By December JD is going to be out of new player cards. Then maybe we get to see some really interesting cards like Dell Curry, MJ, Clifford, Ewing, Uncle Steve, Stephanie Ready, Hugo, Eryn Gradwell, the Honeybees, Eric Collins, the ghost of Gana Diop. I can't wait.

Tough game. Rondo has been playing like the Rondo of old, and Cousins is ... Cousins.

any word on the starting lineup? I like Lin starting but I don't really like breaking him and Lamb apart. They play very good together, a lot of people forget they were teammates in Houston for a short period of time.

I'd rather start Cody and move everyone down (if he is available) than start Lin. I'm not a fan of starting Cody with Kemba/Al but I don't think we can survive Roberts and Hawes being in the game at the same time.

I hope Rudy Gay will play and scores 30 on 40 FGA and shows the world he is on Durant's level.

Ok on a serious note i have no problem Lin starting for us if the Kings start Rondo and Collison as their starting backcourt. That will be a good matchup.

2nd unit - Lin/Lamb/Hawes/Cody(or Kaminsky)/Williams are as good as many starting lineups in East. Hornets-Spurs and Hornets-76ers games have proved that playing Brain as PG would make big mess on offense.

To stop Cousins, PJ can hack a shoulder and Kemba can kick his shins.
But seriously, I'd be very disappointed if Psycho doesn't get any burn this game.

This is one of those teams we don't match up well against. Lots of size with Cousins, Cauley-Stein, Koufos & x-factor shooters who get hot, Belinelli, Casspi. Anyone know if Gay is playing?

Somehow, Rondo is even shooting well from 3, and Casspi has went from scrub to serviceable player. I still think we'll win unless players like Belinelli and Casspi go on a 3pt binge.

If he does get a half-dozen games where he plays 11-20 minutes, I think you will see significantly improved play from the second unit. The main problem is that Hansbrough has not really developed any chemistry with Jeremy Lin, only with Roberts. I saw a flash between Walker and Hansbrough, but when would they see the court together? Walker would feast off the screens Hansbrough sets if it happens. He plays well with Kaminsky, too.

As for Cousins, he outweighs Tyler by 20 lbs. and is two inches taller. Hans might be able to slow him down a little--or frustrate him--but it might be better to put him on Cauley-Stein or Koufos. Jefferson is the only other guy on the roster who outweighs Hansbrough.
