Anyone else a total sucker for the NBA Summer League?

I have to hand it to the NBA. They time their summer league perfectly, particularly for guys like me who are all pumped up after the draft and are eager to have their $14.99 capitalized on.

The funny thing is...I am nearly always disappointed with the product that is the NBA Summer League: it tends to be a bunch of guys chucking up shots and taking away from the opportunities of the players we actually want to evaluate...

...but I still buy it...

Like Madden...every year...I buy an underwhelming product...I just cannot learn...

Yes.  I can't wait...   I love the SL.  I've watched it every year, and always will, as imo, this period between the NBA Finals and training camp is the WORST time of year in sports. 

If we don't call for coaches to be fired and players to be cut and seasons to be over in the SL game threads, we're doing it wrong.

Wife asked,"What did you spend $15.00 on from the appstore?"

I said Summer League.

"Is that another fantasy thing?"

"No, its like pre-preseason basketball for the rookies and hopefuls."

"Don't you complain that they make you buy football preseason games?"

"Yeah...(pause for pondering).  Touche"

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
