    This is a good opportunity for Earl to show what he's got. I think they need the defense and playmaking of Earl, moreso than Barton's turn overs.

    Let's hope Earl "Blazer Killer" Watson doesn't kill us.

    This is why we have Watson. I am anxious to see him play more minutes to see what he can do. I just don't think CJ was destined for PG minutes this season.

    Earl is not the shooter Mo is, but he does other things a little better.

    Yeah, I actually liked what I saw from him the other night. Solid and unspectacular. He's not going to mess up, but he's also not going to carry an offense if everyone else on the floor goes cold.

    I'm sure they will later. Threads like this....... they usually let hang out for a bit so people can see the news, then they consolidate when the word has been delivered.

    With Mo out, we'll hang our offensive hat even more on Wes and Lillard. Time to roll the Wessy Dice one more time!

    LA find $45? Wow. That seems pretty steep. No history of tech OR fighting, no twitter blow ups or racial epithets. Bogut is a jackass. Sweep the elbow.

    Well, on the plus side it's a short-handed Knicks team, so I guess we picked a decent night to play without Williams.

    A game check would have been 200K+ so I think he got off pretty lightly.

    For comparison's sake Travis Outlaw was fined 15K for a flagrant 2

    I believe the term punch means a closed fixated swing. Mo tried to slap him actually.

    That's alright. We still have LMA and Wes. That's huge. We won't need Mo as much tonight. I have confidence in Watson!

    It's Elementary, my dear Watson!

    Was it actually forty five dollars? I've never heard of fines under $5k

    Pretty close to how I thought things should be. I'm fine with it. Just glad Aldridge didn't get a game, that was my big worry.
