    well, 3 teams are already 4-0, and 5 others are 3-0. So yeah, not much chance the Blazers will advance. They'll still play 2 more games though

    I think that might be too many games. 5 games for 28 teams is probably the best scenario.

    This years summer league had all 30 teams, that's why I went with the # I did.

    I know, I meant that 28 teams will play 5 games, and only 2 teams will play 6

    Gotcha.

    My only issue was having multiple teams going undefeated but not qualifying.

    I’m fine with the format. There’s already too much risk for the rookies and sophs to extend summer league much more than what it already is. The numbers back up that point differential is a good indicator of top level performance.

    I agree.

    Spurs and Hornets play today, so one of them will no longer be undefeated.

    Is that Raymond Felton’s kid playing for the Pacers? Looks like him.

    Looks like we have three female referees.

    Hornets looking like they want in on the final four. Spurs don’t seem to have an answer for Knueppel/Baugh.
    Bryant playing well with no help.

    I tried to think who to compare kon to and the only thing that came to me, so far, is a reverse Meyers Leonard, he is not an athletic specimen, yet somehow he is always in the right place to get the ball and when he does, his decision making is quick and correct. He is just a proper basketball player, not a basketball athlete

    Our last summer league game will be tomorrow at 6:30pm PT vs the Suns. It will be on KUNP, BlazerVision, and NBATV.

    Like the concept but think it needs to be around 5 games and then playoffs with 8 teams. Winner gets paid bonus so that motivates teams to play team basketball rather than “Me” basketball.

    Players are still playing for contracts. You can literally watch when a player gets frustrated and wants the ball so he can try to do something. All team concept goes out the window in an instant.
