    I don't think Bullard knows what "prodigy" means.

    Absolutely not. Asik has been run ragged. I feel like McHale plays him too much and its only preseason. McHale is gonna run him to the ground when the actual season starts.

    Time to start worrying about Lin? Barely improved over the summer.

    Reality check for the youngsters and the overzealous fans.

    Sloppy game facing a top level team and without 2 of the regular starters (Martin, Pat). The Hornets game showed that the Rockets can beat up on some truly bad teams in the league. This game shows how far they are away from real contender level.

    Also, should we start panicking a bit over Lin and having Ömergasms over Asik or is it still too damn early in the preseason?

    Machado shows a lot of promise as far as running the offense

    Asik = best.

    For those too excited about Machado, kid has potential but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He was not playing against the Spurs' starters. He needs to learn to play D before we can rely on him in a meaningful game.

    Let's sign Eddy Curry as backup C

    D mo has limited D but lot of O especially on fastbreaks

    Play Omer with DMo

    Our PG's are the weakest link imo

    I still hate Delfino

    Omer is God, great signing, love his effort

    Machado is a poor man's Lowry without the D but better passing. I would be surprised if he didn't wind up spending much of the season in the D-league with a roster spot or not.

    Motijunas has problems with defense and still is very raw with his skills catching the ball while moving. Still offensively he has a lot of potential, although not as a legit center

    Hopefully, White or Morris will get to play one of the remaining pre season games, I'd rather see what those two young ones bring to the table then see Delfino slowly walking around or standing still while on defense.

    From what I was reading really sloppy game. Hopefully all the kinks get fixed tomorrow for Dallas and we get to see some Royce White in action.

    Asia Trip

    I felt the month long Asia trip wasn't to Lin's advantage. Next summer he should cut it short or cancel it.

    Murphy's pimp daddy suits getting more outrageous. I'm expecting a big ass fedora hat and a cane next time.
