July 7th, Summer League Game 1: Utah vs. Miami

[Nate505]

Summer league games are like pre-season games in the NFL, except much worse. I watch them at first fairly excited to only realize 10 minutes or in how much they suck. It's the equivalent of a weak dose of methadone.

Exactly, remember how badly Enes sucked last year?

I'm so bummed there is no game today.

Is it hard to get? I just "had it" and didn't intentionally order it.

Only if you have "Dish network". I had it and "NFL network" on both Comcast and Direct TV.

Burke had performances like this before:

https://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=330960130

Notice, like yesterday, both times his team won. He will come back from this. Given there are only a few summer League games, not sure if his overall FG % for the summer will be great, but I expect to see some good games before this tournament is over.

bro, you must have the highest post/rep ratio on this board.... how did you do it?? Can you give me some tips??

I would love to give tips but I don't totally know what you mean. This is sorta embarrassing, but I'm new here. Reps are the "Like" button people can press, right? And then do I get more green bar things? Thanks dude - Noob

He just looks small out there.... not that you can't be good if you are small but usually you have to have some other special ability to make up for the lack of size.
Cp3 has amazing quickness (especially stopping and starting)
Nate robinson has amazing leaping ability (and great quickness)
Jameer nelson is super strong.

Does burk possess something like that to help overcome that lack of size

It might be his craftiness

 

[Dr. Jones]

It might be his craftiness

So he quilts and and makes boats out of popsicle sticks?

Well... I'm sure he could do that too

Oladipo had a similar stat line today as Burke yesterday - https://www.nba.com/games/20130708/OKCORL/gameinfo.html?ls=slt

2-12, 5 assists, 8-10 from the line, 12 pts.

Guess all the newbies are struggling.

 

[Flc]

Yeah. Plus MCW looks and moves exactly like the meerkat in the Lion King.

 

[Gegenläufigen]

I can't belive how everyone is talking MCW and only talking about Burke "struggling". I have been watching MCW with a close eye today, and he is nowhere near Burke's level.

If you cut out Burke's shooting, he had one hell of a game, and did something only half the PG's did, which is win the game, and take the lead with 6 points toward championship game. Yeah Burks and Christmas were point factor, but I would give Burke the credit for control of game. If he had MCW's 23 attempts and 8 TO's, we would have lost the game.

we also played miami who has one of the worst teams

no 1st round talent

only one returning nba player
