I have not said much about him because I have not seen him play.

Wow!

He played 23 min. WoW!

TT is like the walking dead. Vin is a zombie. Nazr is ambitious, but game is too quick for him. Craw shot selection and confidence broke down. Marbs was going at great pace, but had to do too much and lost his legs at the end. Penny looked flat.

I saw more positive then negative.

Its not who starts, but finishes. Sweet was a power. He is quick, and gets the rebounds. We took it to the rim tonite and got foul shots. It kept the game much closer than poping jumpers like last year.

Trever and Sweets have great instincts for the ball. Trever made lots of rookie mistakes, but the kid can play. He needs that jumpshoot and the world will look very different.

This team has a few issues, mostly positive. We need alan. He will get much more open looks than he has seen in years. Fred Freaking Hoiberg beat us with his jumpers. We need that.

Craw looked great the first 5 minutes, then tailed off. He will learn and improve. Its a long season. Sweets and Trevor will also grow.

I did not see Nazy as that horrible. He missed a few shots but lets applaud the fact that he was moving very fast and still caught the ball, and got to the hoop. That in its self opens things for rebounds and foul shots.

Steph had good control of the game and did a great job moving the ball and then waiting to take over. He will develope better judgement.

I saw many good things in this loss to one of the top 5 teams in the League. Lenny did a good job also.

It ain't perfect, and we did not play well enough to win, but we stayed very close, attacked the rim, got to the line, developed a rookie, and saw good coaching.

These are things we have not seen in a while. Enjoy this team for what it is, a work in progress!

Also,

Stephs body language was very good, he was talking and not yelling at his players. He kept cool and no scowl.

The kid is learning.

Trevors putback dunk with 4:11 in the second was camby-esq! I said "oh my god" and my wife was concerned. I told her we had a 19 year old kid fly like I have never seen a knick before! She said I should get a life.

PUt me on the Trevor bandwagon and fill my thermos with Kool Aid, Im joining up.

good post nalod and one thing I like about this team is the ability to use our quickness to score points in bunches, as you said, these guys will grow and learn and this season should be fun..

Enyspree,

Ariza is derived from latin term "honorous compensadis Laydenory" meaning: 2nd round gold as only Scott Layden could find when in Utah.

Yes, this kid is a gift, and his instincts are incredible.

Relax on the trades, this is not fantasy. Nazr looked bad, but the shots he blew were tough ones, and ones that open other opportunities like offensive rebounds. Those were not bad shots. I am more concered with Jamals shooting than Nazr. craw was out of control at times.

Spree looks like Gene Simmons of KISS with his kubuto style hair. Him and Hudson looked kinda silly.
