The wait is over, the season is upon us.

I’m excited to see how the rotation looks and how the minutes are distributed now that games count.

It’s easy and understandable to be pessimistic but let enjoy some basketball and welcome in the new season!!!!

Probably a loss, but It should be a close game and a good fight.

Eh, projected mediocrity aside, its tough not to be at least a little excited.

I'm fairly curious how the Pacers will look too. That team underwent some changes this offseason.

With back to back games I'm guessing Blake won't be there for the first game, maybe more. If so it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the team comes together.

I think Blake will miss this game but I feel like we can still win this but it will be a tight close game no doubt

We have more firepower this year and length

I assume it's;

Jackson/Rose
Brown/Kennard
Snell/uhhhh..
Morris/Thon
Andre/Wood

I honestly don't know who the backup SF is.

:lol:

Lol, since I'm going it figures Blake is not even traveling with the team and looking iffy for the 2nd game here in Indy on 11-8. I probably should have expected as much.

Kieff is also listed as questionable. So we might be looking at a Thon -a- Thon. Wohoooo, good times!!!!

A Thon -a- Thon sounds terrifying

Presumably Luke gets the bulk of the wing backup minutes. Fans are always counting on a 10+ man rotation, but as a practical matter, you can't play a deep bench AND get bench guys big minutes. Luke played 22 mpg last year and I think most of us are hoping he sees more time this year. That's not even factoring in Rose. He played 27 mpg off the bench last year. There is a pretty good chance he eats into that backup 2 time. Casey seems to love those 2 pg lineups for some reason.
