Summer League 2014

When do the summer leagues start... must be right soon

 

[CardsFan88]

Games have already happened. Don't see any Suns games on NBATV scheduled, but they already had some today. Checked out all the way through the scheduled 'Summer League finals'.

Napier was horrible. 8 turnovers and 3 for 15 shooting. Also his first possession was a turnover. He sure didn't help the Heat's case today to keep Lebron.

But of course it's only one game.

Hopefully the NBATV schedule is wrong, they clearly have time to show more games, with all the useless crap they have on, and the multiple repeats of the games they have scheduled. Get with the program NBATV, we don't need to see some of these games three times along with crap when so many other games aren't being shown. It seems literally like they are only showing a half dozen games or so and repeating them.

Started Saturday in the East. Noel had a pretty impressive debut. 6/11 from the field, 7/7 FT, 19 pts, 2 boards, 3 assists, 4 steals, and a blocked shot in 26 minutes. Suns first game is next Saturday against defending summer league champs, the Warriors.

I'm pretty sure they're showing them all. Three today and three more scheduled for tomorrow.

Cox's guide didn't have Suns listed in any of them. I went through basically a week of the guide (all up through the championship game) and hit the info button on each game, and none of them said Suns.

Hopefully it's a mistake, but I'm not counting on it. They barely showed any of our games last year.

Well I guess if we make the championship game they have to show us.

Current Summer League that started is Orlando's - the Suns are in different Summer League (Las Vegas) starting July 11th to 21st.

Yep, they'll show every game.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'll believe it when I see it. I have Direct TV and had to stream a number of summer league games last season. I get all the Suns games live on Fox Sports Arizona without subscribing to NBA LEAGUE PASS during the season. I'm betting they will be want me to pay for a few summer league games.

And their coverage of the PAC 12 Network is great (heavy dose of sarcasm).

Nice catch. Wasn't aware there was two leagues. Interesting.

I think you're mixing up your targets of ire. Direct TV is the party involved in the failed negotiations with the Pac 12 Network. I blame it more on the Pac 12 but regardless of where you choose to place the blame, Direct TV customers don't get the network games and that sucks. But the summer basketball games, they are presented by the NBA Channel. If we get every game, it's because NBA Channel is making them available and if we don't, again, it's on them.

I threw this in the conversation because it is an irritant to me about Direct TV service not carrying the PAC 12 Network while we are talking about television coverage. A number of other television services seem to be able to get it done.

I just remember them not covering all the Suns summer league games last season, thus I had to stream some games. If they cover all the Suns games in summer league this season, I will be a happy man.

They used to cover them all and then a few years ago they started trying to package and sell them. And yes, we stopped getting every game. I just can't see all that many people buying their product so I'm hoping they've abandoned that approach.

I tend to lose track of years so I could be wrong here but as I thought about this I seem to recall we actually did get all the Suns games last summer. The problem was that we didn't get them live. Does that ring a bell for anyone besides me?

I watched the Detroit/Houston game replayed earlier this morning and I have to say. I would pay money to never have to hear Isiah Thomas laugh at something that isn't intended to be humor. He makes casual comments and then fake-laughs for thirty seconds. What is up with that?

Nice pass by Nick, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Cook has a nice stroke, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha.
The referee missed that call, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.
They need to foul here, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
He's part of the Indiana family, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And it's an annoying laugh. It's right up there with Urkel, Horshack, Screech and Gilbert Gottfried. Save my ears, Stop Isiah now.

I would love to have Mason Plumlee.

 

[Mainstreet]

I would love to have Mason Plumlee.

This would give the Suns a solid frontline. Now, how do we get him?

Then the Suns could sign the rest of their free agents and call it a day.

Maybe a three way trade where we part with the Lakers pick and Tyler Ennis? Surely the Raptors have something the Nets would value? But I suspect we'd probably have an easier time getting the other Lopez than the other Plumlee.

Steve

I know, but I want him on the Suns roster too. It's destiny isn't it? Somehow some way you just know he will end up here eventually if his brother is still here.

He's like the people who write "lol" on messages for which they are definitely not laughing out loud, like "i have to go eat dinner lol"

And yet I'm thankful he's there instead of Mark Jackson.

 

[Ronin]

Anyone know when the Suns first Summer league game is? or have they already started playing?

may cover every game of the Orlando Summer league. The Las Vegas Summer league has expanded, so unless they are going to add another station they can't give you all of the games live. I believe they eventually broadcast all of the games. Some of them are just tape delayed

I would definitely agree there. Actually, he's a fairly astute observer of the game and he'd be at the top of my list if it weren't for his obnoxious laugh and how often he sets it free.

Joe

Yeah, I think that was the problem last year. All or most of our games were relegated to the tape delayed bin. That's not a problem for me as I record all games and watch them when I choose but I seem to remember some discontent here about this last summer.

Jordan Adams looks good - advanced stats analysis prevailing.

Jarnell Stokes also.
