Quick Impressions of Game vs. Knicks

[slamtheking]

My thoughts on the game:
- KG still looked fluid and controlled the boards.
- Perk continues to improve.  His offense is still a bit stiff but he makes his shots
- Ray is active and looks good.  Should be a big part of the offense this year.
- Pierce looks off a bit.  Hopefully just some rust but he's not playing like his usual self.
- Rondo showed one good pull up jumper but does not seem to have improved his game or consistancy from last year.  Hope this changes before real season starts.
- Sheed  looked good on the boards and defense.
- Daniels has a nice mid-range game.
- House  can still shoot and still has major problems dribbling against pressure.
- Scal looked good, very good.  Still see him going in a trade.
- BBD looks physically better and moves better but he seems off his game.
- TA looked hopeless.  A couple of decent plays but nothing that showed he deserves playing time.
- Williams still doesn't look like he'll contribute much.  Got beat on defense a bit and didn't rebound as well as advertised. 
- Sweetney has some surprising offensive skills but he's playing for a contract elsewhere.
- Hudson shows some promise.  Not ready for primetime this year but someone worth keeping around.
- Giddens had another decent defensive outing -- better than TA.  Also showed an ability to distribute the ball on offense which was good to see.  Would like to see him actually try to score a bit.  Would move him ahead of TA on the depth chart if this continues.
