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

[Gegenläufigen]

I've got a crisp Bennie that says Sloan will be active in camp, helping coach the offense.

I remember watching Deron in summer league. He did not look very good. Kept getting the ball taken away from him on the dribble by smaller faster guards. I hold little stock in SL games. Burke did have some nice passes at the end of the game and another nice fade away jumper (it did not go in, but was a decent move nonetheless).

I said crisp NOT impressively long and hard

A bennie is $100

Burke is very clearly a bust. I say we amnesty him.

Burke had a roughing shooting day, but that will come around. I don't judge any player at summer league. I didn't forget how poorly Kanter played last summer. Yes he was out of shape, but he proved it was nothing to judge by.

Reaching? He didn't give us much of anything in this game to "feel good" about. I understand it's only one game and I expect him to bounce back. But you folks act like I called him a bust.

I was saying if you want to nitpick this game about him then use the 1-12, lack of finishing around the rim, occasionally not being assertive enough, etc. To criticize him about his killer instinct on that play in a Summer league game is a reach.

Yeah, you are right. Deonte Christmas, who every GM thinks he can't play in the NBA, is a much better NBA player than Burke. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's a pretty simple concept: opposing player is down on the floor, we have the ball, push it. He didn't do that, summer league or no.

You're making this call after one meaningless, summer league game? Really?

Ah, forgive me for commenting while the game is in progress. I was critical of ONE PLAY because (to me) it showed a mental lapse that I don't like to see in our point guard. Again, forgive me.
