I have a feeling it's going to be a longggggggggggggg season for Wallace.

34 minutes played with 1 shot attempt? Christ, I thought that was Biyombos from last seasons for a split second. Poor guy.

Don't over look the 5 turn overs as well!!

Klay Thompson is on fire right now. 16 points after 1.

I think this was just one bad game. He'll bounce back to having a decent season.

MCW put on a fricken show last night. Him and the 76ers played with some pride in front of Iverson, it just seemed like they refused to lose. The effort and intensity on every play was clearly visible.

Meanwhile, I didn't get to see the Lolcats game, but from what I have seen it seems like the Bobcats gave up on rebounding early, often there were more Rockets near the rim than Bobcats players going for the defensive rebound.

I wouldn't say that they gave up on anything. They were just playing against Asik and Howard down low.

I watched some of ESPN's highlights from the first half alone, and while Asik and Howard did a good job of boxing out, Jefferson and Biyombo weren't in the right position to begin with. I'm sorry, but even though I'm sure you actually watched the game and know more, from the little I saw it was clear that either our players were being put in bad positions to secure offensive/defensive rebounds, or they weren't trying hard enough to get to them.

we are a terrible offensive rebounding team. we were never going to have success crashing the o-boards vs asik and howard.

i wont take too much from last nights game. we did a decent job in preseason rebounding. there are few teams in the league that will be able to successfully rebound against howard and asik.

well there's a little relief...

Jeff doesn't have any options so he is a FA when his rookie contract is over ( i think it is this season) so need to figure out whats gonna happen with him i say 2yr 2million

Jeff Taylor is making 788,872 this year and has another year of 915,243, which is unguaranteed. Which means he's a free agent in 2015, the same year as Kemba, Biz, and McBob, and potentially Henderson and Jefferson (both have player options) as well.

That means we could only have MKG, Zeller, and our 2014 and 2015 picks on the books that summer. Kemba would get a new deal, obviously, and Henderson, McBob, Sessions, Biz, and Jefferson would all be looking for new deals as well. That could get interesting.

Felton has currently taken the 2nd most amount of shots for the Knicks.

That can't be a good thing.

Gordon Hayward will end up losing money in the long run. Unless Hayward happens to have a season this year where he's averaging 20+ points with above a 20 PER en route to Most Improved Player of the Year, then there's no way any team will pay him the $13+ million annually that he wants. He's only going to be a restricted free agent next offseason, so the Jazz still have some control on what his market value will end up and I'm sure they won't let him walk easily because he's a fan favorite in Utah

For the right price, he would be fantastic as our starting SG.

Fantastic.

(and by right price, I mean current Hendo money)

Steph Curry probably could have made sure his brother made the team if he wanted to.
