    How’s Jalen Brunson doing @Rastapopoulos?

    I grudgingly admit that he can’t play PG in summer league...

    have you looked at his playoff stats? They were horrible.
    I understand to a certain degree, but does have some value as he had 8 rebounds as well as 5 assists to help those numbers.

    Take a look at his playoff stats last year. I don't think that's the kind of vet with playoff experience we need. The guy can't shoot

    On the flip side, his 2-8 shooting and 5 turnovers hurt I dunno. Wish we took Kuzma.

    We'd be signing him for defense. He's probably play 12 min a game which is what we need.

    I believe Luc Mbah A Moute was hurt during the playoffs. He has had problems with his right shoulder for 2 or 3 seasons.

    If he could stay healthy, he would help us.

    My gut tells me his shoulder problems are going to get worse, not better. But that is only my uneducated guess.

    That skycam was a bit much. My eyes were buggin’ out. I really did not enjoy it.

    It’s one thing to have it pivot back and fourth but when it circles around the court it was killing my depth perception rather than improving it.

    So what you are saying is we should just suit up Dame, CJ, and Nurk too? Might as well just dominate.

    Nah, we don't need them. I just watched the replay of the LAL v. CHI. Jeezus H. that was painful to watch. What a fucking shit show. So, little talent on both sides. The score looks like a high school game - a BAD high school game.

    The Lakers may be 2-0 in Vegas, but no way in hell are they getting the repeat.

    The Bulls are even worse. Their leading scorer had 12 points. Nobody else cracked double figures.

    They were interviewing Fred Hoiberg during the first half. It was the first time I've actually appreciated a talking head taking up half the screen and talking over the live action.

    I like the confidence, but if we are going to do this right I think we need to just go all-in.

    It gave me vertigo and nausea. And really pissed me the fuck off. Why is the summer league broadcast crew such fucking morons?

    You know, now that I think about it I am questioning your commitment to seeing this parade.
