ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 10/24/2014 (PRESEASON)

PLAY THE STARTERS

Last game to get the chemistry put together against other team competition. They get plenty of days off to rest- play them full on game so they can adjust to gameshape now

 

Nah, there's still one more preseason game next week

 

I think I see what you did there.

 

So this won't be blacked out on NBA TV?

 

Watch us **** around and lose to the Lakers on opening night. The Lakers always play out of their mind on national TV, remember they blew out the Cippers on opening night last year?

Lin is going to try extra hard and Kobe will chuck a bunch of shots. If he gets hot... let's just say I'm not as confident about that game as I should be.

As for this game, I'd like to see the starters get heavy minutes at least through three quarters. We need some time with the full rotation playing together.

Back-up center depth is a big worry this season. sigh

 

^^ Oh yay

 

and so it begins..

 

Great start to the season lol.

 

Sweep starts tonight

 

Smokescreen. They clearly are using the last game as a Black/Dorsey tryout.

 

What channel will the game be on now?

 

Still on CSN. The channel still exists, but pretty much all of the programming is gone.

 

perhaps….i don't think they can fabricate dwight getting stitches on his arm though :grin:

 

Yeah, you don't have to hide anything. They could just say rest like the others that he has missed in the preseason.

 

Dang the starters have only played like 2 games together. Op night is gonna look sloppy

 

in a regular season game, you'd just wear some sort of padding over the cut
