Pop usually goes to the last couple RMR games.
Most of the RMR games will be replayed starting tomorrow on NBAtv.
The Spurs' second to last summer league game is underway. It started at 5:30PM CST. There's no live TV or radio broadcast for this game.
Hopefully Marcus Williams has some sort of breakout game.
Let's hope.

I just heard from someone who is at the game that Marcus Williams went 2-29 from the field and an offensive rebound, but that a couple of the layup attempts caught the side of the rim instead of the bottom, so it wasn't as bad as all that.
Spurs lose 98-86. Box score not out yet.
Salt Lake City (July 17, 2007) - The San Antonio Spurs shot 76.5 percent from the field in the first quarter of game two of the RMR on Tuesday evening and topped the Philadelphia 76ers, 32-25, after period one. The Spurs made 13-of-17 and went a perfect 3-of-3 from three point range. Thaddeus Young had ten points for the Sixers.
The Spurs maintained their lead through the first half, going into the locker room in front 52-42. San Antonio’s shooting percentage dropped, but not much (62.9 percent). C.J. Watson led the Spurs with 11 points and four assists, while Philadelphia’s Jason Smith led all players at the half with 13. The Spurs did finish the half with ten more fouls than the Sixers, and as a result, the Sixers shot 19 free throws, converting on 14.
The Sixers pulled to within three by the end of three, 68-65. Williams poured in seven points in the quarter and as a team, Philadelphia had four blocked shots. James White joined two of his teammates in double figures with 11 points and his team continued to win the battle in the paint, holding a 40-22 advantage.
Jumping out to a nine point lead, the Sixers were ahead 79-70 midway through the fourth quarter, their biggest lead of the game. A 9-3 run extended that lead even further and the Sixers would hang on to win 98-86.
Williams led the Sixers and all players with 24 points. He also had six assists. Louis Amundson added 17 points and nine rebounds for Philadelphia. James White had 20 points for San Antonio.
Here's the recap from NBA.com...
I'll bold the important notes. Unfortunately I can't get to the boxscore....probably because they're updating it.

That might be as close as we get to Marcus Williams having a good gameWilliams led the Sixers and all players with 24 points.
Dammit....I wanna see that boxscore.
The article mentions White, Watson and one other in double figures...but it doesn't say who.
I wonder what White's stat line looks like and if this will help him stick with this team...
@ James White getting all his 20 points.
That might be as close as we get to Marcus Williams having a good game
James White with 20?
Nice.
I know, I saw the "Williams" and started to get excited...That might be as close as we get to Marcus Williams having a good game
Then realized they were talking Louis Williams, combo guard for the Sixers. BTW, this kid has torn up both Vegas and now this summer league. He's got to be a player for their future...
Anyone thinking Marcus Williams on the third guy in double figures?
I'm gonna say Sommerville...
i'll guess it was pooh jeter
Well the other damn boxscore for the night comes up. Incidentally, Shelden Williams had another 20pt outing. Perhaps this kid is finally turning into the double-double machine the Hawks were counting on when they drafted him...
So it would really be nice to hear something about why Pooh is suddenly playing for us instead of Sacto.
And would someone tell the gotdamned front office that nobody wants to see box scores in friggin PDF format.
Box score is up now: http://www.nba.com/media/jazz/rmr07Game09.pdf
White played a pretty decent game except for his 6 TOs (ouch).
Williams forgot to show up in the box score.
Watson with 4 assists and 0 turnovers...uncanny
Melzer, DNP
Marcus Williams came off the bench. 20 minutes, six points, one assist, no rebounds and three turnovers.
If it's possible, I think he's hit a new low.
Derrick Byars did ok. But hes nearly James White old
Byars was one of Mr. Body's short list of 4-5 players the Spurs should have taken over Williams. Perhaps I was mistaken on him, but he did have a much better game tonight while Williams has nothing to offer the NBA.
You cant seriously be judging guys after 5 Summer League games. Its about confidence, finding a 'niche' within a team. Not everyone has been brought up to pound the air out of the ball then go one on five with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Hes only 20 playing against grown men - give him a chance
Welcome to Spurstalk :
On the one hand, a player like Butler was out of shape, had a bad at ude, has done nothing in nba this year and was so-so in summer league despite being in the league for three years and people called him a great prospect.
On the other hand, Williams is a young rookie (he is a sop re) who plays his first pro games and sucks badly and people called him a bust without giving him some time.
Go figure.

If Butler was just so-so then I seriously don't want to know what Williams is.Welcome to Spurstalk :

Don't kid yourself, Butler looked very good with considerable frequency.
