NBA Summer League

Rice could get to the basket any time he wanted to Yesterday Barnes couldn't.

How would I know, Rice never attacked the basket. he was a catch and shoot, one dribble pull up guy.

He was awesome when he was with the Hornets. One of my all time favorite players.

No one from Golden State could get to the basket in that game. What game were you watching? That Golden State-Cleveland game was as ragedy as the little bit of the Bobcats-Cavs I saw. Clay Thompson is good at getting to the basket, and even he struggled doing it in that game because there was terrible spacing and bodies just flying around the whole freaking time. By the time he SQUEEZED his way by defenders, there was no way of converting because a body had flung itself into him.

THERE WERE NO LANES.

Chaos describes that Warriors game. Brick city describes the Bobcats-Cavs game.

That had to be the worst display of shooting since Angola against the Dream Team. Out right ugly.

Dunlap said in an interview at the end of the Summer League game that he will play Taylor and MKG together during the regular season.

Rick Bonnell: Dunlap said post-game that MKG (knee) wanted to play, but with this being summer league, he won't until "completely healthy." Twitter

Scott Howard-Cooper: Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap, on Kemba Walker's improving leadership: “He absorbs criticism very nicely. Mine in particular.” Twitter

#Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap compares rookie Jeff Taylor to Shane Battier, as far as a fine defender and a smart player. High praise.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell

Dunlap calls turnover ratio the most important stat in basketball. Through 2 games, #Bobcats have committed 22 turnovers and forced 47.

MKG (left knee)!went through practice fully today. Appears fine.

Mike Dunlap has quite a booming voice. I'm at a YMCA, waiting for practice to end. Can hear him 50 yards and a closed door away.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell

Two things happening here you can only hope continue: Kemba emerging as a leader and Mullens realizing he can be a defender.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell

Coach-point guard relationship essential to any basketball team. Dunlap says he loves how Kemba accepts criticism, "especially from me.""

Man, a line-up of Kemba, MKG, Taylor, Biz/Mully, Haywood/Mully would be fuging stout.

Might not score alot of points, but will definitely shut down most teams nightly.
