I was wondering if it was just me, but I guess not.

If anybody can find a better feed let us know. I'm off to search my backdoor sites and will post it if I find it.

This ish isn't even on NBA TV? Pathetic. We all gotta email the league. This is ridiculous.

The feed for the other summer league game is better. Weird.

Jamison in the house. I sure hope they checked Dat2U for weapons.

He looks good on the catch and shoot, and overall is playing a smart game. The only misses there are the ones he's tried to force.

Blatche has turned it over a few times on postups, which is annoying to see. McGee is also struggling with his free throws...but Young is working hard off of screens though, and I like seeing that. I also liked that postup where he faked the fadeaway, then took a step inside before taking the shot (resulted in a goaltend)

McGee hasn't improved his lateral quickness and strength one bit. Extremely sluggish and shows no positioning instincts at all. We are really really in trouble at the center spot. McGee is going to get torched on man to man defense for every minute he is on the floor. Things are really not looking good.
I am starting to see that mcgee has poor stamina. The dude never pushes and fights for position. He is constantly trying to take the easiest way possible for a rebound instead of shoving and pushing for position. His effort running back and getting into the right position on offense is pretty poor to. The guy does not sprint to position at all.

Eh, Haywood will play 33ish minutes a game and for the first part of the year Fab-O will probably get most of the back up minutes at the C spot. By mid-year McGee will be the primary back up and I like his chances as a change of pace center against other teams 2nd team centers. Few if any second team centers will torch McGee just because there simply aren't that many good back up centers.

Another thing I've noticed (though I've been watching since the 2nd quarter, so I missed a bit) but Young looks like he's staying in front of his man on defense, and is knowing when to contest and when to stay on the ground. I like that he's being used in a Rip Hamilton type of fashion, because I think that's probably his best bet of being effective.

N1 has looked just as good, if not better than Curry.

Love hearing Flip interviewed during the game. McGee tried a horrid behind the back pass that got stolen. Flip said, you won't see that next year, or if you do you'll be seeing McGee on sitting at the end of bench.

Also very good analysis of Blatche where he said he looks great when he's in the flow of the offense. But when he goes one on one, he starts forcing stuff and looks bad.
