Are we playing a consolation game tonight? Is KP playing?
StarksEwing1 @ 7/17/2015 8:18 PM
Yes we play. Im pretty sure KP is sitting out for precaution

I don't understand why Porzingis isn't playing, they're not going to be playing another game until October, what exactly is this "precaution" for? Don't know if I'm even going to bother watching now.

he had a hip issue. Nothing serious but i guess they just want to be extra careful

The Greek Freak with the floater and the nasty baseline slam....Very active...

Grant showing a great final burst toward the rim after the good first step. He's playing well tonight.

Not so adamant about Kirk making the team anymore. It started when Matt Staimbrook easily scored on him in the post last game, but that missed layup on the break might have been worse.

Grant has one of the most subtle hesitation dribbles I've seen. He's not AI with the first step, but he knows how to keep his defender off balance.

Some talk about mudiay but i have been a big grant fan all year.

Its like he used up all his talent in the 1st game.

Nice touch grant

Matt "The Accountant" Staimbrook is an unstoppable force in the post.

Arguably the least athletic looking player in the SL, but he does have some nice moves down low.


Kirk has not looked too good since that first game...wonder if Phil will give him a training camp invite?

I'm thinking no at this moment.

Lol then Fisher needs too restrict his minutes as well. Maybe 10 mins a game?

@ 6'9, Ndour is a tremendous shot blocker. Great timing and quick leaping ability. Has a nose for the ball and is very intelligent...made a very good back door pass as I'm typing this...
Uptown @ 7/17/2015 9:49 PM
It's the Ledo and Grant show...back to back 3's!!! Ledo playing very well in this game...He is a good one one one player and we need a few of those guys on the roster when the triangle breaks down....

He made me a believer when he DESTROYED my blue devils for like 27pts 13ast. Or something along those lines

And commanded a double team in the tourney against kentucky

Plays with great poise and control...Never in a hurry but can blow by his defender at a moments notice. Best thing about Grant, he goes to the hole with his head uo..can really find his teammates..

Watching the game on delay. A bit surprised that Strong is in before the Lituanian. Also, Thanasis is having a good game.

Not sure of the BB IQ of the Lithuanian kid. Seems to float around a lot without purpose...or so it seems.

If he had shown more in practice he would have been given more time.

Did he play more tonight? I have only seen him for a minute on the court so I couldn't describe how he has played in summer league.

I saw most of the game but missed Galdikas. Just looked at the box score -- he played less than 3 mins, 0-2, 1 reb, 1 blk. Saw him briefly against GS at the end of the game. They knew going in they were resting Porzingis tonight and Galdikas still doesn't see any meaningful court time. Strange. Kirk got some time, you figure Galdikas would've seen his fair share too but it never came. Is that it? Was tonight the Knicks' last SL game?
