    Sadly, I think Caleb also patterned his defensive game after Z-Bo. "Z-fence".

    Worried about the rookie wall.

    He's a sponge, he'll learn. He has heart and hustle and if defense is how he earns those minutes he will earn those fucking minutes.

    He definitely looks tired. Laboring down the court in transition.

    Did RJ Hunter bet on the Lakers? Good grief!

    I hate it when Hunter takes a bad shot and misses. I hate it even more when he makes a shot. That only means he's gonna shoot more. Ugh.

    I'm not watching the game, but watching all of the people treating this like a real game thread is entertainment enough.

    He's got the physical traits to be a great defender and a great head on his shoulders. I think his defense will get better over time.

    It's a 4 on 2 and Nick Johnson jumps into both defenders and bricks a layup

    It's fitting that we are wearing black. 95% of the fans sound like they're cheering for the Los Anus Lickers.

    At least it's allowed us to see what we had in Layman. I just don't know how he gets time on this team without improving his shooting.

    Nick Johnson with the most wasted possession in the history of Summer League basketball!
