FINAL SUMMER LEAGUE GAME VS. CLIPPERS 7/22/12 GAME-ON THREAD

Go Celtics!

Great....Just at game time, NBA-TV seems frozen. For the past hour, they've been showing some rookie crap. And now they fade to black. I hate that channel, especially because I'm paying for it. I hope someone else can see the game and maybe comment on it.

NBA .com is blacked out because Comcast has the game (thats the regular Celt hookup)

Sully with some beautiful old school post up

Fab with a baseline jumper

Sully going to line on post up

[cowens/oldschool]

Melo very active both ends, nice block and offensive rebound other end going to line.

[cowens/oldschool]

Halftime Morrison was on fire, hit one 3 with 2 C's in his face, Sully showing hes a bull and Melo has a natural flair for blocking shots.

starters not in, might be it for them

[cowens/oldschool]

Sully and Melo back in and Sully scores like clockwork with 2 methodical jumphooks. If you don't double him that shot looks automatic.

haven't seen Christmas or Smith do much

So Comcast was the culprit. I watched on streaming tv, but they all looked like ants to me. The Celtics' young guys looked generally disorganized, and no one took the reins to run the team. I don't think I've ever seen and heard so many 3-point thuds in my life—except, of course, when the Clippers took them.

I think the Summer League has reached the limit of its usefulness. On to the summer doldrums, training camp, and possibly a minor surprise by Danny. At least there were no injuries, and a fistful of Celtics youths looked quite promising. They all showed me enough to believe they'll look better when they play within Doc's system and with Rondo as a facilitator.

Missed this game too. I think it was moot anyway. Doc and Tyrone have figured out who's whom and this game was just playing out the string.

Here's the box:

By the stats:

Another underwhelming game for Joseph. He has not been playing as well in Vegas as he did in Orlando. How much of that was his hyperextended knee?

BREAKING NEWS AS OF 5 PM PACIFIC:

Dionte Christmas has signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Celtics. He WILL be at camp.

Yeah!!!
