    nice. Though I think there’s a bit of grit and guile to Camara’s game—does Kuz have that?

    Main problem is that he's 23. He should be more polished than this.

    Why would you think people who play didn't earn it?

    Because we're purposely putting an inferior product on the floor to lose even more games and/or giving minutes to young players who haven't performed at a level worthy of minutes.

    I knew it was a bad idea to be doing online banking during the game

    That was true the last couple years. I don't think that's going to be true this year. We won't need to tank to be bad. And I think guys like Camara are going to have to bust their ass to standout with so many rookies and second year players. Most of the minutes are going to go to Scoot/Simons/Thybulle/Grant/Ayton/Brogdon (for now)/Sharpe/Williams and Jabari. If Camara plays his way onto the court, he will definitely have earned the minutes.

    I think Skylar Mays got the post game interview to nobody. Maybe some space Aliens will hear this blacked out broadcast in 180,000 light years?

    If Sharpe looks disinterested on Thursday, I'll be concerned. So far you guys are using summer league and an exhibition game against a team from New Zealand as evidence.

    I wonder if the HCP clued them in that people were watching their dress rehearsal? They were goofing around with fake interviews like they didn't know that people were tuning in. And then halfway through the game it just shut down.
