Chandler was awesome today.

I was impressed with how Prigioni handled himself against the US last week, but Coach K did not dial up the pressure to the same extent as he did against Brazil and the DR. Part of it is that the US did not want to expose everything they would use in Pool play, and part of it is that Prigioni’s ballhandling deterred the US from risking strong ball pressure.

Against France, I want to see how well Prigioni is able to stay in front of Parker. Specifically, can Parker get into the lane without using the PnR.

I am already certain that Prigioni will be one of the most capable 3rd string PGs in the league.

Prigioni played pretty good against USA last week. What I like about him is how he maintains his dribble at all times and does not panic at all. Very under control. Too bad as mentioned above he didnt come to the Knicks a few years ago as oppose to now when he is 35 yo.

ephus: On Prigioni, let’s wait until we see how he performs against US pressure and Tony Parker’s speed. France vs. Argentina is probably going to be the game that decides who finishes second in Pool A, and would be on Spain’s side of the draw in the medal round.

I agree. The games vs. France and Spain are probably closer to the quality of opponents he'll face as a Knick. I'll cut him some slack if he wilts a bit agains the US. I don't think most NBA point guards would shine if they were in his place playing against USA.

I like that Chandler and Melo are playing on this team. So long as they stay healthy I think they’ll both play better next year because of it. I wonder, though, if Amare isn’t stewing or getting himself twisted into knots trying not to stew.

Nice. 2 steals. I want to, but he’s 35. True PG though. Copeland I’m a little excited about.

Can we talk about Pablo Prigioni? He had 9 points today (all from downtown), 6 assists, and 1 turnover in 30 minutes of play.
