Ronald Dupree

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:43:00 -0500

There are going to be a lot of folks in Orem rooting for Ronald Dupree when he goes to training camp with the Jazz next week. By all accounts Dupree was a great guy who helped the Utah Flash to the D-League Finals last season. Most fans have an appreciation for just how tough life in the D-League can be, with players making $30,000 a season along with $30 a day in per diem on the road. Not only was Dupree, a five-year NBA veteran, willing ...

Day Eight Summer League Roundup

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:25:30 -0500

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz When Austin Daye was being sized up as a pro prospect, one of the first shortcomings mentioned by his naysayers was his lanky build. Watching him up close in Las Vegas, Daye seems wholly unintimidated by back-line defenders. He actually initiates contact off the dribble, and it rarely throws him off his drive. He's gotten to the line 16 times in the past two games. He also recorded a double-digit rebound total for the third consecutive game. DaJuan Summers has ...

Flash Pick up 2 Wins over 14ers

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:20:57 -0500

The Flash and 14ers replayed the final 24.2 seconds of the December 26th game that was protested after an error that involved the Celtics 2 rookies. In that December 26th game, the scorers gave a foul to Bill Walker that was actually called on JR Giddens. With 24.2 seconds left in the game, Bill Walker was called for a foul and fouled out of the game when he actually had just 5 fouls because of the earlier error. The league agreed with the Flash protest and so the final 24.2 seconds of the g...

Orlando Magic Summer League Announcers Responsible For Crazy Rumor

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:03:06 -0500

Our Summer League friends Dante and Galante have been hard at work this past week bringing you boring Basketball and ridiculous commentary. One of the things they joked about on Day One is even being taken seriously by those in the Basketball community.

The two were taking emails on what the new Oklahoma City franchise should be called when an emailer suggested the Oklahoma City Thundercats. The two joked about the 80s cartoon for awhile and then talked about old cartoons for about a half an hour. Well apparently the Seattle Post Intelligencer and those on the Yahoo message boards didn't get the joke....
Other than green trim on the sneakers of Westbrook and Ronald Dupree, and one person on the Oklahoma City bench wearing a pair of Seattle game trunks, the team bore no resemblance to the one that would have been here representing Seattle. Kevin Durant was there to cheer his quasi-teammates on, wearing a simple white T-shirt and the black shorts, not the Seattle gear that thousands of fans in the Pacific northwest bought over the past 12 months.

P.S. - Word on the online street is that the OKC team might adopt the name "Thundercats." Someone has already parked oklahomacitythundercats.com and okcthundercats.com....Are you kidding me people? It'd be one thing if they were joking about the name "The Oklahoma City Silverhawks" or the even "The OKC Speed Racers". But the Thundercats? Are people really that gullible??? I guess so.

Be sure to read through the Yahoo Answers page for a laugh. Here's my favorite....
I think its too high school/NBDL kinda name. I wish the creators spent more time on it than slam the weather and an animal's name together. Its like cmon. Honestly. Call it the Bears or something, but Thundercats? Can you imagine it? "And the Thundercats are the King of the World, they are your NBA Champions!" *shiver.Actually that sounds awesome. I take everything back.
