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"

    • This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.
    • Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.
    • Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
