Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Game Thread: Russia vs. United States- 9/9/10

Good morning, saltpeters. Today is a special day, for the Knicks are playing on national TV. Well, I should rephrase that. A Knick is playing on national TV, and I'm all kinds of excited. At 11 AM EST, Timofey Mozgov and Russia will face the US National team in a quarterfinal elimination game on ESPN. Rooting allegiances aside, this is an excellent opportunity to catch this summer's foreign free agent acquisition at work against NBA talent, particularly for those of us who don't have ESPN3 or haven't seen much of Mozgov so far.

If you're lucky enough to be free to watch basketball on a Thursday morning, this is your spot to comment along. If you're at work, in class, or mired in knee-deep quicksand with only your laptop in reach and an internet connection that isn't quite fast enough to stream video but is just fast enough to refresh P&T, you can keep up with the game in the comments.

Crush them, Timofey.

Well, I'm a hopeless sucker for Patriotism.

I could never root against USA. But still, Mosgov “must break” something. Hopefully it will be a backboard. I’m rooting for him to have a monster game, but hopefully his team falls just short.

They will be for!

yeah, i know

I hope mosgov puts up 40 but they lose. I hope he gets 5 blocks 14 rebounds. Destruction, but with a loss.

thanks for the reminder!

i knew i wanted to watch this but nearly forgot about it. Timofey’s about to get all Ivan Drago up in this bitch.

(yes, he will kill Russell Westbrook with a single blow, but somehow Kevin Love will defeat him in an epic 15-round boxing match. what impact this has on basketball, i dunno.)

lots of screens. he’s looking to catch the ball and score on every halfcourt possession. haven’t seen him run the floor much. also, he’s getting switched to the top a lot on defense.

pretty aggresive

but controlled. his picks are sharp. got called for a moving pick but it was just a stick your shoulder out call.

very quick. sets picks past the 3pt line and is in the paint seconds later.

yes, very very good

haven’t seen the finale yet though, waiting for it to hit Hulu. anyway, what’s your take on the latest message board drama regarding the “Bully” and “God” episodes?

cliffs: the lady Louie took out on a date in “Bully” played his mom in the 70s for “God.” fans and critics say, dude, get some continuity. CK himself gets on message boards and writes huge essays about how each story should be viewed individually and that people shouldn’t bitch about him challenging their expectation of continuity. very interesting.

honestly, i didn't notice enough to get distracted

but a lot of people did, and there are a lot of good arguments against Louie’s artistic choice there.

either way, it’s crazy that Louie has defended himself on multiple message boards – imagine if Al Harrington got on P&T and took us to task for ripping him!

mozgov is gonna play when the team needs a new look.

if you need to foul the shit out of someone, throw mozgov in there. getting beat by a bigger guy down low, put mozgov out there.

i can definitely imagine a scenario where turiaf and mozgov sort of platoon 30-35 minutes a game. and anthony randolph and amar’e get the swing minutes at the 5. there’s always curry, but there’s never curry.

but really

- lots and lots of picks. he never stands still, and if the guards don’t find him, he does work off the ball.
- pretty solid hands and finishing ability, even with contact.
- splendid help defense and recoveries when he’s been beat.
- commitment to boxing out, but not as much lift or muscle getting to rebounds as you’d like to see.
