    Damn, if we win with Lonzo injured we are going to have to listen to MM talk about how it doesn't matter because Ball didn't play.

    On the plus side if we lose we will hear him talk about how it doesn't matter because it's summer league. Unless of course enough of us say it doesn't matter first, in which case we will get to hear about how this means these players are not ready for the league.

    Will we see A. Dame at the game B. Dame AND Nurk at the game C. Dame and other players at the game. D. Players other than Dame at the game. OR E. No Blazers players at the game to support the team?

    Tough call between A and C. I'll go with A

    Jud Buechler? Legendary Bulls player, we don't stand a chance against his coaching mind (or great 90s white guy hair)...

    They better put the game on another ESPN channel - this blue jay/Red Sox game is going to be another 30 minutes at least

    **edit it's on ESPNU

    Sly called it. I just saw where B*ll has already been named MVP. Pure marketing bullshit....

    The Lakers deserve a three part documentary series about this wonderful summer league.

    Ball did have the first triple double in summer league history (twice).

    Practically the first words out of their mouth.....Lonza Ball not playing. That was followed by salivating, genuflecting, adoration, anointment and general worship. Then you get the Summer League MVP being handed out to a guy that didn't play in 2 of their games. You wouldn't even know there is another team in the building.

    And Biggie should become only the 4th or 5th guy to average a double double. Anyone remember who the others were?
