Does no one expect Young to see any minutes at the 4 this season?  Wouldn't surprise me to see him at PF for 5 minutes or so a game.  That would cut into Speights/Smith time.

We had too many 2/3's and our PF's were horrible.  That opened up time for Young at PF.

This year we have a dearth of good 2/3's and good depth at PF.  The loss of Carney prevents us from sending out 3 athletic and long swings at the same time.  I doubt we see much of Young at PF unless a team goes so small against us that the match-ups dictate it (the PF is too quick for Brand or Speights.)

Just turned on the Knicks game (tape delayed by 30 min.)

Why is Nate Robinson playing in summer league?

For that matter- why is Tractor Trailer on a roster?  Was he in Vegas and figured he would get some burn to work off what he put on from the buffet circuit?

Traylor is trying to get back into the league

Are the knicks running the d'antoni system?  Rumors today said the knicks think nate can be like barbosa...he's trying to learn the system?

Speights has 10 and 5 on 5-7 shooting in eleven minutes so far.

Looking at the boxscore...our frontcourt seems very dominant, looking forward to actually seeing the game.

yeah... I'm going to stop looking at the box score now that the game is on.  I'd like at least a little suspense.

Ok.  I love Speights.  That problem we had at PF.... I don't think the Sixers will have that predicament again for quite some time.

Is it just me or did Smith score like 10 straight points to start the 4th?

Young is missing shots he could usually hit with his eyes closed.

I turned off after the first half, nice to hear he improved in the second half...could it be fatigue?
