My God Christon is so incredibly useless it's astonishing.

Terrible game all around.

Huestis should get minutes.

How has Huestis been with the organization this long and never gotten a chance to contribute?

i like carmelo / westbrook pnr and pnp. great use of melo's skillset at this point in his career.

that said we are taking the ball out of russ' hands too much. and russ himself was godawful today. that scrub austrian guard got in his head.

Going to be pretty disappointed when Singler somehow gets on the floor before Huestis again this year.

Casper Ware. A former summer league sensation. He had a cup of coffee with Philly.

I didn't watch, but how in the world did we manage to just eek out a one point win with all of our starters play normal starter minutes (for the most part)?

Anyone have the net rating of our starters handy through the first few preseason games? I don't know but it feels like we're sort of a disjointed bunch out there right now.

I didn't expect us to play well during offseason but thought we would try to move the ball way more :(

stats.nba.com doesn't track lineup data for the preseason.

Russ clearly managing his knee (and health). Hope he will be 100% all season, or at least when it matters.

Carmelo didn't play/worked out for so long that it's hard to tell if he will improve physically or not.

PG13 is already playing very seriously. He really wants to win that's for sure.

Some updates about Patterson? We need him so badly.
