Not too many game on the schedule last night, so this should be quick.

Line of the Night: Quentin Richardson (0.89) shot 61% from the field while making 5 three pointers, and grabbing 9 rebounds. I’m fairly certain that’s the kind of player D’Antoni is looking for.

Honorable Mentions:
Nick Collison (0.84) had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, but also added 3 steals and 2 blocks. D-Fense!

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Well, since Q-Rich may still be available in your league, go have looksee. He’s already been picked up by Erik in the Battle of the Bloggers league.

Other notables include: Ramon Sessions (0.40) who took over for the injured Luke Ridnour and made everyone wonder why he wasn’t the starter in the first place (18 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists).

The Biggest Loser: Randy Foye (-0.62) started for the Timberwolves and played 30 minutes during which he missed 10 shots, had 3 rebounds, got 6 assists, and turned the ball over 5 times. Ouch.

Other Stuff Like This:

  • Honestly, Crawford is an enigma to me. I was psyched about his first game, but as you said, yesterday, he crapped it up yesterday (though was still about 4 spots ahead of Randy Foye). I would think he should be able to fit in well with the Knicks offense, but only if he can stay on D'Antoni's good side.

    Jamal Crawford was sure a disappointment for owners expecting a big game. What's your take on his role coming into the new offense?
