I went to the Summer League games the last time the Celtics played in Las Vegas (BBD was on the Celtics team). I had a blast and the whole tournament was very well run...it just had class! I couldn't wait to go back....but, the venue was changed to Orlando. Although I live in Florida, I elected not to go. The tournament was run worse than a Junior High tournament. The announcers were crude, dismissive, had no idea what they were talking about and had absolutely no respect for either the game or the teams involved. In other words, I was glad that I had decided to save my money. It all surprised me, though, because everything else in Orlando is so well run and aimed at public relations. I will not be going this year either, or until they prove that they are capable of running a class event. I love basketball, and refuse to see it run into the ground by buffoons. The announcers may be ok on a general talk show, (I don't know, I have never heard them) but not where some mastery of the sport should be expected.
