    No Jordan Hill? I was more impressed with him than Williams.

    Sammy is the biggest positive. Amazing addition to the team. Williams looked good, could be better. Kyle and Scola are great.

    Managed to keep it close without our leader Patterson.

    We comepletely outhustled. Mre rebounds, more steals, more blocks, less turnovers.


    If KMart wouldve hit at least 40% of his shot, which most were open looks, we couldve been in better position to win this.

    The defensive rotations needs improvement

    The positives for me were Lowry picking up where he left off last year, Jordan Hill's improvement in the interior, and Dalembert looking surprisingly good without a practice.

    Those are my choices as well. Dalembert being the main choice. The team is still working out the kinks with all the new changes but a good effort showned tonight. I still remember last season how bad we got blown out by the Magic. And I know everyone loves Hayes here and I do too but that game was with Hayes on Howard most the game. With a legit center we held in there and if Martin didn't throw up bricks all game we would probably be winners.

    You've been starting a lot of awesome new threads. I guess we can look forward to more.

    The positive is, and its a big one, we were missing anywhere from 25 to 30+ points of our offence from Martin and Bud combined. Thats it. Nothing else. As a matter of fact, if Martin would have just hit most of his open attempts, we win.


    (BTW, you all do know that Martin is mailing it in, right?)

    I try and look at the positive side of things. Yes, losing today was really tough, but to start hating on everything after just 1 game where we were in it until the end is wrong, we have to look at the big picture.

    Dalembert played very well after being signed before the game with no practice with teammates.

    Martin was off his game.

    McHale's coaching & rotation was ....not the best, yet.

    Jordan Hill showed some promise.

    Lowry was All-World tonight

    T-Will & Lee were great off the bench

    Scola was great until getting gassed

    P.Pat wasn't there

    Once we get it together, hopefully in 2 or 3 games, sky's the limit.

    I don't think it's a positive but it's funny

    Do any of you have a sneaking suspicion that thabeet was inactive and flynn did not play because they are getting traded?
