Let's get ridda da bum. :lol:

Yesterday I posted that Minott would probably go 1 for 7 next game. That's just how it goes in Summer League. All to be expected.

I'm not worried about Moore. Even in this horrific game he was making good cuts and rotations, and overall the team seemed calmer when he was in. He'll be fine.

Minott is the same. He was always unrefined, one good or bad game doesn't change that.

Spagnolo...I mean, he was taken in the 50s. Whether he pans out or not, who really cares?

The rest of the roster kind of sucks. Harris is interesting but we had an identical guy in training camp last year (Isaiah someone?) who amounted to nothing so I'm not holding out hope.

One good game does not a good player make. Likewise one bad game does not a bad player make. Also the hallmark of youth is inconsistency. You know the drill.

Right? Ya summer league we just need to pump the breaks in judgement. I do like all three of these guys, but Mother Nature will take its course and weed out the weak.

Harris is way better pro prospect than Isaiah Miller, who was too short to play in the league despite his hops. Harris is a 6-foot-6 combo guard who has already put up solid numbers in the G League. I like him on a two-way. I still like Matt Lewis as well.

This team would look a lot different if they still had Kessler.

I made an observation. No more and no less. He didn't look as good as I would hope. I hope for a lot.

Do yourself a favor, avoid the video. I was curious about what happened, it was one of the few times I wish I hadn’t seen it.

Do yourself a favor. NEVER EVER watch Requiem for a Dream. You have been warned. Now I'm sure many will have to watch it.

Requiem for a Dream is an absolutely outstanding movie. Still the pinnacle of Aronofsky's career.

It's a freaking brilliant movie. What you posted in 100% true and I wish I could go back in time and never see it.

It would be a huge addition by subtraction to take the agony of watching that movie out of my life.

Shame you can't handle movies that are difficult. Any fiction that can bring that strong of a reaction out of me (good or bad) enriches me for having experienced it.

Your being happy you saw it doesn't make you better than me. It's a choice of what you want to be subjected to or not. I also wish I hadn't seen House of Sand and Fog. Maybe you saw that and felt enriched. Neither of those movies enriched me. They made me sad and ill.
Grave of the Fireflies is an intensely sad film, but I did feel somewhat enriched by watching that simply because of the antiwar message.

I'm looking the match. The level is very low both side. I want to judge the rooks when they will play with the first team...
