I'm kinda diggin' Isaiah Austin

Webster's shooting is keeping us in this game.

Sounds like a disgusting amount of Knick fans made their way to the Verizon Center.

His McGee frame is a concern. He's gotten bigger in the shoulders but long thin legs will make success at the 5 in the NBA difficult.

Did Nerlens guard Austin and Len when Kentucky played Maryland and Baylor? Anyone know?

Webster is going to get a bigger pay day next season. Over 40% from three point land on the year and he's not strictly a catch and shoot player. Not a huge deal but certainly more than the million and change one year deal he's on now.

He's playing pretty well from what I saw. When he gets dialed in he can really shut down the paint.

[Fight4RGIII]

I'd love to keep Webster around next year but I want him to get a nice pay day, not necessarily from us.

And he has a jumper. Almost like a smarter, less athletic McGee with a jumper.

Nerlens and Cauley-Stein guarded Len and Len went off on them. That's pretty much what his draft status has been built upon.

I watched the Baylor game, Nerlens didn't exclusively guard Austin because Nerlens pretty much exclusively plays the 5 and Baylor played Austin at 4 a good bit. Nerlens spent a lot of time guarding Corey Jefferson IIRC. But bottom line, Kentucky goes very heavy with the zone so you're not going to see a ton of one on one battles shades of Hakeem versus Ewing.

Magic Johnson just called the Wizards young and exciting. Also, I hate Kevin Seraphin.

[stevemcqueen1]

I like this lineup actually. I want to play Wall with three other three point shooters as much as possible.

Martell has a PER of 13.6, best of his career. He's been valuable to us this year, but he's still technically a below average NBA starter. You can't pay him too much.

---------- Post added February-6th-2013 at 07:53 PM ----------

Austin is really quick. He is such an oddball. Fascinating player.

---------- Post added February-6th-2013 at 07:57 PM ----------

I really like what Singleton is doing tonight. Please let him be out of the doghouse. Ariza has quietly started to play well the past few games.

Wall just got Ish Smithed.

I wonder what Amar'e said to Wall? It's not like Wall to get chippy.

"You just got dropped"

[stevemcqueen1]

Nevermind, Tyson Chandler tripped Wall.

John shouldn't have gotten a technical for that IMO. He didn't do anything but get in Amare's face for shoving him.

[Fight4RGIII]

Wall got Ish Tripped

[stevemcqueen1]

Wall got Ish Tripped

Yeah that was a dirty move. Then it was followed by Wall getting elbowed by Amar'e on the play he was called for palming. Then Amar'e shoved him. No wonder he got pissed.

Just heard Shabazz got the flu and lost 15 pounds.

[stevemcqueen1]

Yeah there are way too many Knicks fans there. Didn't realize they still had such a national appeal.

Look at Nene! Running the floor!

---------- Post added February-6th-2013 at 08:32 PM ----------

Chandler sets a lot of illegal picks.

God Wall's jumper is so bad tonight. Attack man.

[StillUnknown]

Wall forcing that jumper instead of attacking, he has to recognize when to switch up.
