OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers are Almost done searching

[JojoTheWhale]

Random missive - Vince Carter had some weak moments early in the 2nd, but he's been a good color guy so far. Also, I enjoy when commentators start talking about non-game events, usually indicates a blow out, and the Sixers were winning, so that's a positive.

Carter’s been quite good. My expectations amounted to pain, but I was completely wrong. He’s got a future in this.

 

[BigToe]

He's new.

2nd rounder this year.

Didn't even know we used a 2nd rounder.

 

[Ruck Over]

This game turned into a nail biter. What the heck? Summer league is supposed to be easy viewing.

The Pelle guy has caught my eye. Same with Shayok.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Shake is a disaster with the ball.

 

[Jack Straw]

Well that was a complete mess

 

[BigToe]

Shakes making me look bad

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Regular season form. I’m ready for October.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Imagine having money on this game.

 

[Jack Straw]

Had it all the way.

 

[Schwarbomb]

I haven't watched SL since 2014. It's just worthless pick up basketball at the park.

 

[Ruck Over]

Hot damn, that was a stupid unfolding of events. The Sixers went from teasing a 20 pt lead and comfortably walking away at the end of the third, to a one point win. And that one point included a miss on a 3/4 court shot by MIL that hit square front rim. Geez.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Rachel Nichols is f***ing torturous..

 

[Lotusflower]

Just watching clips on twitter so I cant really give a thorough exam but Shake's gotta be better.
Zhaire off either foot is just nuts.
He tracks these lobs with his eyes and then explodes to the ball once he's got the trajectory lined up.

 

[Flyotes]

For everyone. Highlights.

Counterpoint: I got to watch this on national tv.

His dad shot a career 90 percent from the line underhanded

 

[FLYguy3911]

There’s no way Zion isn’t 3 bills.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It's an upset to me if MitchRob is worse than the second-best pro in this game. Super interested in seeing Zion in the frame of that guy standing in his way.

I really need to go to Summer League.

*Edit* Oh good, Knox has been murdered.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Knox really sucks imo.

 

[BigToe]

Knox really sucks imo.

What’s it about him that sucks? Never really seen him play.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

What’s it about him that sucks? Never really seen him play.

He's just a gangly mess who essentially can just shoot, but not even that well. I also have pretty big questions about his IQ.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Is RJ playing?

 

[wankstifier]

Counterpoint: I got to watch this on national tv.

Why can’t the players just suck it up and accept the easy points?

 

[Jack Straw]

There’s no way Zion isn’t 3 bills.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with him conditioning-wise. He certainly looks like he could drop 15-20 lbs and still be a physical beast.
