    Bronny had 3 blocks and 2 steals
    Knecht dropped a 20 piece
    the Heat team won, so fans in Miami can jump in the ocean, and pretend they can trade Herro for an All-NBA player.

    the wire camera in Utah is annoyingly glitchy. I wonder if they borrowed it from Blazers broadcasting?

    Knecht shot 7-18 and 2-8 from three. Not exactly lighting the nets on fire.

    That whole area has changed quite a bit. The bowl with the field was pretty cool! I played a number of football games there when I was in school. Didn't have turf then. Natural grass. Yeah it was early 80's. They really put some work into that as a complete sports complex.

    Exactly how much more must they develop that tank? They are even getting parts from China at this point.

    That brings back some memories. Out of my 4 years of Little League, the year my team was sponsored by Bocs was my favorite. Loved the post-game celebrations. Free burgers and shakes!

    Are head coaches even allowed to coach summer league? I assumed it's not just a standard convention that it's always an assistant coach.

    Why would coaches not be allowed to coach? That makes no sense.

    Yeah typically the head coach takes more of a hands off approach and lets assistants get experience, but with Reddick never coaching makes a lot of sense for him to get those reps. Head coach is normally always at summer league coaching, just not standing on the court directing guys. But in this case Nate McMillian and Scotty Brooks don't need the experience.

    It was a question, not a statement, and you apparently answered without knowing the answer. Talk about making no sense.

    Not a bad facility for an inner city 100 year old school.

    the good news is: the Blazers owner, GM & head coach are fully committed to winning the championship.

    the not so good news is: the same Blazer folks who hyped up Dante Cunningham, Noah Vonleh, Joel Freeland, and Nolan Smith, are emphatically excited for this new era of Blazers basketball.
