I know it is only a preseason game, but Dike is really a pleasently surprise. We have a pretty deep bench. However, our offense has a long way to go.

Good call. I was going to say Mobley. But you're right. He does put his head down like Drexler. I like the way he protects the ball when he drives. Kinds reminds me of Tony Delk too.

One thing I was thinking about... The Kings didn't go through a complete team overhaul like we did. Our players are just beginning to learn each others' game, and the Kings aren't. Yet we still won. I know it's only preseason, but I will be keeping this in mind as we begin the regular season. -- droxford
Are you serious? Why does Nachbar get a spot and not him? Nachbar's running out of chances and Hawkins is making the best of his.
Bowen played pretty good defence. Nachbar just cant buy a basket. Hawkin=poor man's artest(no defence)?
I figured out the picture NUMBER algorithm (calculation, etc.) on the photos... Try changing the last 2 numbers for each page here: http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/p/2004-10-14/20381194840.shtml then http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/p/2004-10-14/20381194841.shtml and so on... Or just http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/2002-2003NBA/photo/7291/index.shtml is FINE.
I hate to say it - but I agree. Boki has lots of energy, but we need a guy who can at least occasionally hit a basket... It's too bad, I like Boki.
Definitely only pre-season. We beat sacramento twice in pre-season only to be whupped up on during regular season. I have high hopes for this team but we definitely need to let them become accustomed to one another first. I believe we'll start out slow but finish strong.
