I'm pumped, I'm psyched and it's the Knicks (always very hateable). Best of all Sox 1st pitch is at 5:00!! No conflicted viewing :thumbsup:

Anyone know if there are any sites online that archive games so that if you can't watch it live, you can access it later to watch? DMs open if this is sensitive info.

Hope Timelord and Tatum play to their capabilities. If so the Celtics should win. Either way the postgame thread will be hottake central..

Well I was excited until some how can't will the same can't will that had 12 players Avg more ppg in the preseason. The most fouls in preseason and arguing a non foul like someone slapped his momma. I no longer have faith for a win. Go get randle can't will 5.8 ppg lol Ime already making mistakes. Starting should be earned he ain't earned crap. Ugh the 14 best player gets a starting nod pfft. Everyone on that team gotta be like wait I'm better than that pudge chatty guy. God I hate can't will

Hey guys just an FYI on those new Live Scores on the forums...

I think they're kinda cool but they can also be annoying if you're trying to avoid spoilers. If you want to turn them off you can do so by clicking your name on the top right, then click profile, then edit profile. And then scroll down to the bottom and there's an option to disable live scores. Cheers.

I am no fan of grant williams either but he is a great glue type guy. Need that out there with the jays.

Grant is unspectacular but can make the plays you like from a 5th starter. Especially with Al out.

I assume Al starts over grant if not sick.

What plays I'm legit asking. That Knicks team will focus on grant every single second it's like giving the other team a legit hole to expose. Someone said early I would tell grant to not worry about scoring and focus on shutting down randle lol dude can't score more than 8 point to save his life anyway, let alone shut down an all star lol grant is your last resort against other scrubs not playing against your starters. Oh well whatever can't wait to see the box score and horrible defense from grant. If we win it's going to have to be a 35 point game from tatum. Cause kemba will play his best game tonight and that coach loves focusing on the weak link.

I have a bad feeling Grant, who is starting, will pick up 2 fouls in the 1st quarter. I also don't mind Horford and RW lineups at times (when both healthy of course) But not having Tatum play the 4 (as much or ever??) makes me wonder about IME's scheming. Tatum as a 4 works much better to play fast and spread out the defense. Factor in our strength is more wing related than 4 man related is also taking away from one of our better players. Starting Grant at the 4 vs Tatum will leave all 3 of Nesmith Romeo and J Rich on the bench with PP and DS as well.

Which of Nesmith, Romeo or J Rich loses out?? all 3 are better players than Can't. I also hope IME doesn't go into a 11+man rotation. If he does than he is not much better/Smarter than Stevens was IMO.

well tonight the mystery starts to unravel.. I am still optimistically pumped.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
