Yeah sure but I believe the game is not going to be televised tonight. That means we'll have to settle for an audio feed only...

I approve...

Sucks to do any cuts, but waive Eyenga and keep Harper, rest of that roster/rotation looks good.

[Bensational]

I don't care who starts between JJ and Aff, but i hope JJ gets 30mpg for once. The dude well and truly deserves the time, and I'm not convinced there is enough separating Afflalo from him to warrant otherwise.

The fact that JJ has become a playmaker as well means he should see a lot of time as our primary player with the 2nd unit.

[Blue_and_Whte]

Exactly, So we have an average/good sg... doesn't make him bad. Also he's better than jj by a notch or two. John salmons clone imo

I wouldn't say he is better than JJ. Redick is the better shooter. Redick has better Pure Point Rating. Afflalo was rated the worst wing defender in the league last year, so Redick is better there. JJ Even had a better defensive rebound rate, but I will give AA that edge just because. When looking at the total package, I will say JJ is slightly better but they are both definitively average.

Wow pretty close......

I think Harper is a great player but hasn't got used to the NBA yet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkGyGVQEUHQ

He shot's high 40's from 3 in college so I think he is a better shooter then what he has showed us over the past year. I say start him and give him good minutes the next few games, if he doesn't impress, waive him and maybe keep him on are radar for the remainder of the season.

Comparing Harkless to Ariza is a joke. Trevor Ariza is garbage.

whats he great at? its not rebounding, not passing, not defense, and not scoring..sure he can shoot the ball (well thats the rumor), but is that enough? i think hes better than what hes shown, but he plays scared, and you can see it

[trebone]

i still think for the secind unit you could run

jj
aaron
turk

as the wings, its crazy i was calling for jj to see minutes at the backup pg spot the last few years instead of doodie

[_DudeItsMagic_]

I am not trying to over react or anything but I feel D Jones has proven himself enough to make the team over someone like Q or McRib....interested to see how Henny handles the cuts

[_DudeItsMagic_]

...and I CANT BELIEVE that Glen Davis has become one of my favorite players ...he is a legit leader...it may not necessarily equate to wins but dude is stepping up...I hated him a few years ago

Not sure if any of you would be interested, but my friend and I put this together over the past week:

KANE Nelson looks like a monster

I hope we trade Q or McRob as soon as possible to sign DJones.

Did we already cut anyone or we will only cut after preseason?

[MoMM]

I just don't see it. No backup PG (Terry and Bradley are NOT PG) and the Darko, Melo, Collins combo is not pretty. I do like Sullinger but I don't know if anyone should count on him to be anything more than 2nd team all rookie. I like Jeff green but don't love him. He's been overrated for years. It's as if no one remembers how terrible he was in Boston when they made him play on the wing.

Rondo is one of the top 5 PG's in the NBA IMO so him playing a ton minutes is obvious. They can live with Lee and Bradley on the court at the same time I think.

Not saying they are amazing this year but the east is week now that we are worse and the bulls are roseless

We can debate Rondo's place on the NBA hierarchy all day. But even if you assume he plays 38 MPG, you have to have your fingers crossed that he doesn't roll an ankle or anything. A Rondo injury, at this point, is more catastrophic than a KG injury.

They will be strong. Weaker than in recent years. And they will probably go on one of their 2 month benders where they play .500 ball and Simmons wants everyone traded. They are definitely #3 in the East, but I don't think they win 50 games. I think they let the Rose injury fool them into keeping the core of a second tier team for 1 more year.

Although Leandro Barbosa isn't a PG anymore and have been playing as a SG even in Brazil's NT, i think he can play backup minutes as a PG for them.

[D12VCMagic]

I just got tickets to the season opener, I'm pumped.

[thelead]

Can't believe I missed the game yesterday... anyways, I'll say it again (along with many of you guys), Jones better not be cut. He has EARNED a spot with his play.
