I will miss the Sunday game due to it being my Birthday. But maybe not maybe I will come home early. But anyway I really want to see Keandre Cook. It's gonna be a FUN summer leauge. Things are really looking up. Both from management as well as from the many great contributors on this board. Just optimism all around. Fun to be a HORNET fan.

Butter Ball is good, but we need more mobility down low - Yoga Ball should start instead.

Ha. Of course. And even though I love Crystal Ball’s ability to see three steps ahead of the game, he’s made of glass - too prone to injury to log starters minutes

We should have one of the best summer league teams, we have good balance between Riller, Bouk, Kai and Vern

I wonder if Kubolka is coming?

I hear Volley Ball is good at blocking shots, always two-handed. Pool Ball never misses either, wettest shot in the league.

Honestly, our Ball team should go undefeated and win the NBA title. That's before you even add Masquerade Ball into the mix, who has an uncanny ability to make steals as the opposing team always pass him the ball because they think he is one of them.
