I thought the game was 7pm? It's today, right?

Waiting for the end of previous game. Now in OT.

[Tatumfor2]

Brooklyn and Washington ruining our summer league??

[radcot]

Great look at crowd waiting to get in to see the Celtics. Let's hope for no double OT!

[Triple M]

Yeah it's tonight just delayed because of OT in the Wash/BK game

[radcot]

Oh, no double OT - sudden death -first score. Good.

[darrendaye]

Ugh, does someone need to post another complaint about this game going OT to break a jinx?!?!?!?!

[31to6]

Any homies have a link to tonight’s action please PM me. Thank you!

[radcot]

Sudden death. Pray for a quick score.

[radcot]

Thomas fumbles the ball, makes a desperation, off-balance 3 pointer. No justice in the NBA.

[darrendaye]

Looked like a double dribble there to me.

EDIT: Had to at least be considered a carry if the underhand corral of the lost dribble didn't constitute a gather.

Should fit right in with the Nets, except after the shot he needs to fall on the floor and act like he is a fish out of water

Well, thank goodness they didn't try to challenge the play.

40+ mins late. Partially due to a Double OT, in the last game.

Can we stop saying to take PP and AN out of the Summer League? So idiotic, they both need reps, especially Nesmith. Load management for SL? LOL

"but they may get hurt"

Some of yall need to stop posting.

This seems like a strong reaction. In at least Pritchard's case, I don't know that there's much more he can learn playing against guys that he's clearly better than. He can get reps in practice and continue to work on skills. Not saying it would be the worst thing if he continued playing. But Summer League is where you you go to work on particular skills or find out what you have in certain players. Madar can get more of a look to see what we have there. Bruno could use more reps. Romeo could certainly use more reps against opposing teams. I feel comfortable with what I know about PP and to a lesser extent Nesmith.

No way in hell Pritchard is clearly better than Jalen Suggs.

This is from the Magic summer league game the other day, with Cole Anthony driving and kicking it out to Suggs for a 3:

Our next 2 games will be a very good test for Pritchard. These next 2 games will push him, they will make him better, they will help his development and give us a better idea of what he can do.

We're going against the Magic with a back court of Suggs and Anthony. Both of them are just as good as Pritchard, probably better. Suggs is definitely better.

Game after that we face Philly, with a back court of Jaden Springer and Tyrese Maxey. Both of them are just as good as Pritchard, if not better.

Then we have the playoffs, where the competition will be better than it has been in these first 2 summer league games we have seen..in the playoffs Pritchard is likely to go against Jalen Green (might be the best scorer in summer league so will really test Pritchard's defense) and/or Davion Mitchell (probably the best perimeter defender in summer league)

That's fair. Suggs should be a good test. By in large, he's better than the overall talent pool though I think. Suggs is too but this is his rookie year so of course he plays. We kind of know where Pritchard's baseline is I think. Maybe that's a better way to have put it.

[Parliament10]

OK. I think that this game is Starting now.



Let's Rock!!!
