Who was that player, I think it was a Knick, but they bulked up over a summer (not Jamal Crawford- ha!), and it completely messed with their shooting? Was it Chnning Frye or someone like that? Can't remember! I do wonder if Durant bulked up, would he lose his shooting touch.
Yea yea good memory that was Frye
Still can't believe we took him over Bynum because he was more "NBA ready"
If the Nets lose to the Bucks tonight it is going to get really ugly for Kidd
In Cleveland, since their fight it seems like either Waiters has a good game and Irving & Thompson have a bad one, or vice versa
Someone created a fake Lawerence Frank twitter account where he posts the daily notes he gives to Kidd. Funny stuff.
These are the (fake) notes that I give to Jason Kidd. Every day.

Daily Report - 12/7/2013
Good morning, Milwaukee! I just checked Accuweather and it's 6 degrees up there. Wow, that is cold! It's too bad because Milwaukee is kind of an underrated town. I know it's not really your style, but if you got a free hour there's a great art museum right by the water. The architecture alone is worth a look.
Anyway, on to the hoops. The Bucks are a pretty horrible team, but they scare me for a few reasons and not only because, obviously, the Nets are also a pretty horrible team.
Here are some notes:
- Watch out for that Greek kid that everyone's in love with (I'm not getting paid enough to try to write his name. Joke!) and that John Henson character. If they start doing their long arm freak stuff, just throw Reggie on one and Mason on the other.
- I always thought it was weird when the NBA schedules a game a thousand miles away out of nowhere. You played in Brooklyn on Thursday and then you're home again on Tuesday. Why schedule a trip to Milwaukee right in the middle of that? I asked Adam Silver about this a few years ago and he just smiled a little and walked away in that way that he has.
- Also keep an eye on Ilyasova. If he decides to show up, it could get ugly. Maybe keep KG away from him. There's some Bargnani potential there.
- Just go ahead and pencil Brandon Knight in for 20-25 points. He's a firecracker and, to be totally candid, I don't think Tyshaun and Shaun are up to the challenge.
Stay warm. I'm gonna treat myself to a bloody mary

I think the same goes for Amare. Since the lockout season where he put on muscle, his shot has been almost completely gone.
This is the most intrigued I have been by a 4-14 team playing a 5-14 team that didn't involve the Knicks in some way. I think Kidd might be gone if the Nets lose this game.
Nets need to just give the ball to Bropez. Most nights he can't be defended.
Must see BG just missed a big free throw.
The bucks have an expo like crowd.
maybe the pacers will turn into the 2012/13 knicks and struggle the rest of the way... crazy start for them.
Rudy Gay To Kings for Salmons,Vazquez & more
Dwight has 55 rebounds in his last 3 games (so far).

YEP, he is a nice scoring Big..
(How are the Knicks doing? Everything back under control? I've been watching GS, and some Indiana and Houston. Just to clear my head before the Knicks head to the playoffs.)
I still enjoy Mark Jackson's coaching--though my coach judgement may be suspect because I'm starting to like McHale--but GS was a little better last year with Malone sub-coaching. Sure, Jackson's best coaching might amount to "What Steph said." but after watching GS this year, I suspect Malone pushed Curry and various other players in ways slightly different than "Steph said." last year. (And that's not to say that Malone is doing a great job with the Kings so far.) I do generally approve of Jackson turning over many court decisions to Curry and Curry's a great player--somewhere between Iverson and Reggie Miller, already--but GS's substitutions, minutes, timing, and adjustments are less productive this year.
It's not that Jackson isn't coaching . . . Thompson is heading toward a Reggie Miller role, Bogut is still adapting, Barnes gets plenty of green lights, Iguodala (before his injury) was improving and so on. But, David Lee (who still has very nice stats) is playing hard but not very smart ball, Bazemore and the bench in general need longer runs, O'Neal has been brilliant at time and he seems to enjoy playing with Curry and Thompson but he's not great playing crazy uptempo ball with Bazemore on the second team so why not bring him in for Lee more? Why not encourage Curry to head even more toward a Nash role? Bench Maurice Speights now or make him play inside. And so on. (I know, I know, too many injuries for complicated coaching.)
Anyway, I just can't help but think "But Popovich/Carlisle would try . . . " when I watch GS.
Brooklyn whole different team with a healthy Williams.
