Larkin and THJ in the starting lineup tonight.

Right off the tip-off, Larkin looking to hand the ball off to Timmy before they even crossed the time line. WTF is that Shane? Keep the damn ball and be aggressive with it!!! Get in that lane and make things happen!!

Jason Smith also in the starting lineup---Nene making him look slow a few times already, blowing by him like he's not even there...

6 min mark--playing better. Larkin finally got to the rim for a layup + a foul. Everyone's a Very sloppy with the ball so far. Some bad turnovers so far..

I don't get the point of giving everyone a chance to start. Makes is seem like Fish is afraid to hurt the veterans feelings
Only 1 more game. We should have a starting 5 by now

If only Larkin would play more aggressive. Just hit a baseline 15 footer off a screen by cole...and just now a lightning quick drive and dish out to STAT for a jumper...that's it!! This kid's gotta be aggressive and make himself a threat!! Totally different player when he plays like this

This seems like the game where Fisher is finally cleaning up the rotation. Substitutions have been good so far. team needs to defend though.

I actually like what I see out of Larkin.

Hate what I see from Feast or Famine THJ. CONSISTENCY PLEASE!

Melo's passing is plain atrocious. Every move he makes is with the intent to score and never with the intent to create for others. If all fails, he very reluctantly will pass.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

I'd like to see everyone get there touches too. A few times guys like Jason and Sammy were in the post and called for the ball and Larkin looked them off...give them the ball!!! Smith is actually a pretty skilled post player. He can score down there

Larkin is getting more comfortable now. Overall the minutes have been good for him.

This team is gonna have to get used to playing well no matter who's out there so I don't mind all these different lineups that much. It would be great to have it all set but that will come.

Playing extremely sloppy but hard. Only down 1 at the end 1, 25-24. Worst move by STAT this entire pre-season. He's gotta make a more aggressive move on Gortat there. Clyde's right-- he telegraphed that move big-time. He's gotta turn and look to put Gortat on a poster there.

I know it's pre-season and they don't count yet but I want this W tonight. No way I wanna see us go down 0-3 at MSG. Gotta get a mindset that nobody can just show up and beat us here.

I'd like to see Cole get a long look tonight. We know what Sammy can do -- lemme see Cole tonight for 35 mins. What if he put up 10/15/3 tonight against Gortat and Nene---would that open Phil and fish's eyes?

Cole will get burn. Amare & Jason are so injury prone

Shump actually looks quite impressive tonight.

Now show it to me for 5 games straight and I'll reopen the case

I think they know what Cole can do. It may just be a numbers game.
