2 games is not too much of material but I can already see how players and team are started the season comparing to my expectations:
Q is exeedeed expectations
Curry, Lee, and Nate are right there performing as expected
Fry is a dissapointment so far
I was not really expecting anything from other players and they really never show anything to talk about in first 2 games

IT as a couch is not yet there and it will naturally take time to get back to respectable couching after 3 years. The couches group as a team is cruppy. But this is not a big news.

Team performance in general is up to my expectations - they are where they should be with the given player and consequences.
What if you take on this gs?

agreed with all the evaluations. I think our guards have sucked. We have gotten nothing from Stephon, Francis and Crawford. Nate was amazing last night but if we play a team with better team defense, all his shots are going to blocked.

I am very impressed with Dlee. The man is a ball magnet!

But his defense sucks. We really need Jeffries back.

Finally someone sees what I see! Thank you for taking a realistic view rather than an extreme viewpoint!

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Lee showed big promise already lats year and he is improved.
To start exeding my expectation he should show better defence and work on his jumpshot.
I think he is doing this but its never works overnight.

I am not expecting miracles from him.
But the situation is right for him to develop faster that on good team

I think he is more of a lazy boy recliner than a couch. :) (sorry)

I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

D lee is a good rebounder so far. He is an up and down defender. He is showing a bit more polish offensively but actually seems to have lost a bit of his leaping explosiveness. In 2 games I would grade DLee a solid B

Its only 2 games but I'm ahppy with Q rich, Lee and curry. I think Nate and Jcraw could join this list at some point. Hopefully frye and Balkman as well

After the first 2 games, I see good things from Q, Eddy, Lee, Nate and Steph. As the team becomes more acclimated to the new system, more guys will step up.

I hope Jeffries won't miss too much time. We still need to improve our team D.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!
