Might need an emergency @kturnup Kobe in Atlanta pulse check
I just flipped on the Hawks game for the first time to find out heās 1 for 9 and the announcers are just DESTROYING him. āHeās not even playing basketball, all heās doing is pre-determining that he will try to scoreā
Bufkin really struggling again
Gillespie getting a two way and zavier never getting one is something

I canāt say Iāve watched much of any of it, but Iām wildly impressed by the offseason energy available to (over)react to each minute of summer league.

Yup, I donāt react too much on the summer league. Itās not really representative of how theyāll play in the NBA regular season.
For example, a lot of people were harping on Trae Young when he shot under 30% in the summer league in his rookie year and he turned out just fine.

Unclear where to ask this, but re NBA Cup ā are Cup games also regular season games, just certain games that happen to also count toward the Cup?
Itās not a bad idea at all to increase the value of a few early season gamesā¦but I was kind of hoping to see the Cup games completely separated from regular season, so that you could see a team like the Mavericks (not a championship contender) consider the possibility of making a conscious choice to prioritize the Cup.
All but the semis and finals are regular season I believe

> How does the In-Season Tournament affect the regular season?
Every team will still play an 82-game regular season. All In-Season Tournament games will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship, which will sit outside the regular season.

I didnāt see anything about Kobe. I crashed last night at like 10 so Iāmma have to catch up on the word. but itās not shocking to me that Kobe is gonna need a year to marinate. He always kind of predetermined his reads on PNRs

It was weird. Honestly didnāt watch the entire game. But I did see that early second quarter stretch where the announcers were railing him pretty hard. Kobe missed a contested jumper, then on the next three consecutive possessions tried to drive into traffic and missed three wild contested lay-up attemptsā¦never once attempting to set-up the offense or get others involved. I couldnāt watch any more after that, so I am extremely glad to hear he settled down afterwards and had a pretty good game overall. I think heāll be fine in the long run. Could be some opportunity as after Tre and Murray, the Hawks currently donāt really have much in the backcourt.
