MKG guarding Bradley, Smart guarding MKG - nobody is allowed to score apparently.

How does Sessions repeatedly get to the rim vs quality NBA defenders? Its one of the greatest mysteries in the universe.

Now MKG being guarded by Rozier as Bradley and Smart guarding Batum and Sessions. One day MKG will punish teams for sticking their 3rd best perimeter defender on him... or not. We'll see.

I like these Boston announcers. They're chill and relatively unbiased.

MKG is so good, he'd be Lebron-lite if he can just hit shots.

Hibbert is ok but is clearly a backup. We need Zeller back.

Batum wants no part of dribbling the ball with Bradley on him.

Kemba/Batum/MKG/Williams is gonna be a tough 4some this year. Here's hoping they all stay healthy. We certainly need it.

He looks a bit more spry than I've seen him in a while. He must have cut some weight or something.

Hornets ran a play for MKG to come off a curl, catch-and-shoot a jumper. Never seen that before.

He'd be one of the better backup C's in the league, probably even top 5, and I think we could use him more on the 2nd unit.

Yeah I want no part of him starting.

Much better game from Ramon. Not a beat missed from Lin on the offensive side of the ball. Still concerns about defense from him though.

That's the thing i most worried about him. Hope he will be just slightly under average on defensive end this season.

Hibbert's +/- in 2 games is -20 in 38 minutes. His lack of movement makes half court offense such a struggle.

I'm not ready to go that far. Sessions might be able to match Lin in driving into the paint and getting to the FT line, but that's about where the comparisons stop. Lin does basically every other part of the game at a higher level - defense, passing - being the two biggest.

And lets not forget, not many players in the league have the ability to get red hot and carry a team on their backs for a quarter like Lin.

You're welcome Lin Lurkers LOL.
