Porzingis said he can’t believe how much attention Tatum draws, he is going to EAT in that two man game.

The team is just so fucking talented.

I’m fascinated with Zinger. And that quarter shows the good and (mildly) bad

he can’t handle a big body like Robinson

but Robinson can’t stay with him on the perimeter

Wow. This is a slaughter. I like the faster pace on offense, bringing it up; it used to drive me nuts watching Marcus stroll across halfcourt.

I’m here. Zinger is impressive when you see him live. Also, this crowd is amped for a preseason game.

He’s a ball stopper on a team full of guys who are willing and capable passers, but I’m not sure if it’s really a problem. He’s still elite scoring talent out there.
Yeah, the shots won’t always be falling and they will need someone who can break a D on his own.

That said, I don’t think anybody should be surprised if JB is ultimately moved at some point. Part of it financial, but part basketball too. Highly dependent on return, of course. Brad’s not dumb.

I know it’s preseason but I really like CJM having them press like this. He’s getting them ready, team is getting the message. Fucking around time is over.

Can’t he not be traded until next year? Unless that’s what you meant. In which case I agree, it wouldn’t shock me if he is eventually moved.

Yeah, we ride with the Jays this year then see what’s out there, maybe pending the results of this season. I’m not driving him to the airport or anything.

I get why the contract happened, but I think you can maybe argue that our fifth best player just got the richest contract in the NBA.
As long as they can move that contract to Atlanta for a nice haul, we're okay ... but if JB starts looking like negative value, we might be in trouble.

where ya sitting? We’re up in 314

agreed on Zinger
I’m slumming it over in the Sportsdeck. My son is taking full advantage of the free food. I used to have season tickets in 315, right against the wall. I loved those seats.

nice! Just good to be back in the Garden. Last time we were here, Tatum hurt his ankle and the season ended.

Grimes and McBride are playing harder than anybody else, and they're getting rewarded for it.

There is no world with the guys on the floor one player should dribble around as much as Brown just did that ended in a TO you could see coming a mile away

Jesus, Jaylen, you're surrounded by four current or former All-Stars. Pass the fucking ball.

KP looks WAY better on D than I was expecting for some reason. I thought he was clunkier, but his close outs are quick and he gets back in position down low so quickly. He's just so athletic for someone that tall. It's crazy.
