Starts in 16 mins, AKA 8 PM EST.

I missed the last game, because tbh, I completely forgot. Oh, preseason.... :D

Linsanity needs to bounce back with a stronger game to shut the critics up. Just attack attack attack.

At this point i have a fairly good grasp of what Asik, Martin, Parsons, patterson can(and cannot do).

I still dont know if Linsanity was a fluke or if the rookies can play ball yet.

This is what happen when team is projected to suk.

Lin is doing fine. Doing good job at finding teammates. Mike COnely made him look silly defensively a couple times however.

Still can't watch the preseason games due to the CSN standoff.

This better be resolved by the start of the season.

Is Royce White getting any PT?

I hope they never get the buzzer unstuck.

If this were the knick board, itll be like page 50 now.

Anyhoo, nice game. Lin and Asik will be special after a season together.

That was a fun way for Asik to foul out.

the kevin martin haters will resurface when the regular season starts. i dont hink anyone expects him to suck in his contract year. probably his last chance to get a big contract. got lamb waiting on the bench to use his freakish wingspan. best be gone by midseason, OR SO HELP ME GOD!!!

Looks like Lin played well. Scott M didn't get much playing time. Random question, would you drop Marcus Camby for Scott? I'm really intrigued by his passing ability. But worry he'll get no mins. Just wondering if Houston can shed some light. Thx

Am I the only one that think Royce White won't amount to anything noteworthy in the NBA? Reason why I say this is that from what I've seen he doesn't have much of a scoring game offensively. He's very talented yes, good vision/passing ability, good ball handling for a PF, rebounds the ball well...but he how is he going to score?

He reminds me a bit of Terrence Williams in that when you see him out there he looks like a great player, moves well, handles the rock effectively...but in the end just doesn't get the job done. Like Terrence, he doesn't really excel at the skills necessary for his position. Sure he has PG vision, but he plays PF. He handles the ball like a SF or SG, but he's a 4 not a 2. He has almost shooting ability at all, and lacks a solid post game. The only traits he has that actually suit his position are his rebounding/strength. That's it. All of his other positive qualities are more suited for other positions other than the 4 so I'm not really sure how he's going to be effective in this league.

So you'd go Scott? I really like his game. I don't need camby. I was thinking Scott M. I just wonder how many mins he could get. But. He's a player. A lot of Raps fans wanted him. Maybe 22 mins? I don't think you guys have a back up guaed.

Most of us can't watch the games due to comcast not letting other networks in on their contract. Plus we're projected to suck, no Yao Ming fans anymore..

Which is why this forum is deaddd.

Oh side note.. I still can't stand Kevin Martin.
