Summer League Open Thread: Pacers vs. Bulls
by Cornrows
on Jul 8, 2008 5:22 PM EDT
Well, some of the Pacers against a lot of young Bulls, but you get the idea. The game should start around 7:30PM and can be seen here. If that doesn't work go through the Orlando Summer League site. I will try to watch most of it, so if there are any other crazy people watching and listening to the inane banter, feel free to drop some comments on this post.

Game is on
No banter, in fact no announcers at all. No scoreboard shot yet either.
Someone just drew a charge on Noah. Nice play, someone.

Pacers down 11-9
I think. Like the way Calloway sets the tempo. He was just stuffed on a drive by Rose, again, I think. Well, he was definitely stuffed. Pretty sure it was Rose.

Nice
After a couple of dicey plays, Josh Davis has a nice follow dunk on a missed jumper by Calloway.

Rush and Hibbert
Are Rush and Hibbert gonna join the roster tommorow or are they not going to participate in the summer league???

They aren't expected to make any summer league games
The deals are announced tomorrow but there are other details they have to deal with. Not sure what, but I’ve just heard they aren’t expected to play.

Whoa
Tyrus Thomas just returned a Golu (sorry have to check the spelling) Golubovic jump hook for a larger size.

Rose clankin'
open mid-range jumpers. Those are sweet looking misses though.
Ahh, summer league…

Calloway back
and controlling the action again. Nice job getting to the hoop and the line.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 7:57 PM EDT 0 recs
When in doubt
call a charge. No foul limit and it keeps the game moving. Nice work refs.

Half - tied at 35
My boys are obsessed with the show Wipeout which is on right now. That first half was about as entertaining as this ridiculous show. Here’s to hoping the second half is a little more entertaining.

Hey, there's Larry Bird
and David Morway. Drats! I can’t read lips. LB goin’ with the sockless loafers and socks. Perfect.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 8:07 PM EDT 0 recs
and shorts
I meant, sockless loafers and shorts. Still, perfect. Halftime has officially surpassed the first half action, for entertainment value.

It would be nice
to see something from Shawne Williams and Stephen Graham. Shawne can’t seem to get out of third gear, but he also has no problem getting scoring opportunities. Just doesn’t appear to be in the mood to dominate. Maybe by design. Summer league, remember, it’s summer league.

Courtney Sims
is a short 6’11”. Nice and active, though.

Josh davis
knocks down the 3-ball, then draws a charge. Nice range.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 8:19 PM EDT 0 recs
Shawne
Nice strong rebound, take up court to free throw line, and dish to corner for an open 3-ball (splash). Nice play. Pacers up 44-42

Sweet steal and hustle
by Davis, kept the ball alive. Ended with Calloway layup. Action is picking up.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 8:28 PM EDT 0 recs
Pacers defense
much better. Adding a little more intensity and scrap to the effort. Ooo, nice finish on the break by Calloway. Earl is solid, flat out. Love to see him playing with more talent around him.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 8:37 PM EDT 0 recs
Another
sweet play by Earl after D’ing up Rose, causing a wild shot, eventually took the ball into the lane and kicked out for an open, corner 3-ball. Nice finish to the quarter.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 8:41 PM EDT 0 recs
Playing rotation
pretty tight. Giving Davis, Calloway, and Maric getting a lot of time. A little Andre Emmett, a little Golubovic.

Im looking for a lot more from Williams kind of let down

When do you think the announcement will come about the Pacers new guys tomorrow?
Brent Jonathan Beck

Ha ha
they’ll probably do it at 7AM to finally get it over with. No, I imagine it will be in the afternoon so some actual press can be on hand.

What jersey is Ford going to wear? 11!?! We havent got rid of Tinsley yet?
Thats our biggest dilemma of the week!!!!!!!
My vote….. actually undecided because I dont want to see someone wearing 11 already yet…. I kind of feel like Tinsley ruined it in a sense
Brent Jonathan Beck
by Brent Beck on Jul 8, 2008 8:52 PM EDT 0 recs
I think Ford will wear it
Tinsley’s jersey is on sale at the Fieldhouse for 90%. This way the team can take those and slap ‘Ford’ on ‘em and mark the price up again. Gotta pinch pennies until the fans return.

Tyrus Thomas = REAL INTO VINNY D's New coaching techniques/speeches

I think Bickerstaff
is also joining the staff. A couple of old head coaches to help the new head coach with no experience.

Nice break
Earl with the long pass to Stevie for the finish and 1.
by Cornrows on Jul 8, 2008 9:04 PM EDT 0 recs
Honestly...
I know most love Graham… but I dont… I would much rather us save the effort and ship him out of town… or at least tell him to make sure 75% of the shots he wants to take during these games…. need to go to Williams….. he is the dude we need to either increase the value of…. or get more experience because he could be a factor…

I'm Graham's biggest supporter
but I tend to agree with you, especially with Brandon Rush coming on board.

I don't know how Rush is going to get any
minutes unless we trade Graham or Marquis.

Haven't a clue
Can’t remember the last time I watched a game without running stats to refer to. Driving me nuts!

He could be since
he’s a local boy, good pub. That’s my problem, I’ve seen Josh play since he was a frosh in high school. I know his game too well.

Sidenote: Vinny D is playing lots of pocket pool, IE he will be a bad coach

Fights at your crib? Artest stopping by for dinner? Stephen Jackson opening a new night club? Tinsley re-signed for a 5 year extension?!!
Did the DEALS fall through and our lineup now includes Bayless and Jermaine O’Neal?
