    Summer League can't come soon enough, i can't wait to see our rookies and also other teams rookies

    I still remember the bummer last year when i couldn't wait to see Shaedon and then he ended up playing only a few minutes

    If we end up with something like the following, it might tend to breed some excitement about things to come.

    Scoot/Mays
    Sharpe/Rupert
    Rupert/Williams
    Murray/Walker
    Badji/Butler

    So young....but a lot of potential and a ton of fun to watch if they can quickly figure out how to play together.

    Didn't hold us back, though, did it?

    I'm gonna fly in Monday the 10th and fly home Friday. So I'll see the Tuesday and Thursday Blazers games. Never been to summer league before so super excited. Where the best place to buy tickets?

    Lol wife probably wouldn't be happy with me going there while she at home watching kids.

    I meant what's the best place to buy Blazers summer league tickets?

    I remember other year you bought a ticket good for multiple games all day, not sure if it's setup the same, best to buy online, in person, etc.

    Saying this for years
    Antoine Davis should be a fun addition to this team, and I kind of hope he's on our G-League team.

    Second leading NCAA scorer all-time to Pete Maravich and career 3-pointers made leader by 60. Only 6-1 but watch his highlights and he makes a lot of contested 3s. Shot better than 41% out there last year and 38% for his career, and shoots 90% at the foul line. Entertaining player in a summer league setting, and actually gives the Blazers kind of a look what it would be like for Scoot playing with Dame, because Davis (who also wears O) will shoot from almost anywhere once he's over midcourt.

    Looks like there were discounts if you bought all ten days. I only plan on going to the days the Blazers play and there was nothing reserved still available. Just got general admission to make sure I got something because the SA game is probably going to sell out if it has not already. You could buy one of the packages but they seemed too expensive for me. If you are wanting to interact with some NBA legends, it might be worth it to you.

    All tickets are general admission and good for all day long. In the past, Ive just purchased tickets at the ticket booth right before entering.

    You can buy them on-line here:
    https://www.unlvtickets.com/eventInfo/spe/823/2023-nba-summer-league

    Usually there is no need to purchase ahead of time (in case plans change), but this year might be different on the days Wemby plays

    I’m going to get real tired real quick of people calling him Wemby. Too close to Gumby! That shits corny as hell.

    Sounds like a fast food franchise spoken with a speech impediment.

    That's why I'm reluctant to go again this year. Last year i put it all together to get there and the player i went to see ended up with like 5 minutes.

    Will the committee prefer that we call him "Yama" (Hindu god of Death and Justice)?

    How about V Dub?

    I am not going to see just one player and getting three full days of basketball for less than $200. So many interesting prospects from this year's draft as well as deep bench guys I am looking forward to see. If I get to see VW, Scoot, Miller, or the Thompson twins, it is just bonus.
