I love following the NBA more now that there are some IU players. That is the #1 thing FCTC did while he was here. I think Vic is a legit superstar in the making in Indy, OG will be a solid starter, Eric Gordon would start on 95% of the league and Yogi is a very good backup PG. I think Zeller could be a decent role player on a solid team. Just Charlotte is a mess.

Zeller is actually a good player, he just can't stay healthy. His jumpshot never really came around but Cody turned into a good defender and a great screener. He's better than his stats suggest.

Sunday's results and it was a perfect 0-6 for our IU guys!  lol  

CWat finally got a few minutes with the Grizzlies.

Pacers need to give Alize Johnson a contract.

I think that's why they released Poythress

I think they may just go to the 2-3-2 format for all series to make it happen. Which I hate so much

Adam Silver said that a 1-16 playoff seeding has appeal but needs major review. Had this been does this past season...
1. Houston vs 16. Washington
2. Toronto vs 15. Milwaukee
3. Golden State vs 14. Miami
4. Boston vs 13. Minnesota
5. Philadelphia vs 12. San Antonio
6. Cleveland vs 11. New Orleans
7. Portland vs 10. Utah
8. Oklahoma City vs 9. Indiana

GSW vs. Cleveland in the second round? That wouldn't have played out well for the NBA.

The crazy thing... 4 of the Top 6 teams are from the East. West does their damage in the 7-13 spots where Indiana is the only team from the East. But 5 of the Top 9 was probably a first for the East.

A first? Since when? Last couple of years?

5 of Top 9 in 15-16. But I went back to 04-05 when the league became 30 teams and it had yet to happen where the East has 4 of the Top 6.

Ok. So 15-16 for 5 of the top 9.

Saturday night Summer League action -- OG, JBJ and CWat - none of them saw any court time.  The Raptors and Grizzlies have advanced and play again today in the "Elite 8".

Sunday Summer League action OG and CWat both DNP.

Love stuff like this. Oladipo did really well.

Not at all relevant to the NBA but it does involve a former IU player and NBA exec Glen Grunwald who today was named CEO of Canada Basketball.
