shot. Krabbenhoft set up a play to Cunningham under the basket. These are good players, especially so far today. Have I jinxed them with all this praise? Now they'll suck.

 

[Idog1976]

Mike Fratello sounds like he took a fistful of downers.

 

[LJ Ginger]

JP's left foot is sore so he is sitting this one out.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Babbitt drawing fouls.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Mills is flat out horrible. I hope that whoever the new GM is talks PA out of re-signing this guy

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Mills unforced turnovers.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Halftime. Not sure why the Bulls went away from Almond - he was hitting from all over the court.

 

[jlprk]

Mills won't make the team. I hope they announce it now and don't bring him to camp, so he has lots of time to look for another team.

 

[Darkwebs]

Babbit has much better handles and passing skills than Webster. He's better at getting to hoop and to the free throw line also. His supposed "great shooting" hasn't revealed itself thus far in summer league. I would say his shooting skill so far is on par with Webster. I hope Babbit can find his shot sometime between now and the start of the regular season.

i think he's been slightly overwhelmed with the whole nba thing, but seems to be gradually getting more comfortable. i've been pleasantly surprised how he actually likes to drive and get to the line or kick it out. already better at that particular aspect of offense than Outlaw or Webster.

This is the best broadcast so far! Because the obligatory long, long interview while I'm trying to watch the game only lasted half a quarter instead of a full quarter! The first half of the 3rd quarter. Tom Thibodeau. All he did was list his good players. Who cares. In the last few games it lasted the entire 3rd quarter.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Johnson's not a half bad pick and roll player.

 

[EGame]

The Great Babbitt has entered the building.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Good to see Babbit settle down a little bit and have a nice game finally.

 

[alex42083]

Looks like Luke was nervous as hell and overwhelmed those first few games, and is now finding his groove a bit and getting more comfortable. Great to see

 

[Wizard Mentor]

LB: 20 pts on 7 shots after 3 periods of play.

Edit: it's actually 22

 

[alex42083]

Just turned the game on and wow, that 3 was DEEP.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really like Johnson and Babbitt. I think those two might actually have a future with the team.

 

[EGame]

I really hope Mills does not make the team. Don't really like his game much.

 

[alex42083]

Luke showing off the repetoire with that behind the back pass.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Johnson's not a half bad pick and roll player.

What? Is he fat?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Patty looks pretty darn good in transition ... remind me again how many times the Blazers break in the regular season?

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Joel ready for Training Camp?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Is it too late to cut Pendergraph and sign Ebekwe?
