Rocky Mountain Revue schedule but why on NBATV

[aznsensation]

I thought the RMV schedules starts July 13th but why am I seeing that NBA TV won't be showing the games until the 18th. Is this a typo on the Direct TV guide? Or is it just replaying the RMV games because of the Las Vegas SL games? Does anyone know if I can watch the RMV games live any other way?

Las Vegas Sl got the special treatment I guess. I think every other game has delayed viewing.

They got a special treatment because of Oden and Durant. Nobody wants to see Law and Horfy.

And Yi

Every Yi game has been televised with commentators

It's going to suck not being able to watch the game and Diesel/Walter drawing 1000 ridiculous conclusions from the stat line.

Horford could shoot 60% from the field and get a double double and they will complain that he had 4 fouls which means he can't play D

I guess I'll reserve some judgement until I see the games. Stats can sometimes not tell the whole story.

[aznsensation]

Oden and Durant's stats weren't impressive but if Law and Horford can put up some decent numbers it will make me feel better about things. Even though these are SL games who wouldn't worry if our guys perform badly.

Will we be able to view the delay on the internet though? Or do you have to have NBAtv for it?

They would do that even though their boy Yi had 5 fouls and 3 turnover in the First Half last night.

The commentators kept cracking on him saying: In China I guess that is not a foul and that is not traveling.

I think due to their lack of athleticsm they naturally use their body more (causing fouls in America), they also use 2 pivot steps alot. Both Wang and Yi were called for it repeatedly.

The entire Knick squad looked like Olympic atheletes compared to their competition last night. Yi has quite a transition ahead of him. No more chairs playing defense.

Just keping it real.

You got to have NBA TV.

[AnakinJoe]

The NBA is a sponsor of the Las Vegas league but not the RMR. So they gave NBATV the "hook-up" of showing games live. The RMR was tape-delayed last year too. If you want live coverage, you'll need to listen on the radio.

From Hawks.com: Didn't know two of them played overseas.

Competition Heats Up For Final Summer League Roster Spots

Posted by: Micah Hart on July 11, 2007 at 4:03PM EST

It is the middle of the NBA off-season, but the Hawks practice court is bustling with activity this week as the Summer League team works out in preparation for the Rocky Mountain Revue. The first round of cuts was made yesterday, leaving 17 names on the roster that will most likely be trimmed to 12 or 13 before the team departs for Salt Lake City tomorrow. Draft picks Al Horford and Acie Law IV are getting used to the NBA style of play, and to the slight variation of rules. "The shot clock definitely, and we have more plays here now." said Horford, "It's just a matter of time of getting used to it." Law agreed that his biggest challenge would be "getting used to the speed of the game, making that adjustment as a point guard."

Along with the draft picks and returning second-year players Shelden Williams and Solomon Jones, there are many recognizable names among those battling make the trip west...

Guards Jarrius Jackson (19.9 ppg in 2006-'07) from Texas Tech and Derek Raivio (18 ppg, 96% from the foul line) from Gonzaga top the list of undrafted players that wrapped up their college careers this past spring.

There are also a number of players coming off of successful seasons overseas this past year. Teddy Gipson, a former college teammate of Joe Johnson's at Arkansas, scored over 14 points per game in Germany, while Brion Rush (Grambling State, 2003-'06) scored 20.1 ppg in Italy.

The only player with NBA experience other than Shelden and Solo that is participating in camp this week is Devin Green, who played 27 games for the Lakers in 1006-'07 before splitting time in the D-League and overseas this past year.

The current roster also features the top two finishers from the State Farm Slam Dunk Contest that was held here in Atlanta as part of Final Four weekend this past season, and both have local ties. Mario West, the dunk champion from Douglasville, Ga., and Brent Petway, the runner-up from McDonough, Ga., were two of five players invited by the Harlem Globetrotters to try out for their team this fall. West played here in Atlanta for Georgia Tech last season, while Petway played for Michigan.

Rush scored those 20 points per game in the 2nd italian league, so it's not impressive, but to my knowledge he already signed a contract for a french euroleague team.

Gipson played for Paderborn, they finished 11th out of 18 and therefore did not make the playoffs. He was the 15th best scorer and finished 10th in assists per game.
