This is Bassy's big opportunity. Like I've been saying the whole time, I'm one of the few guys that has backed him up from day one, and I think he is ready to get his career on track. He's not going to live up to his New York hype, as that would even be impossible for Michael Jordan to do, but he's going to be a solid player. He's much more of a true point guard than some people give him credit for, and he is going to really benefit by playing with a young team that will get up and down. That's all he needs, to be given the keys to the car to run an up-tempo system. That's what he has been given. Make the most of it, Bassy!</p>
I hopee he plays well like he did in the preseason. Oh no..... does this mean Marko's going to get playing time?!?!?!? NOOOO!!!</p>
