I really really like Ariza. He's everything we need in our SF.

if Ariza ever develops a consistent jumpshot, he's got a chance to be a star imo.

Don't worry it'll come. It sounds like he is trying to get a feel for his shot.

Our guards are gonna go to the line a lot because they can both go by defenders on the dribble.

Crawford!!!!!

That was uncalled for from KT. Duncan drove to the rim and KT was in position to take a charge but ran away for some reason. But good first half for the Knicks. Up 51-44.

So what do you guys think of Vin? And how is Crawford's shot selection?

Sweets D and Penny's O has been terrible so far.

Sweetney needs to work on his FT shooting.

Ariza's first step is beyond explosive.

Vin looks OK...he took a nice charge, but he's struggling to get off his shots...his ballhandle is horrendous.

Crawford is under control & taking open shots off Marbury's penetration, & he's also creating for himself on the perimeter.

Vin got better as it went along. Crawford is taking better shots as his tally reflects. He needs to be more automatic from the line. Sweets needs to be automatic from the stripe, too. He's gonna get there a lot.

I'd say Ariza earned a spot in the rotation if he can stay contstant.

Glad you're watching this. We have increased the talent level of this team by more than 100% since Zeke took over.

Vin looks like he'll be a decent O threat this season but his defense is just plain awful.

Crawford was lights out in that first half. His shot selection looked questionable at times, but when he makes them like he is making them, it doesn't really matter! A lot of his points actually came from catch and shoots.

Ariza is 100% in the rotation. He's one of the first guys of the bench and you can see why. He's solid on both sides of the ball.

The guy that has to be carefull here is Nazr. Vin is playing very well and Nazr isnt. Also Lenny likes the small line up with KT at center and Sweetney at PF at times. Nazr could very well fall totally out off the rotation with Vin starting and Sweetney, Ariza, Penny and JYD off the bench.

Based on a game and a half, thats the best rotation. Time will tell
