Is Turiaf our new Amundson?

D-Will has done some good things tonight, but he's made some BAD mistakes, too. Adelman was visually ticked off twice at D-Will in crunch time...

It seems like Williams has worked on finishing around the rim. I've only watched since like 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and he has had four And-1's while I've been watching.

I like Price, hope he sticks.

Just goes to show the gap between NBA teams and other international teams isn't as big as a lot of people think.

I managed to catch the last quarter and overtime where we pretty much ran with the line up of Price, Shved, Jeffers, Williams and Turiaf. Williams looks good, hes slim and certainly looks quicker. Was aggressive too, drawing fouls but missed some crucial free throws. Hummel still looks the best out of the 4 fighting for the 15th spot and is the best fit IMO. Shved shot looks terrible, 2 from 13 for the night and pretty much cost us the game.

Anyways congratulations to Moscow, they are a great team and played pretty dam well!

I guess we suck... ;)

Shved played like utter garbage tonight. Williams looked good but choked in the clutch. Overall the starters looked pretty good but I wish we could have seen more of the young guys

We played a 2 - 3 zone defense for most of the fourth and OT. Moscow's ball movement was brilliant and they continually found the open man.

And yes Turiaf is our new Amundson, he was pretty terrible! Would have been good to see Dieng get some burn instead!

Wow, that is embarrassing. I think some of our worst fears were realized tonight - porous defense, still can't make 3's, unreliable FT shooting, etc. Oh well, too early to panic and it's only preseason, but it's pretty disappointing to see our healthy starting unit come out in front of the home crowd and get beat fair and square by what is a vastly inferior team on paper.
