The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Knicks 111-91 in the finale of the Vegas Summer League. With the loss the Knicks finished with a 2-3 record.  Anthony Roberson was the lone bright spot leading the team with 23 pts on 9 of 18 shooting. Wilson Chandler had a quiet night scoring only 4 points in 15 minutes of play.

As Tommy Dee pointed out, the steam from the week was taken away with the injury to Gallinari. Unless your looking foward to the Olympics, this will be the last competitive basketball until training camp. Overall you have to be pleased with the performance of Wilson Chandler. See you in October guys.

The Charlotte Bobcats easily handled the Knicks on Saturday 103-71. The Knicks are now 2-2 in the Vegas summer league. Some game notes:

- Wilson Chandler continued his on again/off again performance with a 5 for 13, 10pt, 9 rebound performance.

- Mardy Collins and Nate Robinson combined to shoot 2 for 16, but still scored 20 pts thanks to 18 free throws.

- Anthony Roberson had his first lousy outing of the summer scoring only 4 points on 2 for 9 shooting.

Anthony Roberson, who had a 22 points in his summer league debut, was signed to a 2-year contract last night by the Knicks. The Knicks now have 16 guaranteed contracts, one over the league maximum. Marc Berman speculates that this could mean the end of Stephon Marbury, or possibly Jerome James.

Roberson looked good against Cleveland, but I have to admit I know very little about him. I mentioned how the Knicks couldn’t sign him because of the lack of an opening, but clearly I was wrong. Some have compared him to Jannero Pargo or Eddie House. I get the sense this is a player that could thrive in the D’Antoni System. I will watch him more closely against San Antonio and give everyone a report to see where he fits.
