G had a solid game today, although the Bobcats barely won after leading by at least 16 points in the first half. Henderson finished with 20, and had some really nice looking shots fall. Gordon Hayward made his pro debut in that game with 8 points.

McBobs just got tossed out of his game against Orlando for getting in a scuffle with Daniel Orton. He had 10 points before he got heaved.

Zoubek and Thomas play tonight at 7. I don't pay any special fees for NBAtv, but I'm able to watch the games, so if you have it you should be able to watch.

Before his ejection, McBobs looked pretty impressive, knocking down threes, getting good rebounds. The only concern I have is that at times, he was just standing around the perimeter on offense, but I was still highly impressed.

Gerald Henderson definitely stood out in the Bobcats/Pacers game. His mid-range jump shot was falling and he was very active on defense. He also made some nice dishes. Impressed with him also.

It really wasn't anything, Daniel Orton started it and almost threw an elbow, Josh shoved some. Neither should've really gotten tossed out but I understand that they are trying to clean up the game.

Stephenson is looking pretty good at PG. I read an article that Bird is gonna try to play him at that position.

Orton was looking bad. I think he finished at 1-8 with 4 TOs.

I think that the games are also on nba.com...

Orton looked real bad, and getting ejected didn't help, but he doesn't have to worry about making the roster. He should worry about impressing though if he want's playing time.
The games are available to watch online, but you have to pay $15. (Still not a bad price if you want to watch your Dukies)

Does anyone know who makes the choice to play for players that are currently on the team? McRoberts is obviously playing, and probably helping himself by playing, and Henderson can't do anything but help himself, he said so in a recent interview. Hansbrough isn't playing, and although he will get his NBA minutes, he could probably use the experience. (Maybe his ear still hurts.) So, do the coaching staff ask the players to play, or do the players request to be on the roster?

I liked how the announcers discussed it, one asked the other if it warranted an ejection. His response..."no." It was obviously worthy of the two T's, but shouldn't have ended the game for the players.

They interviewed him after, he said he is there to work on all parts of his game, knowing that he will be playing heavy minutes. Said there are some really good offensive players there, so it's a good chance to work on his D, plus keep on his shot. He said he feels pretty fresh since he didn't play that much last year.

Thanks Bob. Gerald setup the chance for the game winner by getting to the line and sinking his two FT's with seconds to play. It was a fun game to watch, but I only caught the last 5 minutes. Zoubs is up later tonight.

In this Nets vs Pacers game, getting to see those 2 plus Favors, Lance Stephenson, and the James kid from Texas. Not sure about guys on the bench.

Zoubs played 20mins (up from 13 in the last game) and pulled down 8 boards, 4 offensive. Only scored 3 points, but that's not his job out there. He also only committed 1 foul, as opposed to 5 in the previous game (fouls are not very telling in this league tho since they can't foul out and the referring can be spotty)

McBob with a 3-18 night, 2-12 from 3. Someone tell this kid he's not a game shooter...he did have 6 boards, 6 dimes, and 2 blocks.

Jim O'Brien joined the commentators early in the game and one of the commentators asked O'Brien if McBob would be allowed to pull the trigger from 3 (He had already shot like 4 by that point in the game) in real games.

O'Brien said and I quote
"We demand that Josh shoot the 3. We want our 4-Man to play outside, shoot the 3, and open up the lane for our other big. Josh has the skill to do that and is very good with the ball in his hands. We intend to take advantage of Josh's abilities in that role"
Well, McBob followed directions to a T. I agree with the approach with the exception being a full blown green light on the 3. Josh has all the skills in the world to be a great Point Forward. He threw a lob last night that was sick. He has guard like skills both ball handling wise and passing wise. But great shooter he is not. At least not in last nights game.

But all he needs to do is show he can hit the 3 if left open to make the defender respect him to open up the other stuff. But last night was brutal. Wide open 3 after wide open 3, mostly missing. His stroke does look better and maybe it was an off night? He was horrible on free throws as well.

If basketball did not involve shooting, McBob might be an All Star. He does so many things well with the ball- but shooting is not one of them. His stroke may be a little better but it is definitely not comfortable and pure. He needs to put many more hours into it. Still he can help a team.

Thank you very much, I'm going to wake up still laughing.

On a serious side note, on your All Star team I would submit Duhon, who has made a career of doing "the little things". (And still trying to shoot)

07-07-2010, 10:20 PM
Thank you very much, I'm going to wake up still laughing.

The sad part is he is right. If McBob could simply find a way to put the round ball into the hoop he would be an all star. But unfortunately, that is one of the umm more important areas of the game???

You should have seen the little dribbling exhibition Josh put on last night during a break in the action. He was going behind his back then in between his legs from behind, and back around again walking forward. Over and over again all in one motion (With his right hand).

He made it look easy and most guards could not do it as easy as he was, if at all. He has incredible talent, but the dude just cannot shoot...it's maddening..

I'm crying in laughter. The announcers were just nicely talking up Zoubs after he had a pretty pass lob inside, and then fouled on a shot. While they are still discussing his chances of making the team (which they think are good) he airballed his first free throw. Poor Z, but that was funny as hell for timing. To his credit, he swished the second one.

Just to update everyone on some under-the-rader Duke players who are participating in the summer league:

Demarcus Nelson will be competing with the Bucks, and trying to crack a rotation that already has Dukie Corey Maggette.

Shavlik Randolph will be playing with Jon Scheyer for the enormous Heat team. Really, they have like 20 players showing up.

Elliot Williams will be playing for the Portland team.

Eric Boateng will be playing for the Knicks team.

None of these players have yet to play, and it looks like all of them will get some burn on Sunday!

The Nets' roster was huge too, but obviously they cut it down at some point, which was why we never saw Thomas play. That will be fun to watch Shav and Scheyer share the court, if they do. I never got to watch Randolph in any NBA games, but he must being something right to have the years that he has.

I believe he has a very good shot. Also, the Heat are probably going to sign 1 or 2 more guards through FA (Fisher/Jason Williams & maybe Raja Bell).

Jon has led 2 very good fast breaks (stole the ball on one and took the ball in for a layup and three-point play, the other he (impressively) laid it off to Shav who missed the dunk. He also had another steal and has played some impressive D. As for minutes, he came in halfway through the first and hasn't come out since (halftime now). Overall, he's been impressive thus far,

_TheFakeJWill_
07-11-2010, 11:13 PM
I don't feed into Scheyer having a somewhat off shooting night. Id love, and think he need to prove his self on defense mostly and that he can hang with the quickness of other guards. So far i def love his play so far just hope he starts knockin down some 3's soon :D

On the other hand Shav looks fluid out there... would have been very sweet if he would have dunked that assist from Scheyer though :cool:

Scheyer with a huge 3 and free throws at the end. I don't see how he doesn't get a serious look from the Heat. I'm optimistic on him making the team given what he can provide as a combo guard / role player off the bench. Showing that he can make shots is huge. By now it has to be well known how he can take care of the ball and always be in position on defense.

Scheyer had 11pts 5 rbs and 3ast. Not a great shooting night, but he hit the go-ahead three at end (before it was iced with FTs). Had 3 (4 but a missed dunk) really nice assists. A couple of steals. Just an overall solid game. Most of his outside shots are short...so that is something to work on.

Shav finished with 18 and 6, was the leading scorer. Showed some nice footwork and good moves....on occasion had trouble finishing but overall a very good touch and great mobility. Sucked at his FTs, but imma chalk it up nerves. This was the first Heat summer league game so a lot of rust and anxiety (a TON of team turnovers...20+ I think).

Boateng got some token minutes with NYC and ended with 2pts 1rb, Elliot Williams was a DNP for Portland.

No, that was Patrick Beverly, who had a fairly unimpressive day. As a Heat fan, I don't know why the Heat traded away the rights to Marcus Thornton for Beverly last year. Thornton had a very productive year in the NBA while Beverly played overseas and, from the looks of it, probably won't make the Heat team this year. smh

Both points are true. And that was one of the rare times McHale had anything to say about the game itself, the announcers were terrible. Scheyer went to line once all by himself, I'll never know if it was for a technical or something else because they were so busy talking about Phoenix and Turkoglu, they ignored the game in front of them for the rest of the half. They are obvious graduates of the Dickie V school of broadcasting, but at least Vitale usually waits until the game has a decent point spread before he ignores the action on the court. This game was always close and they barely paid attention to it.

Both points are true. And that was one of the rare times McHale had anything to say about the game itself, the announcers were terrible.

Most likely it was a defensive 3-second violation. The NBA still has an adaptation of the illegal defense rule, and if you're penalized the other team gets one free throw and the ball back.

I believe you are correct. I saw the baseline ref motion 3 seconds with his hand. Then Jon shot the FT.

Did anyone notice that DeMarcus Nelson had played for the Milwaukee Bucks this year? I didn't know they had signed him, but he did play and had some solid minutes. (Two games he led in that stat.)
It would be great to see him on an NBA court again.
