Clippers just couldn't hold on to the lead against Detroit losing a 99-96 double OT thriller. What a game.
But man! This team will be good. Wilcox is playing like a true stud at C going 24 pts(10-14) 9 REB (6 offensive) and 1 BLK. Brand is playing his usual self, and Maggett, after an awful preseason, is bouncing back strong. He had 25 pts and 19 rebs. They're 2-2 after this loss to Detroit. They're still young, especially Jaric at PG position who could be blamed for the loss with his poor play in the closing seconds. The lack of real PG hurts, but they're playing well overall withour Kaman and Kittles. I'm interested to see how they play with these 2 guys back in the starting line up. I doubt they will be resigning Jaric next summer. If the 6-7 PG Shaun Livingston can prove that he's worth the 4th pick, watch out...
Damn... to think that we could have had Wilcox in a Knick uniform...
Now, unless the Knicks improve their game and play some serious interior defense, I'm gonna say that Clippers' frontcourt will humiliate the Knicks on Friday.
But before that, the Knicks gotta beat the 76ers and get in the groove. Otherwise with the tough West coasr trip coming up, BRIGGS' worst case scenario may come true. Come oooooooonnnnnn, Knicks!!!
