First Celtics Game:
Is Saturday, at 5:30PM, EST. July, 9, 2022.


It's only summer league but the is is killing me with A 530 start time on a Saturday.. 330 on Thursday as well.. Unless there's a way to rewatch the entire game versus just highlights I'm gonna miss 2 games

I think that there will be replays.
Check ESPN & NBA-TV.

Disrespectful! We talking about replays??! :wink:

3:30 on a weekday? Where they do that at? Good thing I don't have anything to do or I'd be mad... I had to double-check my appointment tho. :lol:

Is that Thurl Bailey doing color for tonight's ESPN2 Summer games? If so, he's articulate and knowledgeable. He's head and shoulders above Kendrick Perkins.

He was also part of NC State's miracle run in 1983.

The Jazz Summer league team is switching everything. LOL I wonder where that came from.

With that physical profile, I'm surprised Danny Ainge didn't sign him to a max contract.

Lofton could end up making a lot of teams look silly for passing on him.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Thurl Bailey is part of the broadcast for Jazz games so him covering the Utah Summer League makes a lot of sense. One of the better basketball analysts.

I take Memphis is loaded and Lofton is undrafted. If they don't get him a two-way, he's probably our guy for the claiming.

Baby had a pretty good career. That should be compliment and yes he's outplayed dudes better than him.

Did Lofton really destroy Chet? If so, why is Chet like +50 after 2 games? Lofton did have a good game against his buddy and Chet looked gassed but he still made his team a lot better than the Griz SL team.

I saw the video he was getting scored on many times I believe Kenny lofton had 19 points in the 1st half alone.

I believe chet was only 3 for 11. Not making any judgments it's only summer league but just saying..

Chet will live in the perimeter. Real NBA big men will snap him in two. I'm rooting for him, though. Seems like a nice kid.

As for Trevion Williams, let's see how defends the high pick and roll.

Kevin Durant couldn't bench press 185lbs when he entered the league and he turned out fine. Not saying that Chet will ever be as good as KD but he is also big enough to shot over the top of everybody and mobile enough to guard on the perimeter so who cares how strong he is ?

Can't wait to have the exact same debate when Wembanyama enters the league next year.

I have to say he obviously had his warts but I can never forget when he got a concussion against Orlando. Doc was yelling at him to get back and he got up but couldn't walk. That was pretty tough to be able to even attempt to do that.

Toughest player I ever saw was Leon Powe. He tore his ACL and played for two more minutes until they took him out.
