The Las Vegas $ummer League Tournament starts today! It goes from today, July 12th to Sunday, July 17th!

There are a total of 24 teams in the tournament. The top 8 teams don't play today, because they get a first round bye. Meaning they are allowed to skip the first round and are ensured second-round playing time.

Those teams are the 1$t-seeded Raptors, the Cavs (2), the Mavericks (3), the Grizzlies (4), the Clippers (5), the Celtics (6), the Nets (7), and the 8th-seeded $purs.

The other 16 teams play today for the first wave of elimination:

Whoever loses, they are out of the tournament. But the 8 losing teams do get to play one more game afterwards.

They play against another losing team. I really don't know why they do, but they do, so... yeah.

At least, I think that's how it goes. If not, then the losers of the first round play a loser of the second round. Then they see who advances from there.

Again, I don' know. I forgot. But I just hope the Pelicans, Rockets or Nuggets, Wizards, T-wolves, $uns (I'm sorry Jazz), Kings, Bulls, and 76ers win their games today and tonight...

Speaking of tonight...:

The 25th annual E$PYs come on tonight!!

I actually didn't know they did until like 6 days ago, when I was scrolling through Frank Mason's Instagram.

He's nominated for Best Collegiate Male Athlete!

And Russell Westbrook is nominated for multiple things like Best Record-Breaking Performance, Best Male Athlete, Best NBA Player along with KD 😒, LeBron, James Harden, and Kawhi Leonard😌😌!!...

It's gonna be fun!!

Only problem is that it starts at 8:00 and ends at 11:00, meaning I'll have to miss the Jazz-$uns game. #WhyMe 😒😒.

But it's whatever. Karrington and I will just record the game!

The first game starts in like 30 minutes! Let's go Pelicans, but let's go Quinn and Nate individually! Let's get it!!
