    TD playing fairly well and made some very nice passes.

    13 mins = 4 pts, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 TO

    I think Machado will have too many problems on the defensive end. You could kind of see it from the training camp videos but it wasn't really exposed because they weren't trying to take advantage of him. But in an actual game, I wouldn't be surprised to see the other team abusing him by just constantly feeding whoever he's guarding.

    nopee he wa saying Morris should be the backup 3 and Delfino should be benched. After 8 minutes of play in the pre-season!

    I'm just commenting at all of these stupid knee-jerk statements that are instantly reversed when the player in question is doing better/worse depending on the previous minutes commentary.

    Example: Player X makes two 3's=Annoint him! start him! Bench player y!

    Player X misses two 3's=bench him, he's crap, DNP him, why did we sign him?

    Just enjoy the damn game. Every player will have ups and downs....<annoyed>

    Funny you should say that because Herb Williams was asked during Linsanity whether Lin's play surprised him over Douglas and Bibby. Williams said "Lin surprised him a little but that he was more of a true PG and Douglas was a combo guard". Guess everyone has their opinion about Lin but I know TD is not going to run a team as the primary PG.

    Where is Scott Machado?

    This team has defensive players who will keep this team in games. Durant and Westbrook played a lot of minutes, and did their thing. Yet the Rox trail at half by only one.

    Maybe if Westbrook has a false sense of security shooting on Lin in this game, he might be surprised the next time these teams play. Lin is the type of player who normally makes those shooting on him look bad...... I mean air-ball bad..... He did that quite a few times in a Knicks uniform.

    If you take away Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin, the Knicks have nothing on this Rockets team.
