OPEN THREAD: Vegas Game 1 - Warriors vs 76ers

UPDATE: Watch the game via the web

MVP baby!


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.

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

Can anybody say whats up with CJ? Is it just general sloppy play?

by 408 on Jul 11, 2008 2:18 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by gogoldenbears on Jul 11, 2008 1:54 PM PDT   0 recs

hendrix

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.

yea

hes injured with a bruised hip

by gorillas on Jul 11, 2008 2:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ugh

So we’re pretty much just watching Randolph, CJ, BW, and Marco, then. These other clowns look bad.

Isn’t that what happened to Wright last summer?

It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.

by imovermyhead on Jul 11, 2008 2:14 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Now that you mention it...

...yeah. Wright didn’t play much (if at all) last year in Vegas.

by birdmonster on Jul 11, 2008 2:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by shooter1525 on Jul 11, 2008 1:57 PM PDT   0 recs

Belinelli

sure disappears for long stretches. Wish he would try and get the ball more often.

One Love. One Dub.

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

by shooter1525 on Jul 11, 2008 2:00 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

by birdmonster on Jul 11, 2008 2:04 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

by shooter1525 on Jul 11, 2008 2:10 PM PDT   0 recs

Drat...

...with my monitor and this feed, my entire knowledge was “tall dude ended with ball.” Thanks

by birdmonster on Jul 11, 2008 2:13 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yikes

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 was nice.

Just a question:

“Have you been dunked on?” I know I have.

by birdmonster on Jul 11, 2008 2:21 PM PDT   0 recs

lol

like 17 times in the last 30 minutes.

by Hoopachoo on Jul 11, 2008 2:22 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Randolph's having a nice little game here

24 minutes:
-22 points (on 8-13, 6-6)
-5 boards
-2 steals

And the feed is totally &#$#$(*#Yed for me. I’m about ready to boycott Nike at this point.

by birdmonster on Jul 11, 2008 2:25 PM PDT   0 recs

The worst part

During stoppages and half time I got a great feed. As soon as the action starts forget about it.

by Hoopachoo on Jul 11, 2008 2:26 PM PDT   0 recs

I give up

I’m just going to wait and watch the archived version. This is killing me. Slow day at work, and I could be watching the Warriors on my computer and instead I get to watch a lame commercial 50 times.

Is it just me

or does the box score show that 76er’s J Smith has EIGHT personal fouls?

by IQofaWarrior on Jul 11, 2008 2:28 PM PDT   0 recs

Aren’t you allow up to 10?

by playboyace35 on Jul 11, 2008 2:29 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Just looked it up

and yes, you’re right. This is my first time looking at a summer league game.

by IQofaWarrior on Jul 11, 2008 2:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

lol guess you were right about 10

jason smith just fouled out haha

by lowchi on Jul 11, 2008 2:30 PM PDT   0 recs

Where are the

terrible broadcasters from last year. At least he would point out lpayers and plays. So anyways AR is looking solid, BW is okay and Belinelli…..so so.

Nice to hear Randolph’s doing well. Obviously summer league is essentially meaningless… still, the stat folks were so down on his game, I’m encouraged by any indication that he can play.

hmm

dj KAY-SLAY’s younger brother? haha

Here’s to Turiaf. We need your help.

by danielholl on Jul 11, 2008 2:40 PM PDT   0 recs

problem with summer league

is that people are trying to prove themselves which makes them force shots—especially the non roster guys. i saw marco open off a screen earlier but the guy just ignored him and threw up this ugly awkward floater…

no team play in summer league

by gogoldenbears on Jul 11, 2008 2:41 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

AR

has been playing some D down low. Nice swat, but a foul.
