Day #2 of the Orlando NBA Summer League

Magic 85 - Celtics 82
--Bryan Mullins played about 4 minutes for the Celts, had an assist but didn't score.
Coby Karl is making his bid for a roster spot with 18 pts/5 reb, Ryan Anderson (ex-California fwd) had 33 for the Magic squad.


Jazz 83 - Net/Sixers 68
--Jazz's Eric Maynor 12 pts/5 rebs/4 asst & James augustine 6 pts/6 reb.
DePaul's Dar Tucker scoreless.
Nets/Sixers' Chris Douglas-Roberts had 27 pts, Blake Ahearn had 3 pts on 1-4.


Pacers 91 - Thunder 88
--Tyler Hansbrough didn't start but came off the bench for 25 minutes to absolutely punish the Thunder. Hansbrough had 23 pts, missed only 4 shots all night, 4 rebs, 3 asst, and even hit 2-2 from the NBA 3-pt range.
I just have a sneaky feeling that if we save all the comments made about Hansbrough, there'll be a few people eating their words shortly.
Shaun Livingston DNP for the Thunder, James Harden 19 pts.

a couple more games...

In Orlando - Shaun Livingston had one more good game before the Orlando Summer League ended.

[tornado]

Last night Bucks over Cavs in summer league play, 80-69
but Brandon Jennings had 23 pts/8 asst/5 steals.

Hasheem Thabeet off to a slow start, 9 pts, 2 rebs, 1 blk, 0 asst.

[SFP]

I just do not see Hasheem Thabeet as anything but a journey man who will come in and play as a backup. He just does not look like he has the drive to succeed at the NBA level. At best he'll be a Joe Smith type of player but with some height.

Patrick O'Bryant has another decent game tonight...
Started....played 29 minutes, 12 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asst, 2 blocked shots.
Helped the Raptors beat the Blazers 92-87


Blake Griffin's debut...29 minutes, 11-15, 27 pts, 12 rebs, and 1-1 from 3 pt range!

[Braves4Life]

Patrick O'Bryant has another decent game tonight...

....and the coach/Raptor personnel guy (not sure who) was saying during the broadcast that POB IS part of the Raptors plan and that they like what he offers.... that he just needs to get into better game shape where he can contribute 20+ mpg.

Patrick O'Bryant has another decent game tonight...
Started....played 29 minutes, 12 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asst, 2 blocked shots.
Helped the Raptors beat the Blazers 92-87....

Patrick is still very young...just turned 23...
He is basically the same age as Hasheem Thabeet and he's even younger than Tyler Hansbrough.
