    I think the starters were just taking it easy playing the Mavs. Whats the point in going all at it in preseason playing your divisions top competitor while their main guys are sitting on the bench watching your every move. We play for real in 2 weeks. No point in giving any advantages to the Little D. Hold out for the surprise element! At least I hope this..... :cool:

    I see people talkin about T MACS body language and i totally feel you guys on it........but to me its been going on a long time...............it could be me but i don't know(and this may be due to injuries and just not being on the court much together in the last few years)but i don't think T has learned how to play off YAO or a dominate big man yet.........he always seems a little out of it with yao on the court.............if you noticed in the first few pre-season games so far......when he was the focus of the offense we rolled and he was ULTRA COMFORTABLE RUNNING THE SHOW and looking like the league scoring champ/machine we all know.........

    it seems when yao is on the court.......yao is definately the focus of the offense....and t mac has to get used to deferring and playin off yao.....he is def more comfortable when he runs the offense and can make decisions with the ball in his hands........nothing to worry about to much........time and playing together will heal all that.....if not


    FIRE VAN GUNDY, BRING IN THE ZIN MASTER TO RIGHT THE SHIP....LOL :rolleyes: ;)

    I don't want him on the court tonite either, but for totally different reason: Yao have beaten him so badly in many Asian and NBA games that Yao won't be able to gain anything at all by beating him one more time.

    Hopefully the bench can continue with its improved play and Novak can keep stroking those 3s! :D

    I don't think T-mac has maximized Yao's presence on the court either. Hopefully, this season, he will mesh well together with his fellow superstar.

    I hope none of our main guys really play tonight.. there's really no point. I mean, it's the Bucks.. our bench can probably take their starters :) :D

    Put Luther and V-Span at the 1.. give Luther more exp playing the point and more time for V to adapt to the system.

    I like ppstream as well, but it's probably the most confusing client for english speakers. It's all in chinese, and ever since they reconfigured the channels by type, it's really hard to figure out where the game is. Luckily they usually have a featured link on the right side, but I'd be really intimidated with trying to figure it out if I wasn't used to it.

    Thanks to your post, I just ordered my subscription to LP for this season.

    BTW, for y'all LP Broadband lovers out there, their website is down right now. Guess for all the money they've made from us fans, NBA still can't afford a decent web server. :rolleyes:

    This game is on ch 563 on DishNetwork if you have LP.

    It's still a message screen although the schedule says it starts at 8 PM (EDT). :confused:

    You Houston local fans getting anything?
