Well I played last night and I wore my new knee braces and I'm not sure about them. Here are a couple of things I noticed:

My knees were sweating firecely. I was wearing addidas long pants but these things were REALLY warm.
I like my patellar straps tight and the brace on my left kneeseemed to fit fine but the exact same size on my right knee seemed way too big. I don't think my legs are that differently sized.
My left knee seemed fine through all six games.
My right knee started to ache a little bit in game 5 and beyond
I'm walking around fine all day today and only my right knee is bothering my a little.

I'm going to try them again the next time I play. I'm also going to try to switch the braces to make sure that they are the same size even though they are both labeled L. I'm also going to try to make sure I'm putting them on the same way on both legs.

While wearing them, I did notice a few things. They are a little bulky but didn't seem to impact my playing in any negative way. At one point I sprinted after a ball and felt no knee pain whatsoever. I was playing middle and did a lot of jumping and really didn't get all that sore.

The biggest indicator I normally use to see how sore my knees are is the morning after when I walk down my first flight of stairs. This morning's walk didn't really stick out in my mind so either my knees are getting better or these straps are pretty good.
