Yi and Brook will start. Wondering whether Hodge will play at all. If Dooling takes all the minutes at backup point, it would probably signal that he won't make the team.
vince playing hard on both ends, did a nice dunk before, was on the verge of hitting a nasty dunk but fouled
8-5 nets. I'm a little behind. Yi hit a couple of sweet jump shots, one on an assist from Carter. Yi also gave Carter a nice bounce pass that Vince converted for a dunk. Nets showing decent defense.
