There's a game on....well, such as it is.

anytime you let the knicks pretty much have their way with you in not one, but two games, you know you suck.

Well, when healthy we are a questionable team.When we aren't healthy and we rest players, we are absolutely dreadful.

Why the hell are the sitting Rui and they play Beal. SMDH is he hurt.

Just tuned in. Why isn't Hachimura playing?

Before that little run at the end of the first brought, it was feeling like the latter portions of the 2018 season would be remembered as glory days. I do have some concerns that Beal isn't going to be able to handle playing for this' fart in a ziplock of' a lineup like the one on the floor.

As I write this, a bit more of a run, but it's hard to look at the depleted lineup and expect much consistency.

Wagner just had a pretty sick behind-the-back dribble to crossover into the lane and make a floater.

Rest. Load management in preseason.

Who would have thought that a Bertrans/Wagner frontcourt would be that effective? Bryant was awful in that first quarter but not worried about him offensively.

And just as I hammer TB, he hits a three.

Weird. I wonder if he is dinged up. You would think our rookie could handle 15-20 minutes every preseason game.

Man, Beal has sucked so far this preseason.

Were we wrong about Mo Wagner? All the kid does is score.

He played Summer League, then the World Games or whatever that was called and had some knee issues. I don't have huge issues with trying to rest him in a meaningless game but hopefully that's the only game he sits because he needs to learn.

McRae shooting lights out and dudes on bench showing excitement for preseason game. Great ball movement. Love it.

McRae is +30 in 10 minutes!

Maybe? His defense and rebounding are non-existent. He was garbage in SL but sure, if he can score like that, he can give you 10-15mpg behind Bryant as long as he doesn't crush you on D. Knicks frontcourt looks kind of what we expected. A bunch of 4/5 guys who can score some, don't defend other than maybe Gibson. Don't think they care right now.

Well they could of sat him on Wednesday against a Gleague team and played him tonight against an actual NBA team. 10 mins would not be no harm tonight.

Kind of excited about a second unit that could eventually feature Bertrans, Miles, McRae, Wagner and IT. Not a lot of D but they sure can shoot.

He just played against that same team and remember, that game against the Chinese team was a home game. Fans were paying for that. I kind believe I'm defending this organization but I'm fine with sitting Rui. What's the rush?

Man, this team is pretty likable. They play hard and launch a ton of 3's.

They're going to get beat a lot of nights due to lack of talent, but I don't think they're ever going to quit.
