Part of me hopes Boban turns into the next Kareem, tbh... just for the meltdown factor alone

Definitely happy to have Dudley, and I believe he holds value... But I honestly have no idea why this team has so many veterans. Chandler, Dudley, Barbosa, Tucker... All are well past their "get better" days, and only bring value to already solid rosters.

I'd much rather roll the ball out there and let Booker, Warren, Goodwin, Knight, Ulis, Chriss, Bender, Len develop.

They still have no idea what they have in Len and Goodwin... And Warren is almost as much a question mark, but mostly due to injury.

Couldn't agree more.

Oh! Me too!

Even if it was just situational, he was fun to watch. And tonight would have been one of those situations. I feel sorry for the league if he learns how to play the PnR.

I think he would have been solid off hte bench... but that is my opinion only. None of the bench bigs in this game would have put up over 20 and 10 against that Mavs team I cited above. I really think there are some times that some team could kill him, but he forces other teams to adjust to him too. I think I have a new perspective on Boban as a bench big. /tear...

Anyways, still excited for the season. When the Pistons visit us, Dedmon or Anthony or somebody is going to have a long night, and that is the night that maybe Bertans is going ot get open 3s and has to kill Boban outside the paint. The current game is sort of unfair to bigs like him who play in the paint and are that dominant. Frankly Boban almost always got fouled, they just didn't call that.

I need to fake meltdown more often. The likelihood of being responded to goes up exponentially.

I guess this is kind of how a troll thinks about things.

Be careful what you wish for. You don't want to meet that in the Finals.

I was hoping Boban would join the Knicks for the Daily News headline of Boban for Big Apples!

The greatest most entertaining human victory cigar of all time. It's not even close.

Nah, we're just like a bunch of birdwatchers. Everyone wants to spot the first yellow-belly short of the season.

[SAGirl]

You're pretty much married to LJC now - sort of like SAGirl and KA. I hope you turn out to be right about him.

I said it above, but I thought Arci struggled way too much with ball pressure. And when other teams think there's a weak ball handler, it's like blood in the water around sharks. It invites even more aggressive ball pressure. That alone will lose him a roster spot, if he can't step it up.

I was watching Anthony and thinking that we're going to have to nickname him "Hoffa", because it looked like he was wearing cement shoes. I never bought into the talk of Dedmon starting, but I do think he will be better than what we saw tonight. The bigs in general looked bad in the second half because the perimeter guys were traffic pylons.

There were actually a few plays where Murray didn't take a shot. Of course, he was on the bench for those plays, but why be picky? That's a joke, sort of. But he does like to put the ball up.

I am starting to get your sense of humor GSH, that was funny about Murray. lol

[gambit1990]

fyi, if you used holavpn to stream the game earlier... get rid of it.

a cheap vpn is a lot better.

[apalisoc_9]

also, would be nice if we can get a replay tbh.

Well even if it was disingenuous, I feel honored to have (even for a moment) been thought of as the first cliff jumper.

Bertans seems to have some really nice timing on his blocks

[gambit1990]

murray's wingspan tbh...

[timtonymanu]

I didn't catch the game but it sounds like all the new guys looked like . Can't really evaluate much yet though until the team is full.

[TheGreatYacht]

Jarnell Stokes available?

Bertans was decent, Graino is an NBA caliber defender, Dedmon the bed..

Really the only thats worth telling you.

Arci will get cut soon..Forbes or Pato will be next.
