I watched a few hours of yesterday's Orlando Pro Summer League ball online, and well, minus the odd Westbrook drive or Beasley turnaround, it was pretty atrocious. It was like a glorified pick-up game ...

Ridiculous Upside

Kevin Durant To See Summer League Action? —
Blue Blitz
Oklahoma City's most famed player and reigning rookie of the year will play for the summer league team this year. He could debut as early as today against the Orlando Magic. If he does, he will be undoubtedly the most talented player on the court. The question is though: why? Apparently, the story is that Durant came down on his own free will to Orlando to cheer on the team and figured he ...

Bucks Diary
Note: This summer I am going to be evaluating the Summer League performances turned in by the prospects I analyzed in the runup to this year's NBA Draft.

Going into the draft, I hated everything about Russell Westbrook except for his ...

I got a chance to catch some of the Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls game online and let me tell you, it was pretty ugly to watch and I would imagine most of the games are going to be that way.
