Good call. And same goes for Nick Nurse, our Vipers coach, as he is Finch's asst for the GBR national team.
Unless the Rockets pull off a trade before the summer league, I think the Rockets will go undefeated. Rockets will have DMo, Morris, 14th pick, 16th pick, Greg Smith, Diamon Simpson, and Courtney Fortson. Patterson may play to get back into shape. Parsons will probably be held out. The lesser Dragic may be there as well. Too many off these guys will make an NBA roster this year for them not to be the favorites in summer league.
Yes, you can buy tickets at the box office and it won't be sold out. In the past, one ticket was good for all the games that day. That should still be the case. It's open seating too so first come, first serve. They've never been sold out for any day that I know of. It's really an interesting dynamic at the summer league...a combination of groupies, kids, avid basketball fans, and scouts from all over are there watching the games.
Summer League Stream / Roster Im buying the Summer League viewing pass from NBA.com for $15 and thought I would share why (see link - https://account.nba.com/summerleaguebroadband) - These are the games for Houston Friday, July 13: Houston vs. Toronto, 5:00 p.m. CT Saturday, July 14: Houston vs. Washington, 9:00 p.m. CT Monday, July 16: Houston vs. Sacramento, 5:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, July 17: Houston vs. Portland, 7:00 p.m. CT Wednesday, July 18: Houston vs. Chicago, 5:00 p.m. CT From what I can find this is the tentative roster Scott Machado (http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=222484) Zoran Dragic Dionte Christmas Kyle Fogg Jerai Grant Eli Holman Terrence Jones Jeremy Lamb Royce White Marcus Morris Donatas Motiejunas. Patrick Patterson and Chandler Parsons also plan to be with the team, though it was not determined yet if they would play in the games July 13 through July 18. I bolded the exciting players - I think these 5 games with those guys is well worth $15 Couldn't find the summer league thread if there was one so I thought Id share - Lock if posted Thoughts?
Well, I think it's going to be depressing watching these games now. D-Mo, White, Jones, Lamb, Parsons, probably all gone. We don't know for sure, but it appears that Morey will be opening the vault and Letting Orlando take whatever they want. Oh well, I guess I can still cheer for Kyle Fogg, Jerai Grant, and Eli Holman. Oh, I almost forgot about Patterson, I doubt Orlando will want Patterson.
Oh yes, I heard that about D-Mo, but he can be traded on Aug 3. I wouldn't be surprised to see this Dwight thing drag on until August. I hope we keep him, and I hope he's good.
Wasn't the Artest-Donte Greene trade agreed to with about a month's wait for Donte's trade restriction to pass?
I was looking forward to summer league to see which rookies step up to stay on roster, but will they be stepping up to be on a different roster by end of the Las Vegas stint?
