I'm looking forward to seeing Denver play, I might make them my favorite team in the west. They have a lot in common with the Bulls, should be fun to watch their growth. I'm intrigued by the Stoudamire-Hilario matchup. Also looking forward to watching Skita (Sp?) for the first time.

Oh yeah, glad to see you back over here Retro. This board is getting better every day. I think all of my favorite posters from the other board are posting here. This has become a great site.

I hope you guys don't mind me making comments in this thread about the Denver-Suns game. Did you guys see Stoudamire slam on Hilario? Ouch, welcome to the NBA Nene. This Anderson has been very impressive. Skita, Nene, and Stoudamire are all bigger than I thought they would be.

Man, Stoudamire is a beast. I also really like Casey Jacobsen. Don't be surprised if he makes the All-Rookie team this year.

Some people were saying Casey Jacobsen really had a good workout with the Bulls. He was one of the guys Krause coveted in the second round, supposedly. He reminds me of a young Dan Majerle (although early in his career Majerle was a good defensive player).

Denver's playing some fierce D for summer league. I can see why we had so many turnovers.

Amare's may contribute right away, his defense is solid already!..plus he's a rebounder, he's gonna be ok for his career..it's up to him not to mess his future up....

yeah, makes you wonder why he went to so many different high schools?

Interesting comments by the announcers about Curry and Chandler being "much improved". I wonder if they're talking about from last yrs summer league to this year or from the end of the regular season to this year. I would think they are saying they have improved greatly over last years summer league.

Where's the D?

Terrible defense so far. A 3 on 0 breakaway for the Grizz? Are you kidding me? Too many breakdowns in the paint too. Other than the blocked shot, Eddy has shown no energy on defense. He didn't even try to challenge 2 shots right over him.

 

[dkg1]

Well, I guess we disagree. I acknowledged his blocked shot, but he can challenge many more. He seems to lack explosiveness going up for rebounds too, i can see why his rebound average is so low.

Bags in for 30 seconds and has a travel and 2 fouls. yikes. Baxter looks good so far. The offense has no flow, easy to see why our guards have had so many turnovers.

 

[dkg1]

I guess the league wants the younger players to get used to things being called tight? It certainly takes the flow out of the game.

got to like the way chandler and curry run the floor. Jay can hit the three. Baxter very agressive on offense. Hes a keeper. A lot of fouls called on the bulls. Curry is much slimmer than last year.

I like the way Eddy is running to the offensive end. An example of him not carrying over the same effort is just what happened at the end of the half. Eddy turned his back on the ball on the break and House went right over him for an easy two. I guess defensive awareness is going to come with experience.

 

[dkg1]

OK, I've been very negative so far. I really like the defense by Mason and Hassell. Eddy and Tyson are running the floor, especially on offense. Lonnie Baxter continues to impress. JWill's Jumpshot seems to be coming on. I want to see more Crawford in the second half.

Is anyone else tired of ESPN cramming the NBDL and WNBA down our throats during this game? Geez, I know they like to market their products, but this is ridiculous.

Dali's flagrant foul was terrible. What was he thinking? The guy looks totally lost. Hell, his first 30 seconds into the game resulted in a travel and 2 fouls. Terrible.
