I could deal with KG looking bad if he's missing shots or something, but if he's hobbling around it's going to be Panicsville around the CB water cooler (guessing the C's first preseason game won't be much of a water cooler topic to most of the general public).

Bingo.

I don't know about the last part though, given how none of the Sports Hub guys genuinely like basketball (except Rich Shirtenlieb of Toucher+Rich), the KG knee issue got considerable airtime on the two afternoon shows today (Tangay's and Felger's)
God bless and good night!

I agree that how KG looks will be the main course of water cooler discussion tomorrow -- however, I am interested in Rondo's jumper.  I wonder if his work with Mark Price has impacted his form and  his confidence.  Obviously, one pre-season game won't tell the story, but I want to see him hoist a few.

KG isnt even 70% the practice walking is just too ovious on this one
8 minutes per half ( as declared ) and its just more than what he can handle is all we are going to get
So my main thing for one hour from now is to see if Daniels really can play the point over Tony , hudson, Eddie and similars.

Nice to be back!

If the only choices on KG are wether he looks good or bad I will have to go with bad. He was limping around a lot and probably still will be. The thing is though, he is out there and that says something. If I owned a machine worth 40-80 million dollars and was overly concerned that it would break down if I used it then I sure wouldnt use it. On the other hand, if I thought it just needed to run a while to be fine tuned then by all means I would run it. Sorry for the analogy but I think it applies.

Which is nice.  I'm really enjoying the new option. (back to topic)
Yup

For those that haven't voted, vote.  I think you'll be shocked at the results thus far.

Sarcasm? 
At the time I wrote that, Marquis was leading the voting, but the final votes went where I expected...to KG.

I am relieved at how good he looked even though in the 3rd he was obviously getting gassed.

Sadly, it appears that Rajon's FT shooting is the same and did he even take a jumpshot?  I remember him passing up one which left us with a 2 second shot clock.  ::)
