NBA Summer League Heats Up in Vegas


As it has been well documented, Boogiewoogie tied the knot this weekend in Chicago. So of course the entire fellowship took the journey from lovely Louisville to Chicago to witness this neutering  glorious occasion and the site may be the only thing suffering more right now than Mrs Boogiewoogie.

So for the week, it's likely to be me and a random blogger or two to give you your sports fix, but let's look at what we missed this weekend.

-- In an event that seems to take longer than the NBA Playoffs, the World Cup finally ended this weekend with a Spanish win over the Dutch. It was a barnburner 0-0 match that went into a shoot-out.

-- A reemerging Favre4Ever detailed Lebron's "Decision 2010" Friday. However, the news continues to roll with LBJ aftermath. This includes

-- Before Boogiewoogie left for baby-making, he wrote a piece on the puzzle of Daniel Orton. Orton displayed the same game he showed at Kentucky during his debut in the NBA Summer League - minimal PPG, Rebounds, and maximum fouls and attitude. But that was Orton, this weekend the other Draft Cats went to work. Demarcus Cousin battled Cole Aldrich and gave a bit UK back to Edgar Sosa, while tonight John Wall, who showed why he is THE face of Reebok with his 24 points and 8 assist in his debut, faces off against Eric Bledsoe.


-- At this point, I'd rather watch the Bobby Knight field balls during the celebrity softball challenge than the Home Run Derby seeing as the homerun leaders never participate, but David Ortiz took home the title of Home Run Derby winner in the MLB All-Star celebration.
