tyus playing well in the 4th.

We are winning the three point battle, but not many other battles.

Most of our third string is playing very well this preseason: Hill, Payne, Tyus and Lucas.

Edging? Given the importance of a solid PG tandem and the relative youth of our two backup PGs, I think Lucas is a lock to make the roster.

I thought it was actually Dunn's best game yet despite his minus 19 in 27 minutes. He's still forcing too many shots (only making about 22% of his shots this preseason), but at least he protected the basketball well tonight. The offense just flows so much better when Jones is at the point, and he was a plus 3 in his 20 minutes. I wish Thibs would pair Jones and Dunn together, but he doesn't seem inclined too.

BTW, there's a terrific Lynx game happening on ESPN...up 42-40 late in the first half in an elimination game in LA. Rebeccah Brunson got 2 quick fouls, forcing magnificent Maya Moore to play PF opposite Candace Parker...so far Maya's winning the battle.

I watched some of this game, but was pretty unimpressed with nearly everything I saw. Bjelly and Aldrich were terrible.

Ma boy Steve Adams dominating.

I am watching the game back from the begining. Up until throwing a bad pass with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter Belly was easily the best player he was doing plenty of everything.

He is a pretty good player. He is interesting because he has the defensive complimentary game something like Deandre Jordon also plays the tough irritant but the guy actually has some legit offensive skill.
