Just Kidding, Guys
You’re not going to get rid of me that easily. In case you don’t know what irony or bad sarcasm is, I wasn’t actually quitting during that last post. I just need to clear that up.
Anyway, in case you haven’t noticed, there haven’t been any previews or recaps of the summer league games. The reason? It’s the simple fact that I am cable-less this summer and don’t feel like dropping the money to watch the games online. Honestly, this summer league is probably one of the least important we’ve had this decade. The only possible good that could come from this is finding a Steven Hill-esque fan favorite, because none of these guys (save Jerryd, of course) will make a major impact during the actual season.
So, we’ve lost the first two games of summer league. Big deal. Good teams lose in summer league, bad teams win. I wish they would have chosen the original name David Stern pitched: Bizarro NBA. The good teams are bad, the bad teams are good, the games are played in the summer, and not in an NBA city. Either way, it’s good to see the young guys get the minutes they will never get with the team.
Oh yeah, in a bit of indulgent self-plugging, check out my article about the Dave Chappelle appearance at Portland Monthly.
Dante Cunningham will make some noise during the regular season.
