I hope you’re wrong Buzz (kill.) lol
Kolek needs to step up. Team to follow. So much “talent”.
High hopes for Pac Man.

Hopefully we start the domination we all (mostly) expect.

I was down about the first game even though I didn't see most of it. It would be nice to see them play like a unit, with a particular style of play, an identity. The Raptors came out and did that the very next game, with pressure defense.

But thinking about it, SL results as a team aren't that important. What matters is, can Dadiet play in an NBA game with 3-4 starters on the court, and contribute by filling in for OG or Mikal. Can Kolek come in and run the offense for signicant minutes. Can Huk protect the rim when Mitch sits or is hurt? I hope the SL team plays better today but the real hope is for coach Brown to develop and work these guys into the rotation this season to provide depth. That can happen, I think, even if the SL team plays disappointing basketball.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

First game was concerned with Browns offense, let’s hope it looks better with more practice in.

How is this Browns offense, he just got the job. This Thibs left over offensive play book with his old coaches.

I wonder if they'll hit their 3s today. They hit a few in the 4th quarter against Detroit. Shot bricks before then (not counting Di's final seconds prayer).

I figure Mike Brown probably stopped by had at least viewed the practice and maybe had words Jordan Brink. I'm curious if they come out a little stronger today. I have no idea if Boston has a good summer league team or not.

The undue pressure that some posters put on these youngins is crazy.

Some youngins don't flourish here in NY because they weren't ready for the levels of expectations. As opposed to their previous environments they were young fan favorites with promise.

The pressure to be successful right off the rip is understandable in NY, but coincidently, we're unable to grow a stainable winning franchise.

To be honest and soley my opinion, Frank and Knox had talent, that was quickly smothered by an impatient NY fanbase. Their confidence shattered permanently, along with whatever promise. Btw, what impressed me most about RJ was his mental-toughness, cause man, did we challenge it. I'm happy for him, that he's loved in Tor.

I just want to remind some of you that these kids, were introduced to a new system last year and now have to learn new schemes all over.
Whereby both Detroit and Boston have systemic continuity.

We have our vets and starters in place, so we should not want a toddler to drive a ferrari. Patience.

They look like they don't understand their responsibilities or spacing in the half court, so far.

They look disorganized as f*ck out there.

7 turnovers and 4 points with 4 minutes to go in the 1st.
