    Plays like a 35 year old Eric Gordon. Seems that he can shoot it, but there's no way he gets a serious look (from us anyways).

    You can add Scotty Hopson to our summer league roster 6'5" shooting guard.

    I wonder if Calabro will call games, or if he'll be too busy with other stuff for the NBA?

    It's only a 3/4 time job for the announcer, since he bores us to death with the interminable quarter-long interview every single fucking game.

    The Summer League Producer dislikes basketball, so he assumes that the fans are bored, and that we tuned in to miss the action and hear some asinine general manager or coach dominate the show. It's been this way for years, and I complain every summer. NBA-TV does it, too.

    I recently sat through 5 innings of a Cardinals game where they did the same thing, only this time they were interviewing troops stationed overseas and 5/6 of the time the game wasn't on camera nor were they talking about it. It was a regular season game, keep that in mind. The fans on the message board I was reading were none too pleased. I praise this sentiment though because I also hated the experience. I actually really hated the experience. I was livid.

    It's really unbelievable the way they do that. If they insist on interviewing some guy I couldn't care less about for 12 minutes, go ahead I guess. But why in the name of all things holy do they think they have to show it on the screen, instead of the game? Mind blowingly infuriating.

    Hoepfully they let Montero handle the ball a fair bit. Its the one skill that we're missing from our wings minus CJ.

    I wish I knew how to communicate to the media to get this bullshit stopped. Some years it seems to be NBA TV. Other years have had Barrett & Rice, so the broadcasts must be local. I can't make hide nor hair on who the decision-maker is, to try to get his attention.

    Anticipating it just ruins the experience for me. I'll try to think of something positive.

    Good spreadsheet, Rasta. It seems that in the last month this board has had several threads started about Summer League.

    We will have above average team too. I think we will fair well this year in the summer league we will have 4 guys from regular roster and so confidence should be there but if not then Neil need look really hard but replacing them all together.
