    This is a total JOKE that ALL of these games aren't on NBATV. I mean isn't this stuff the kind of stuff that's tailor made for that channel? Instead of that "value" they throw us reruns of the draft?

    And then the double insult to not show things online for free (that I still would not watch anyway) but to charge $15 for it? Ridiculous! Are times that tough for the NBA that they need this?

    The NBA should be looking for ways to bring VALUE to their NBA TV channel and this would be a great fit, much like the combine on NFL Network.

    Very disappointed the games aren't on.

    I paid, but I can't get the stream to work. The HOU vs GS game should've started at 11:00p central time, but the flash player just keeps buffering.

    Did anybody else get it working?

    Nevermind, it just turns out that I'm an idiot who can't figure out time zones.

    I want a refund! This stream is such crap, it's almost not even watchable.

    I hate David Stern...

    Don't worry, I'm sure the NBA is putting your money to good use... like... hiring more people to develop 10 more alternate jerseys you can buy before they completely re-do the uniforms. :D

    Who even watches summer league in the first place? Yea let's watch a bunch of guys that will be cut, sent to the nbdl, or play overseas. I guess some of us need our basketball fix. Personally, I can wait until late October.

    When they are free online, watching a couple of games satisfies the craving for a while. When they aren't free, I agree with you completely.
