when are we, as a culture, going to move past shrinking the sports action screen to show an interview or some stupid info graphics?

Looking like we'll be #17 out of 24 and face the NBDL Select team in the 1st round tomorrow

Seems like the doc recommended 6 weeks with no weight on the foot...I wonder if maybe he shouldn't have been doing the dream shake in his cast for that CSN EXCLUSIVE
Continued success, thanks for comin' on the show!

I hope they sign one serviceable free agent because this is going to be dreadful to watch and patient people like me are going to be bored as hell.

The last Summer League game ended. If I have this figured out, we're in a coin flip with the D-League Select team for #15/#16, with the winner getting Denver and the loser getting the Lakers. If they count OT as a quarter, then we're #16/#17 and get the D-League team

I wonder how many of those guys were 7 foot basketball players.

If he has an 80% chance of completely healing from the foot and a 90% chance of completely healing from the back and a 99% chance of getting completely healthy from other nagging injuries, that's only like a 71% chance of him not having health problems. Then you figure that those odds are from a vacuum while in reality one injury probably makes it less likely that he manages to fully rehab from it.

Disclaimer: all numbers pulled out of my ass. I'm also just dicking around with the pessimism.

Why are there 2 summer leagues and why are there so many more teams in Vegas?

Originally it was an east/west thing, now it's just the way it is. Vegas has much more money behind it, Orlando is just in the Magic's practice facility.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.
