    Dress rehearsal. Everybody look sharp. Season starts next week
    At least we get Prigs and Nene back. Would like to see Prigs, Nene and Gordon with 2nd group and see how they do

    Just preseason. Don't have to eat their children. But by all means. Feast.

    Rockets jump out to another early 1st quarter lead from mostly threes. Rockets win.

    Who cares if Popovich rests his starters, or not. The Rockets need to play their starters to keep the chemistry going.

    Spurs haven't allowed over 100 points yet, so I'm interested to see how we fare offensively.

    This should be the real test. Forget the docile Sharks and some Pelicans or Knicks.

    If we can play well here and get the W, that should boost the confidence of the team much more than all other wins combined.

    FIFY :D

    Although, i'm sure Memphis was a test as well - didnt watch the game so not sure if the key players were playing.

    I feel good about this team but somehow playing at their home for the opener = lost. However, I will be jumping out of my pants in joy if we pull out the win!!

    Interested in seeing who D'Antoni plays. I wonder if he's already penciled in his 15 or if he's gonna run the gamut for the final few who he's debating (if he's debating). Would like to see Weltjer more.

    While I get this, I was hoping for some sort of real test. we'll just have to wait a bit longer.
