    I want to see more of Conroy. Talk about immediate impact: penetration ability, that steal on Nelson, a nice floater, and a sweet dish to Pops. All in the last three minutes of the game.

    vs.

    Rockets garbage time Bench

    you are desperate to win a game at home.

    Dun know about that. The bench players did want to win it but the resources are somewhat limited.

    It would just a little embarrassing to lose to the Rockets junior squad at home.

    They never beat the Rockets in the regular season, so you know.. he needs to show everyone that they can at least take them in the preseason.. even it if it means taking desperate measures.

    They won't beat us this season in the regular season... we'll be 2-0.

    Great showing by Taylor, Budinger, Andersen for the most part.

    great last minute effort by Conroy.

    Yeah SVG was in playoff mode jumping up the bench to call a play in the last minute of the game lol. This is the preseason after all no big deal as long as the team keeps improving.

    The SVG who at the 2 minute mark made the game last 5 minutes longer with all the fouling to punish us.

    I hate him.

    I still remember last year when Orlando was down by double figures with 50 seconds to go.. He used all his timeouts and fouled.. the 50 seconds turned out to be 20 minutes in real time and still llost.. doesn't surprise me that he kept in his starters in a preseason game..

    At last, a loss. Why "at last"? Well...
    <ol>
    <li>People tend to learn more from failure than success.
    <li>It may just be my perception, but it seems to me the teams that fare better in the regular season, don't do so well in the preseason. However, I have no numbers to back that up.
    </ol>
    Thoughts?

    Would you trade one of Scola/Landry and change for Gortat?

    Trading Scola for Gortat would be idiotic...

    I agree that these refs suck, I'm beginning to think no refs call can a game fairly, the replacement or the normal ones.
