OPEN THREAD: Vegas Game 1 - Warriors vs 76ers

UPDATE: Watch the game via the web
Just a few days ago it was Warriors vs 76ers in the pursuit of Elton Brand. Now it's just a plain 'ol Summer League game in Sin City. This is time for Marco to shine again. He used the NBA regular season as his preparation for this year's summer league. I hear he feels he got robbed by Nate Robinson for MVP last year so he's looking to take that title.
As we all know, Summer League don't mean squat. But whatever, it's still fun to get excited about Marco scoring 37, Brandan Wright going double double style, Randolph showing off the goods, and CJ Watson dropping double digit dimes. Well as I'm writing this, holy crap, Anthony Randolph has 10 points and 3 boards in 17 minutes. I smell Rookie of the Year.
Leave your comments and thoughts in the thread.
Apparently, you can watch online but folks are having trouble. See the fan post, Who is trying to watch GSW Summer League online?

At the summer league live...
Randolph’s handles are impressive… But he does force up shots. Watson is playing super sloppy. None of the summer league add ons are not impressive at all… Offense was really stagnant when they none of the contracted players were in. Hendrix has not seen time yet

updates?
can’t seem to make it work online like many of the people in the other thread. the video keeps freezing every minute and needs to rebuffer
also i’m at work so i shouldn’t watch anyway…
anyone have updates. looks like randolph is playing well. belinelli isn’t lighting it up as much as last year but maybe hes deferring to other guys? strange that hendrix hasn’t played yet and it seems like our non-starters (all the non roster guys beside amundson) can do much of anything at least thus far.

injured? I know I am hoping for a craig smith / milsap type banger with this guy. decent stats in college, seems like him and turiaf are similar though.

Randolph at the half
5-9 shooting with 14 points 3 boards and 3 steals. Also 4-4 from the line. Not bad at all but he does have 4 fouls in the half, but from what I have seen he is fluent but does force shots. Belinelli hasn’t touch the ball much and CJ is looking good. I still think Belinelli will come alive for some reason but Randolph has sure taken over the game.
The internet viewing is a little slow but I want to know how gordon is doing. He his another one the Warriors are eye at the point. Lastly Nelson looks like the scouting report says, good d-fence but little handles.
One more thing can somebody het that guy slay out of there and put in hendrix.

Somehow Randolph scored again
I spoke to soon on the 14 points… Apparently 76ers turned it over with 14 seconds and Randolph must have hit something. 6-10 shooting, and they took away one of his steals too. Guess summer league isnt exactly the quality of play by play as the regular season… go figure

My 1st half summary
-Randolph: Forced a couple shots, sure, but he’s the best player out there on the Dubs thus far. He boned a lay-up near the end of the half there but followed, got his board, got fouled, and hit both. Also hit a nice little lay-up with half a second left. My point? He seems to have his head on straight, is playing hard, follows the ball, and has a really, really smooth J.
-Bellinelli: Got crossed up something awful but otherwise has been kinda quiet.
-Ponytail: Please cut it.
-Wright: I THINK it was Wright (hard to tell on grainy-vision feed/lack of knowlegeable announcing) who had a mean strip of a guy on his way up for a dunk, but otherwise, haven’t seen too much.
-Foul shooting: 10-10. Hope this trickles over into Varsity.

Not Wright
I know the grainyness is nasty.. but unfortunately it was not wright who stripped the ball. Actually come to think of it, Wright has been kind of quiet too. I think it is more becuase of our style of play where he hasnt seen as many touches.

20 turnovers in 22 minutes? Good thing we have a seasoned veteran PG on the varsity team to calm all these kids down. Oh wait…
On the bright side, you gotta like the combined 24 points (8-14, 8-8), 7 boards, 2 blocks and 2 steals from Slim One and Slim Two. I really look forward to seeing those four go-go gadget arms in action, for years to come…

That's also
why there are so many turnovers, since almost everything is forced.
And I may be a Belinelli defender, but I think that’s also why he’s taken so many (bad) shots, because he’s trying to prove himself and he knows that if he has the ball and passes it he won’t get it back.

not going to get excited
but from the stop and start motion, it does look like Randolph can play “some” defense, hard to tell since he was on Thad Young, who was the high scorer for Philly. If that’s the case, then I’m thinking he’ll get more minutes than last year’s summer league wonder, since that was the main reason why Bellinelli couldn’t get more burn.

Randolph has an advantage over B Wright in that he is a SF, which means his thin frame is a smaller issue. I don’t know much about his defense, because of the picture quality. If it wasn’t for the announcer saying his name after every point I would have thought he was Brandan Wright.
Still, better watch him now, because after this and a little preseason, he’s going to be shelved for a year.
Also, the guide on NBA.com lists Brandan Wright as 6-9. 6-9? Are you effing kidding me? He plays like a 6-11 guy with those arms (I know it should be hard to tell the difference between 2 inches but I’m doing it anyway.)

After 1 summer league game, Mully looks liek a genius!
Yeah..its 1 game fellas. I caight most of it on the live stream on nba.com and Randolph was ballin outta control. BUT, its only 1 game and it is a summer league “shoot em up, f*ck passing” game, so even though the numbers look extraordinary, let’s see if he can sustain this type of production throughout the summer and into preseason.
Hmm..I remember Ryan Dunleafy having a stellar summer league a few yrs back and then play like doodoo once the reg season started. I know, bad example. lol
