    To clear up any confusion ... we originally did have Open Practice scheduled for noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday. We never officially announced it anywhere, but word may have gotten around.

    When we first created the schedule, the team was only supposed to have one practice that day. Rudy and CD called, and wanted to have two to get extra time in with Yao Ming before the season started.

    When the team does two practices, the first one has to be early in the morning. So we figured 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. was better for most people than early Sunday morning, and that's the time that has appeared in all of our advertising and official announcements.
