We came back from 32-16 to 33-25 during that stretch, but now down 39-25. I was starting to get some hope.

Joan is going to be a force in a couple of years.

I’m not sure if people are fouling because of the 10 foul rule or if these refs are just calling everything ultra tight, but a ton of these SL games have no flow.

Without TSJ, we have zero wings on this team that can dribble.

Last 2 games they've called everything a foul on both teams.

Have you all heard about the new NBA heave rule? If you take a last second shot from beyond a certain distance maybe midcourt it doesn't count as a miss if it doesn't go in.

10 point deficit at the half. We may need to win the 2nd half by over 20.

Apples and oranges.

TJ has nothing left to prove in meaningless games. The rest of the squad does.

If this game is meaningless than every SL game ever played is meaningless and it's more or less true.

Think of it more like a little kids dance or piano recital. It is a chance to show everyone what they can do. The games and the winning are meaningless. It is the individual performance that people remember and talk about. For example who won Summer league in 2022? How about 2021? Can you remember without looking it up?

It's summer league for refs too.

And I am being serious....it's refs with less experience and G League refs that they use in these games.

Really disappointing when he had such a good opportunity to get minutes and show off. Hopefully can turn it around in the second half.

Sacramento won by 8 points, so we need to win by at least 12 points or hope that Toronto, San Antonio or OKC loes in order to jump someone.

Miller time. It's all tied.

awooooo

Newton is causing chaos defensively.

Tie game now. 15 minutes left to play. Get the win and who knows. Win by 12 or more to be in the playoff.

Suns helping us with 9-21 from the line. Clark 3 and we lead by 3.

Joan needs to learn how to combine his athleticism and footwork to finish around the rim

Rob's understanding of how much time he needs to get to the rack is actually impressive. Twice now, I've thought he was taking too long dribbling, but he's gotten to his spot and gotten rid of the ball before the violation both times.

yes he does and he will. He's practically a child. When he grows up he's going to be something.

He's gonna be really nice value on the two-way. I could see him get minutes in non-garbage time at some point.

I was thinking about that too. Brilliant minds thinking alike. :lol:
