Update from Vegas
Dray Blatche is in, D-Mac is out because you can only have four NBA players dress per game.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Another reason
why Blatche should have stayed away.
Look Mr. James, I lived near the Chesapeake Bay for the first 21 years of my life, at times as close as a 5 minute walk. I know about crabs. And let me tell you something about crabs: they travel every time they get in the lane.
Blatche looks clueless
what the hell was that flipshot/pass??

Don't worry y'all ... Andray threw his headband off ... it's ON now.
Oh wait, he turned the ball over trying to spin and bring it up the court on the break right after that.
Never mind.

Manny is one of the best righthanded hitters of all time

Too many mistakes in the 1st Quarter
Especially Andray Blatche
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
He looks tired.
Should he be after 10 minutes? probably not.

ehh
first game in awhile for them – no time like the present to start getting in game condition.

Heytvelt with a nice block
and then a finish at the other end

Hey guys
Looks like Josh Heytvelt is doing pretty well. Hopefully ya’ll can find a spot for him. I think he could be an asset
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I’m following you on Twitter, Mike
And watching the game…. on NBA.Com
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......

Nice to see Blatche scoring inside.
Less jumpers and more banging inside is just what he needs to focus on if he’s going to be backing up Haywood.

So, Mike
You have internet access right there?
Are you court-side?

he definitely played better in the second quarter. he was horrible at the beginning

DID NICK YOUNG JUST COME OFF OF A SCREEN AND HIT AN OPEN SHOT!!?
OMG and all that. Looks like Sam Cassell’s getting through on at least one thing.
I sense the Nick Young's offense vs. DeShawn Stevenson's defense debate coming this season
“IF” Stevenson comes back fully healthy.

Nick is doing a bit of everything
I know he’s got at least 2 rebounds… he’s passed the ball well, when he didn’t have a good shot….
He’s been running off screens all night (looking like the second coming of Reggie Miller) –
and of course, has hit almost every shot he’s taken
The difference I see in his game this year – all the shots he’s taken in the game were within the offense…. he didn’t initiate any of them… He came off screens… he sat inthe corner for catch-and-shoot… he ran the floor….
At no time did I see him dribble penetrate for a shot…

I think he even got a block
He looks like, dare I say it, a legitimate NBA shooting guard.

NY 31 points through 3 Quarters
and we can’t find a place for him on this team?

NY looks good.
With more games like this, it becomes more and more important for Foye to transition to backup PG.
Haha, yeah Flip
Just said on air that if JaVale tries a behind-the-back during the season, he’ll be sitting on the bench. This guy really exudes confidence and knowledge.
Nick will be on Sports Center tonight
and then we will remember it’s summer league. Now he’s chucking and playing bad defense.
I know its summer league
but can we learn to close out the perimeter shooting sometime this decade?
Its always Roger Mason (Jr.) time!
Nice to see
they can’t inbound the ball with time running out either. That’s ok, let Caron take it out and just pass it in for Gilbert for the clear out.
To be fair
They kept running him off the same screen action, so he’d always end up with the ball away from the hoop. Part of it is how they used him.

really enjoyable to watch a basketball game with so few commercial interruptions

I know its just a summer league game but
