Rockets, Knicks and Kings will play tonight. According to the game preview of the Thunder versus Knicks on Yahoo sports TMac might play tonight. Martin and Landry will surely play. Of course not forgotten are the rest of the players in the 3 team trade. But we'll focus more on these 3 player.
You know, I'm looking forward to seeing Landry and McGrady play with their respective teams almost as much as I am looking forward to the Rockets.
Probably Martin, he'll be the most comfortable in his respective offense. He'll probably be more comfortable here than he was in Sacramento. To say he will have the green light is an understatement. Landry and McGrady must adjust. Who knows if McGrady's even healthy enough to be competitive?
I think it's a toss up between Landry or Martin. Martin already knows this offense and if he catches an open pass he just do what he does best... shoot the ball. Landry is used to coming off the bench and is just as good as getting his points from hustling for offensive rebounds and putting back for points as he is posting up in a set offense. TMac is rusty and has not played so even if he is in shape he is not in basketball shape. Having said that we have all seen TMac sit out for multiple weeks to come back and have a really good showing in his first game even when he is not able to carry that production to the next game.
i'd say martin too. but i'll definitely be watching all 3 of them play tonight. good thing the games play one after the other, so knicks for 1 hr (or less cuz i hate watching them play), then rockets and finally kings. thank god for online streams.
If Martin gets 30+ minutes he'll score between 30-40, book it. McGrady will be good in D'antoni offense. But just for 20 minutes, he can't run for 30+ minutes. Landry, he's just gonna be good. No Doubt.
Ill take the longshot here and say McGrady. That is, if your measure is limited to points scored. In NY, McGrady is going to have the green light to jack up as many shot attempts as he wants. He also has a chip on his shoulder regarding Houston management and will not hesitate a moment to prove how wrong we were to trade him.
I'm going with Landry vs. Clippers tonight, the first time we played the Clippers this year Landry played 37 min. and went for 27pts shooting 7/10 from the field and given that the Kings might play him some heavy minutes, his surely to do well in his debut.... --RB
I don't expect Kevin to have a good percentage, 25+ scoring night just yet since it's his first game. But i do believe he won't go 0-12 like Jamison did. Anyways, anything could happen. I can't wait to watch the game.
Martin knowing the system will be a HUGE advantage but Landry should also do well picking up garbage points and running the break for the Kings. TMAC will show flashes but I don't expect much from him right away.
I think Tracy, if he plays, and if he plays considerable minutes. Which is questionable for his first game. I just think he will have a chip on his shoulder. Plus, playing for the Knicks he will be able to do whatever he wants. As far as KevMart goes, I think he might be a bit more reserved as to try to fit in with the team. So I doubt he will shoot a lot and try to put up big numbers.
K Martin with 21 pts tonight ... <<<edited >>> oophs Landry with 14 .... number of his ex jersey T MAXED out due to CDNP
