- Luka Doncic is apparently treating this like Game 8 of the Mavs-Clippers series.
- I feel sorry for people who are too busy complaining about Lonzo Ball hype to enjoy watching him play.

- To catch Curry, Beal needs to outscore him by: - 23 points if Curry scores between 0-5 - 22 points if Curry scores between 6-25 - 21 points if Curry scores between 26-47 - 20 points if Curry scores 48+Washington’s Bradley Beal (hamstring) will play vs. Charlotte today, sources tell ESPN. Washington needs win to clinch 8th. Beal (31.4) trails Steph Curry (31.8) points in scoring title race.

- Lonzo Ball had 36 points and 11 assists. Before tonight, no player in RealGM's summer league database (since 2004) had a 30-10 assist game.
- Lillard's 3 was listed at 37 feet.
- I'm not saying teams should start tanking now to draft Luka Doncic in 2018 but I'm not saying they shouldn't.
- If you're in the stands at a kids basketball game, you don't have to yell coaching advice.
- People seriously used to think Kyle Lowry couldn't do it in the playoffs
