Summer League is going to be the Rockets highlight of the year.

Hassan and Chase reunited?

BTW, where's Tracy McGrady on the roster?

Rod Benson! Sweet!

Time to pick up your BoomTho gear, fellas. (He'll never make the team, but he'll be fun to have around.)

Any of these games going to be on TV? I really want to see Marcus Cousin in action. I gotta keep supporting the coogs! I hope he gets some decent minutes.

Budinger came to Arizona after Adams left.
Marcus Cousin was on the UH team involved with the Budinger stepping scandal

Yeah you're right. I could've sworn that the two played together.

1-0, who said the upcoming season wouldn't be a bright one.

There's a decent recap, seems like Dorsey was impressive in that he played physically in the paint and managed to reduce his foul trouble. Nearly had a double double as well.

I see Magic Johnson had a double-double.

Post #12 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:34 am

Yeah, needed one more foul, and he could of had a triple double!

Jermaine Taylor didn't play?

Post #14 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:01 am

Yeah, he didn't play, he pulled a hamstring. He's possibly a "go" for tomorrow's game. He's the player I'm most interested in watching during this whole summer league.

Game against Dallas about to start, assuming the Warriors/Kings win in this OT.

Why won't my stream load...

It looks like it's working now.

In the 2nd game vs Dallas, Chase did well shooting 9-10 and end up with 25pts to lead the rockets to a victory. Chase can be Rip Hamilton type for the rockets and a good fit for Adelman's offense.

JT did good too showing he has some play making/passing skill. If JT can be more consistent, I see him as an upgrade over Von.

Dorsey continue to dominate the boards. As long as he did that part, he will be good.

J.White not doing very well. :-?

Edit: Oh forgot to mention M. Luenan. He can be a decent role player. Good basketball IQ. Can shoot too.
