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"

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
