Carney is tearing it up against the Warriors (on NBA TV).

Kinda sad to see a former Lakers player back in the SPL after years in the league...and fighting for a spot no less.

Another big game for Belinelli

Thadeus Young came up big in a loss, with a double double. The guy has great size and is a steal at 13.

Louis Williams put on a show as well.

Pierre Pierce on the Warriors was also really impressive.

4-19 FG
2-6 3pt FG
8-8 from the line (the one area he excelled)
1 rebound
0 assists
4 turnovers
18 points

what shockes me most is that he doesn´t contribute in ANYthing...

he doesn´t pass, he doesn´t rebound, he doesn´t defend...he basicly sucks so far. But SPL really is a weird game...you see guys like Rondo, Farmar, and so on...REAL NBA players play absolutely horrible and you see scrubs going on a scoring spree...SPL has its own rules...

I'm sure they're just talking about the haunting memories of the Lakers beating them all those times.

Marcus Williams (Nets PG, not the Spurs F/G) had a solid outing against the Heat today.

28 points
6 boards
5 assists

Quinn had 23 for the Heat and by the way, their team is absolutely terrible...much like their actual roster.

Damn... I didn't know the kid had it in him.

He'd dominate in Europe.

Tyrus Thomas with another impressive performance

Pretty good game between the Lakers and Philly yesterday, it was actually watchable. I enjoyed the long talk with George Karl too, it's nice getting a little inside glimpse on behind the scenes actions, particularly when he's discussing the Lakers. I have a gut feeling his son is going to end up signed with us and spending the year on the D-Fenders.

This made me laugh:

5. Von Wafer, Denver Nuggets – Wafer shot the ball very well in scoring 19 points in an 87-83 loss to Dallas. He showed excellent range on his jump shot in making three of four three-pointers, and he was effective putting the ball on the floor and getting to the free-throw line (where he went 8-for-11). The Nuggets need help at the point guard position and they need better three-point shooting. Wafer might at least solve the shooting problem.

Gosh it's so EMPTY!!!

It would've been FULL if it was here in Long Beach.

I like it when they show the people in the stands/crowd and there's hot chicks!

Tyrus with 12 boards and 5 blocks tonight. He's averaging 4.7 (rounded) BPG in the 3 games they've played. Bulls beat the Heat, again...the Heat are atrocious. Quinn has been their best player. Daequan Cook has done absolutely nothing but put up a horrible shooting percentage.

Kareem had 16 points (6-10 FG) in their W over the Nets.

In Orlando's loss, Redick had another impressive game with 24 points (9-14 FG). But Muoneke (who?) for the Cats put up 31 points.

JSM · by **JSM** on Wed Jul 11, 2007 9:39 pm

Thomas & Mack is ten times bigger than the pyramid in Long Beach, that's why it looks so "empty." The crowd today for the Lakers/Blazers game actually was the highest amount of all the games at T&M this year. Woulda filled Cox Pavillion for sure.
