take away the fact they were on fire, i thought they played really well. they are kind of short handed in the frontcourt, but they have a lot of guys who can get you of the dribble and if Salmons can play at even half the llevel he played at the other night, thats a pretty good team even with a 60% webber. in our division boston and toronto are absolutely BRUTAL, Toronto probably has more talent than Boston if CV plays like this+ they get back Joey Graham[they didnt take granger because of worries about his knee and look what happens, Graham's knee is messed up] so Im thinking Boston last place Tonto 4 right now NY 3 Philly 2, NJ 1. Were going to have to make a playof push the second half the year--need to stay within 4-5 games of .500 and go 10 games over the second half


Im glad LB saw that we need to run back better on D and I know who that was pointed at. There were a lot of guys not playing smart, but Curry, to me was playing lazy and was not helping intimidate the lane at all. When I watched John salmons go in for 3 footers in the lane time+ time either getting fouled or making a shot, I knew LB would speak up.

No panzying Curry, he can score as good as almost any big man, but no babying him at the other facets. Id rather him score 15 points in 35 minutes with 13 rebounds and 2.5 blocks.

Brown took that day off for a reason. He wanted to watch our team to see where changes were needed. The next day, he cleaned up the mess in a hurry.

I'm not high on Salmons. Nice bench player but thats about it. Igodala is sick though, and they have a very good and balanced starting 5. Having the shooter in there (Korver) really makes them that much better. All the pieces on the starting 5 seem to fit well.

I think we have a lot more talent but will we play better? Time will tell. If they are healthy I think the get out of the gate faster, but we have more ponies to keep us up over 82 games. Iverson and Webber are always at risk. I think people are sleeping on how good Igo is, on both sides of the ball. He defends the best wing player on the other team and he's becoming a hell of an offensive player.

They are a bit further along than we are at the moment.

We are much deeper.

...couldn't care less. The sixers damn sure won't get over like that on us during the season.

Salmons shot more free throws than the whole knick squad. He won't score that many points again in his life time
