Amir is playing his heart out, loving all the hustle he showed in the first half.

Brutal looking offense during this stretch of the fourth.
I dont think Case knows how to use Lowry and Calderon together very well, the offense just shut down when Lowry and Bargs (to play with Calderon) were subbed in.
JV's block on Amare makes me wayyy too happy.
Lowry is a beast!!! Two deep threes in a row!!!!
Great game. Super impressed. JL3 has blown me away so far. Caldy is expendable at this point. Love what I am seeing so far. We should do well this year if they stay healthy.
That is all.
I will be sleeping with a smile tonight.
Loved this game. It wasn't so much that everything was perfect - far from it, in fact - but seeing guys not back down, being the more physical team, out rebounding, out working.
The depth is really going to be an added bonus this year.
I love what Lowry brings. Finally a guys with enough game to back up the swagger from the big balls.
JV was a rookie tonight and struggled. But he didn't quit. So so so so so important. 10 rebounds in 24 minutes. Solid D and help.
Speaking of not backing down earlier, did anyone see the forearm Bargnani gave Tyson Chandler? He got dinged for the foul but still the more important point is Chandler is talking shit to him most of the game and Bargnani gives him the "go fuck yourself" elbow. I think there has been a mentality change brought in by Casey and being enforced by the new players which is rubbing off on the hold overs.
I'm just rambling here by the way.... one last thing. I know it is only preseason but if I was a Knick fan I'd be worried. Still no chemistry between Amar'e and Melo. Both guys are super talented but c'mon - together? Biggest issue is their lack of bench. Novak is a great shooter. Kidd, Thomas, Camby, Wallace, Prigioni are OOOOOOOLD. I think the KNicks are better than they showed but again I'd still worry if a Knick fan. Shumpert, Smith, and Brewer will certainly help but I don't think it will be drastic enough. Lots of talk about 3-5 seed for the Knicks. 7 or 8 looks much more likely imo.
I can't wait for this season.
Carmelo was goin at Landry the whole game.. Beef ting?
That pic of Chandler is the funniest thing I've seen all day - thanks.
This game was painful to watch at times, but it's the first I've seen and I'm way more hopeful than last season.
John Lucas... give that guy some PT!
TORONTOOOOOO RAPTORSSSSSS
NEVER FORGET... NUMERO OCHO 👌 #saluteJose
Except for the great looking shoes, the outfits are standard fare at Value Village.
Was the pic taken in Montreal?
