Tonight @ Anaheim. It's actually on TV, too. TNT. 8:00 MT.

The rematch is tomorrow on ESPN at 8:30 MT. Pretty damn random.

That's pretty (Please Use More Appropriate Word), but I'm not complaining. I wonder now, with the roster set, if they'll treat it like a pretty regular game. If so, we better **** win! Ha.

I imagine they'll try to limit some of the older guys (Chauncey/K-Mart). AC is old too, but I meant old guys that matter. No reason to drain their legs before games matter.

Please, George. Give the rookie some run. We might need him at some point this season, if (knock on wood), we lose a PG for a period of time due to injury. This game is meaningless. Great chance to give the young guy some time against quality opponents. If not now, when?

It'll be interesting to see AA guard Kobe, and Graham act like he can. Artest is supposed to be the Melo stopper for them, so we'll see how that plays out.

If we don't see much of JR tonight, I would venture to say that you would be correct.

What scrub will standout the most tonight and win the SG spot. It won't be Afflalo or JR, so it comes down to Graham and Carter. I don't think you can go wrong with either guy. Heck, split that 48 minutes in half for the both of them and let the rest of the team fight it out for whatever Balkman type minutes are left.

Joey Graham is literally our starting 2. Good lord.

Like you didn't see that coming :lol:

The Nuggets have two young SG's playing behind 2 journeyman that play out of position.

Graham might be worse than Jones... He looks pitiful.

2 on 1, Melo right next to him, he goes right at it without even looking at Melo. Hopefully Graham will be in a suit (13th guy) come Oct 28th. AA doesn't look that sharp either. He knocked down the usual 3 he makes from the corner, but I guess you can't really judge how he's playing tonight, because he's going up against Bryant.

OMFG AC and Graham are ****.

Why does Karl always utilize scrubs.

Yeah that was pretty bad. Hopefully we don't see that in the regular season. No reason why Melo shouldn't receive that pass for the layup. Maybe Karl just likes players that charge into people. Kleiza did it all the time.

Carter/Afflalo is not a good combo. I like Afflalo but he mishandles the ball a little bit.

Hopefully Afflalo keeps doing well and AC keeps attemtping to pass it to him.

X300 If this team was trying to find a replacement for Dahntay this play would be as close to the original product as you could get. 2 on 1 fast break with Derek Fisher under the bucket, Graham seals off his own player to go in with his head down to pick up the offensive foul. I thought it was a flashback from last year.

Graham almost looks too serious though.

That's true, at least he doesn't giggle like DJ did every time.

If that's what Kobe has to do to elude Martin we're in good shape.

Why is JR not playing?

GK is/has set his rotation for the first seven games. What you see is what you get :lol:
