The Only Reason to Watch the Summer League
The TV announcers are apparently out of their minds, and if your email is clever enough (like the one sent in by our boy J.E. Skeets), it might just make it on the air.

The second reason to watch summer league action — well, at least Magic games — will be posted on BDL in about 15 minutes.

Well, if the Nets announcers take email’s I’m sending one this afternoon for the Heat game. 3:00p, NBA.com again. Can I say I’m Eboy from SLAMOnline? Or is that an intellectual property issue with the mag?

Summer league is great. I remember the first time I saw Amare play in Summer league before his rookie year. If I remember right, Haslem tried to wrap him up football style to keep him from getting an easy dunk and he just carried his ass up to the rim. After that I figured he’d be alright in the L. Pure Power.

I was pretty bored yeaterday and started to watch the SL broadcast, which turned out to be a great idea.
The games were boring, but I let it run in the background just listening to those two guys, which was totally hilarious.
If you have the chance, tune in.

the guy who did the rockets games last year was hilarious, the good thing is all the games are online this year (i think), but the times are earlier.

all games are online and earlier this year. The commentators suck though. They complain about not having food etc….

I would only watch Bulls-Heat games and I think I missed the first one…summer league is a time for players to get better, no one should want to watch it because they are going to watch a team where 7/8 of the guys aren’t gonna make the roster.
