    Scrimmage today at 5 on NBATV. Dame should play much more in this one, maybe he will get a chance to impress.

    It's currently being aired on NBATV. They are doing shooting games/drills, dame seems to be enjoying them.

    I checked at about 6:02 right before posting and they had a shooting skills challenge for individuals, not a team scrimmage. I'll look again.

    I'm all for Denny, Sly or whoever to link team USA, French and Spanish games and practice footage to the boards here.

    Scrimmage was only like 10 minutes I guess, disappointing. All they seem to be doing now is showing interviews while we miss all the action going on during the games the players are playing in the background.

    My pet peeve for the last few years, especially in Summer League. Long interviews during games, because they think we tuned in because we're bored by watching games. Stupid and egotistical.

    One thing people need to notice is they don't care about the actual game. They only care about advertising and sucking people in with extra curricular stuff (Aka fluff). It's all about telling a story on the fly, and they adjust to what the people (think) want... they'll take the sport out of the equation and focus on other things.

    Let's not forget it's espn... Would be much better if it were NBATV covering the event.

    It's cute to think ESPN covers events.
