Wow, I can only wish

He didn't shoot well, but he got to the line at

will because of his unique combination of size and quickeness. And, of course, he hit the game winner.

But he'll have to better than 3-11 from the field in the real NBA.

Hey Sue,

I'm clicking on the first link you posted, but there is no info about the Bulls on it. Just Vegas stuff. Any ideas where i could find the Orlando stuff? :) thanks!

by Goostafer on Jul 9, 2007 10:22 AM CDT reply actions

The Orlando Magic do the web casting

So check out http://www.nba.com/magic/news/07summerleague.html later today. They had announcers last year who work for the Magic - they knew Skiles from his days in Orlando. They ripped on him constantly during the Bulls cames - very, very funny. I hope they're back, they were way more interesting than the games.

And last year we got to see Skiles in shorts and flipflops.

And excuse me for answering for Sue. :)

Thanks for the update Sue

is there any chance we'll actually be able to watch these games on webcast? Every time I try to watch it says "blacked out in your area."

I don't believe the Orlando games are on NBA TV

So I don't think that will be an issue.

Yeah

Sadly not on NBA TV...just online

by Option27 on Jul 9, 2007 12:05 PM CDT up reply actions

Like the others have said,

anything not on NBA TV can be watched online. So all of the Orlando summer league games can be watched on the Magic site. The NBA has to protect it's NBATV investment so any area that can get NBATV gets the games blacked out. Has anyone tried to watch archived games that were blacked out? I thought maybe the blackout would lift once they air on NBATV.

Tyrus can still jump. LOL.

He just had a big "block" on some unknown or other.

I can't tell a whole lot from watching this game. Maybe a pattern will emerge over the course of the week.

Noah's absence sort of takes the fun out of it. I'd like to see more of Gray.

As long as Ty keeps jumping, all is right in my world.

Hmmm

So this is like a pick up game for rookies and sophmores huh? They just have the added luxury of having officials. Its kind of cool, i wish i could participate.

Anyone else looking for thabo or tyrus to just simply take over the game??? I would like to see the '04 summer league, cuz i assume gordon and hinrich and deng were on it.....

And yea...i do like the announcers, they are kind of funny.

I'm OK if it's something they decide to be cautious and skip the rest of summer league, even though I was looking forward to watching him, just hoping it's nothing long term, or something he decides to try to play through and ends up aggravating.

Tyrus looked like the best player on the floor

by far. Which is good because he's the best player in the whole Orlando summer league. He was out of control at times, but worlds better than last year in that area.

Anyone have any news on TT's injury? His line looked great.
Did he wear #32? The picture on www.bulls.com shows in 32, but the box and roster say 24. This would be a great move for him... 32 suits him.

Rooting for

Who is everyone rooting for to make the team?

I hope Cage makes it. I would really like Marty to make it because i feel bad about all things that happened to him. I couldnt care much for Gray but he will probably make it since the bulls lack bigness and Curry will probably also make it. If Duhon is gone, I guess Barrett could get 5 minutes per game for like 10 games. I am rooting for Cage though.

The one thing I hate about sports in todays age is how we allow ourselves to judge athletes based off the field activity. Remember most of the "good guys" we root for are a product of media and team marketing campaigns. Everyone has varying degrees of problems in our lives. I never liked Mr. Pierce since he went to IOWA and I'm an illini fan but I will not allow his nor any other player's PERSONAL PROBLEMS to interfere in my entertainment experience i.e. KOBE, Tank, Bill Haas, etc. As I will not root for loul deng just because he gives a lot to charity. I root for him because he's a great player on my favorite team. Why do we hold atheletes to a higher standard then we hold ourself?

I hate to quibble,

but refusing to cheer for a convicted rapist has nothing to do with holding a player to a "higher standard."

I never said I would cheer

but if he were a bull (and could get us a title) we might have a different story. Guys like Shelden Williams get passed off as character guys when he was alleged to be doing the same thing before Duke. I just think everyone deserves a second chance. If he can't control hisself he WILL go to jail but this is a blog about basketball not a criminal court. All I'm saying.

he had a second chance

and went to jail after blowing it.

Really "buckling down" for

that last hour/hour and a half of the workday huh?

Just kidding (maybe). I assume you don't go home at 5.

That is the best SL picture I've ever seen

Those veins flow with the blood of a future CBA star.

Yeah...

I put about one hour of "work-only" time in per day. I do stay until 6 or 7, though.

Yes, of course.

Im here in orlando but I cant make it to any games. Sure I would have made a bigger effort if Noah was there.

How would you get in?

It's media-restricted and not open to the public.

Yes, of course.

from ESPN.com

With Thomas, already one of the NBA's most dynamic shot-blockers, the unexpected has almost become the expected now.

But it was a more mundane effort, Thomas actually knocking down a couple of 15-foot jump shots, that had defenders shaking their heads in Monday's Pepsi Pro Summer League from Orlando.

Thomas' improved shot from the outside hasn't come by accident. He said he's worked seven days a week so far this offseason, often staying in the gym until he makes 700 jump shots a day.

"I just want to use this week to get a lot better and put to use all the work that I've been putting in," said Thomas, the fourth overall pick of the 2006 NBA draft. "Everything that I've been working on, from my midrange game to my back-to-the-basket game, I'm trying to make them better this summer."
