Charlotte Bobcats 2013 Las Vegas Summer League Thread

Two more games til we find out who we are playing.

 

Based on all the tiebreakers, I'm pretty sure I have us narrowed down to 6th place (still). If that remains the case, we will play the winner of the 11th seed and 22nd seed game at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Ok I think I got it figured out...

 

- If the D-League Select team beats Dallas we will be the 6th seed in the tournament and play the winner of the 11th seed and 22nd seed game on Thursday at 6:00 P.M.

 

- If Dallas beats the D-League Select team we will be the 5th seed in the tournament and play the winner of the 12th seed and 21st seed game on Thursday at 6:30 P.M.

 

For the sake of not wanting to watch the game online, I think our best bet is to hope that the D-League Select team beats the Mavericks because based on the current setup, it looks like NBA TV is broadcasting the games that are the top of each our (for example: 4 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM, and 10 PM).

 

Note: If we get the 5th seed and you want to watch our game on a good stream, you will have to pay $5.00 for NBA Summer League Live.

Thanks for breaking it down for us. I hope we get to play on NBA TV.

Looks like McLemore finally showed up (26 points), but I am glad we drafted Zeller instead. 

 

Yeah, didn't see that until the end of the game.  I was still surprised, every minute I was watching he looked horrible. 

 

But, I expect that to kind of be who he is over an entire season - several games of horrible shooting, very few points, followed by an occasional 20+ point night, but nothing you can depend on.

Thanks for breaking it down for us. I hope we get to play on NBA TV. 

 

No problem, I was gonna try to figure out who we will play but that was going to take me at least an hour.

Dallas is up  26-15 on the D-League Select team at the end of the first.

Here's an article on Bobcats Summer League Prospect Henry Sims...

 

What I take most from this article is the fact that Coach Cliff is going to give some of the prospects from time on the floor now. I hope he still lets our roster players play their minutes because at the end of the day I want to win that damn championship lol.

The Bobcats, 2-1 this summer, have at least two additional games in Las Vegas, more if they advance in the tournament-style draw. Clifford said he has accomplished what he set out to do with the contract players, and will give the tryout guys more minutes in the remaining games.

 

“We haven’t had the chance to give him the minutes he really deserves,” Clifford said of Sims. “He’s very smart, he’s a good worker and he’s very skilled. I would think he has a great chance to be on an NBA roster.”

 

It looks like we're finally going to see guys like Jamie Skeen, Rodney McGruder, Nick Barbour, Soloman Jones, and Deron Washington.

No need to get starters hurt by dudes that will be going back to enterprise rent a car and UPS after this.

Zellar, mkg, JT, Biyombo play too hard.. Diving on the floor, going for blocks.. A sprained ankle awiats one of them in the summer.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Understandable, but I'm sure the guys want to win.

If coaches are gonna sit their regulars after three games, then they might as well only play three games.

Also MKG got hurt last year and it didn't hamper him from being ready for the NBA season.

And if they get hurt, at least they are getting hurt playing basketball and not doing something stupid.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Save it for live bullets! Lol

You want that t shirt!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Damn right I want that t-shirt, it's about f*cking time we won something.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Former Bobcat Kyle Weaver and the D-League Select squad beat Dallas, so unless I completely f*cked up the tiebreaker procedures; we will be the 6th seed and play the winner of the 11th seed and 22nd seed game at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday. To my knowledge, the game will be on NBATV.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Otto Porter looks most ready to play(lol)

They are trying him out at shooting guard?! His agility and athletic ability is limited at forward let alone at guard. Bad decision.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Ok, I think I figured it out...

 

The Bobcats will be the 5th seed because the head-to-head tie breaker only applies to teams you directly face not common opponents. The Bobcats were awarded the fifth seed over Toronto based on point differential and were higher seeded than the Cavaliers, Lakers, Bucks, Spurs, and Pelicans due to the point scoring system.

 

So here it is... (I think)

 

Thursday, 6:30 P.M.
