Going back to the win over the Magic, I want to say that the ESPN commentary by Beth Mowins and Renee Montgomery was the cherry on the sundae. After listening to the NBCBoston feed for the first two games (awful), these two really were delightful. It was a fun game, made more fun by their enthusiastic, humorous commentary.

PG -- 6'5" -- 21 yrs old.

Pretty athletic PG who likes to drive to the rim and is good at drawing fouls. Decent/good passer. Not a great shooter. I personally can't imagine him becoming an NBA player though.

#2 pick Jalen Green has been shut down for summer league but I caught a couple of his games this week and honestly he looked a lot like Nesmith out there. They both play hard and under control and specifically look very similar with the way they kind of lean into some of their long range shots and make tough shots in general.

Almost identical SL stats across the board too, with Nesmith leading slightly in most categories.

Most people on the GB seem to think Green has been the most impressive rookie in SL and the best player drafted this year. But he and Nesmith actually both have one year of experience playing professionally and if anything Aaron has looked even better. I expected Green to come in more ready than other rookies, and in a sense he's more a sophomore out there. And Nesmith compares very favorably I think.

Cool, I was just wondering about him. I know we parted ways mutually so he could find a bigger role and felt bad that no one had picked him up.

Too bad, this could have been a showcase for him.

Was hoping to see him play at least one full minutes game. Bad luck. Not the end of the world since he was probably heading back Overseas.

I am so pumped. My normal streaming service which was NOT available last week is good to go.. Though I like TV better because I love to do quick DVR rewinds on replays.

Dang it, an overtime game is going to delay our game again.

This Denver vs Dallas game... am I hearing correctly that one of the dudes is named Bones and another is named Garlic?

Why is there so much overtime in SL all of a sudden? I’m prepping for my SL champions party and this is really throwing me off

**** this ****. Why does the game before us always have to go into OT?

Hey Abby Chin is working for NBA TV now? i didn't realize that she's no longer working for the C's.

OT is over. 10 minutes until our game.

Yeah I'm happy for her and she's been doing great. I think it's just her new summer gig and she's still with NBC Boston. Or I hope at least.

They need to set aside about 30 mins more, per game.
