I hope so, man.
If Ariza develops a good jumper we'll have a serious threat on offense who plays with energy and can play hard on defense.

Haha, I would love to buy that Jersey

 

[J_Ray]

That's probably pronounced different than you think Jose, but that would be a funny jersey.

 

[Nylex]

No Sweetney?!

 

[j0se]

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Nylex:</div><div class="quote_post">No Sweetney?!</div>

Sweetney has to be a man now, and start dominating games, he got drafted when he was a Junior, this is his 3rd NBA year, its time for Sweetney to breakout, if he fails this season, he's a failure.

 

[Bleed Green]

I wouldnt call them Veterans but Sweetney does have to step his game up. He might start and we need alot of points and rebounds from him. He's replacing a very good PF. Ariza is going 2 shine in those leagues.

 

[Mr. J]

Today is our first game and although it's not on TV, tommorow at 4:00 PM on MSG, we have a televised game. Check out Frye, Lee and Nate who have been all doing their thing according to what I've heard.

Ariza had a good game, 6 - 12, 6 assist, 8 rebounds


The frontcourt looked bad, Fyre went 5 - 15, but he went the Freethrow line 6 times, only 3 rebounds in 30 mins

Hopefully Lee being such the monster that he is on the boards, stole some of Frye's rebounds. This definitely isn't a good sign so far and there were already murmurs about his rebounding when he was in Arizona. Hopefully he bounces back tommorow against Orlando. Nevertheless, here's the recap:
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Travis Outlaw ended the 2004-05 season with the Portland Trail Blazers on a tear. In the final 15 games of the season, Outlaw averaged 10.6 points on 53% shooting and grabbed 3.2 rebounds per contest. In the final two months of the season, Outlaw logged more than 20 minutes 17 times and scored in double-figures in 11 of those 17 contests. He picked up where he left off on Wednesday evening as he scored 34 points (12-17 FG) and grabbed five rebounds, leading the Blazers past the New York Knicks, 93-89.

The Knicks climbed within three at 86-89 on a Otis George dunk with 39 seconds remaining. However, two free throws by Kris Lang and a dunk by Outlaw sealed the win for the Blazers.

Martell Webster, the fifth overall selection in the 2005 NBA Draft, collected 21 points (9-15 FG) and five rebounds in 27 minutes for the Blazers. Sebastian Telfair electrified the crowd with his all-around game and spectacular finishes. Telfair nearly missed a triple-double finishing with 18 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in 35 minutes.

First-round pick Nate Robinson showed worthy of the selection as he had 20 points (7-17 FG), five rebounds and four assists. Fellow rookie Channing Frye finished with 16 points (5-15 FG) and three rebounds for the Knicks.

The Blazers shot 55 percent (36-65 FG) for the game, while the Knicks shot 44 percent (33-75 FG). The game was tied at the half, 49-49.

Portland will take on the Golden State Warriors at noon on Friday, while New York will battle the Orlando Magic tomorrow at 1 p.m.</div>
Recap

 

[Voodoo Child]

It's way too early for me to start calling Frye a bust, but it's eally not a good sign when your #8 pick is held to three rebounds by Ha Seung Jin. Just imagine how he'll do against Shaq, Ben Wallace, Brad Miller, etc.

I also want to see how Nate Robinson will do against someone who's not a borderline 6-0. I still don't think he'll be productive against Point Guards like Jason Kidd and Marco Jaric who have close to a foot on him.

 

[bbwSwish]

Tommorow will be the true test when Frye and Robinson match up against Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson.

 

[Beat]

Im dissapointed looking at those stats. I'm proud of Telfair though but the knicks... I dont know whats wrong with those Knickers.

 

[Bobcats]

If Channing Frye put's up those kinds of stats in the regular season, the New York media is going to eat him and Isiah alive.

 

[Shard]

I find it no surprise that 2/3 top scorers in this game are Washington-born (Webster & Robinson). Other than that, give Frye a few more games to prove himself...every player adjusts differently and he may need some more time to do it.

 

[Mr.Wade]

Already a bad sign when you only get 3 boards in a summer league game. I also think we still need to wait before we make any judgements on Channing Frye. For the Knick fans, they better prey he does good.

 

[Mr. J]

So far the Knicks are up by 4 against the Magic at halftime. It has been interesting watching the young guys and now I get a better idea of all of their games and the impact they?ll make. I liked what I saw from Channing Frye in the first quarter, but foul trouble got to him. From what I?ve seen, he isn?t soft at all and once Aguirre gets to him, the sky?s the limit for him and hopefully he can develop into that ?Rasheed-offense/Camby-defense? kind of guy.

Lee is yet to fully get into the action, but so far I like what he?s doing; he?s being aggressive, rebounding and giving us energy. He has pretty good footwork too. He reminds me of a Jerome Williams with more offense.

Nate is the man. ?Nuff said. He is just a ?ball of energy? as his Washington coach said. He?s so active and always making something happen. He seems unfazed by his size, but maybe that?s just because he?s playing Jameer Nelson. Either way, he will be good and it was definitely a good pick for us.

Another great game by Nate. Frye had a big night at the FT line.

 

[Shapecity]

Who says Frye doesn't fight through picks?

 

[Beat]

Lol Telfair really did od right there.

 

[Mr. J]

This was a pretty good game for us. I was especially impressed with Nate Robinson. We all knew he was good, but I don't think any of us realized how good he was. 24 points in 27 minutes is no joke and his 3 steals which came off of tough defense, showed he was more than just a scorer. I can't wait to see what he does at the Garden! If he was about 6'3" or so, he would be a top 3 pick in the draft.

Frye was good this game. He was only 2-5 but he went to the line 10 times and made all of his FT's. He also shut some of the doubters up grabbing 6 boards in 21 minutes. I would prefer if he got more time so we can really see what he's all about.

Lee really struggled; his shots just weren't falling for him, but I liked what he brought to the table. He had 7 rebounds and went to the line 11 times. He was very energetic and once he finds a rhythem, it should be very fun watching him.

Nate Robinson wasnt bad but he didnt get alot of assists which isnt good since he wont be able to break down guys in the NBA like he did to Travis Diener.

Six rebounds in the summer league is decent I suppose. The reason why his minutes were limited is because he figured out a way to get into foul trouble in the summer league. He picked up his fifth foul in the third quarter.

Lee is a really good player. That's all I have to say about him.


Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.
