Man...I know this is summer league, but we look brutal

Thad's jumper looks shaky.

Guard play.  Gordon's played well, but he's not a lead guard.  And we have nothing else on the perimeter.

These guards blow chunks as well.

Who the fuck is Elton Brown - and why is he lighting up our NBA-rotation frontcourt?

[Derek Bodner]

Speights offense has been nice.  His defensive rebounding has been a little lacking this game.  That's going to need some work, IMO.

I understand what the deal is here, but I expect Young, Smith and Speights to do something on the defensive end...or they should just sit down.

Speights looks like he has some good tools...he just needs time.

I have no problem with Thad as well...I want him to work on everything...but I don't see anything in the backcourt (even Gordon) that gives me a chubby.

It's a shame that Thad and Speight's time out in LV is being wasted by Junior Harrington.

Junior Harrington blows

Pat Carroll has an NBA jumper...it's a shame that he doesn't have an NBA handle.

[Derek Bodner]

Did we get the wrong Elton B. this offseason?

damn.

Its a bit unclear whether the game starts at 8 or 8:30.  there should be announcers and replays for this game.

I'll probably be posting more at the realgm thread, since game threads here have been sort of dead.

Nice catch and finish by Speights in traffic...

Nice catch and finish by Speights in traffic...

Speights has looked great- at least in short bursts- and the man is seriously big and quick.

[bebopdeluxe]

the ole' defense by Smith in the lane...

Other than Gordon, our guards suck ass
