    I, personally, didn't understand why everyone thought they'd be so much better this year, despite the moves they made this summer.

    Normally, Outlaw comes in with 6 minutes left in the 1st. Tonight, he came in with 3 minutes left, and Webster came in with 6 minutes left. You know what, forget it... it was a confusing statement and I'm having a hard time explaining it. The upshot is that I thought at the time that Outlaw would play fewer minutes so that Bayless could play some, but it's really that Webster's playing fewer. I mean, there's only so many minutes to go around... that's all I was trying to say.

    Miller was announced at SF by Mark Mason... he also "guarded" Ginobli when Manu hit the 3... I think he's actually pretending to play SF.

    NINE players with at least 4 points. And yet we only have 5 assists. Odd. Loving this.

    No, Miller was announced at C, Roy was SF, Blake was PF, and LMA was PG.

    No halftime interview? Where the hell is Jim Grey when you need him?

    I meant be used as much as possible. So yes, that means play him till he fouls out.

    They're being really stingy handing them out. According to 'Tone, Miller didn't get one on his pass to Outlaw for the 3 earlier.

    Why do they still call NY the mecca of basketball?

    Geez, an athletic, young team that can run and push the ball.

    Who would've thunk it? Well done McGenius, how many years to figure that one out?

    When Oden has a player willing to defend him straight up, olde skool style, he seems to light up.

    They were VERY unhealthy last year, and they significantly upgraded at the small forward with Richard Jefferson.

    Even accounting for normal age-related backsliding by Duncan and Ginobili, the team should have improved.

    They look very small and old at this point, though...
