Nice thread.

Lots of good TV today.

1.) NFL
2.) Magic-Hornets
3.) Rockets-Cavs
4.) Dexter
5.) Mad Men
6.) Boardwalk Empire

As for the game, Yao won't play, since it's a back to back game, so we'll likely see a lot of Jordan Hill out there, which I'm looking forward to.

I still wish they woudn't ask Courtney to create as much. Just let him to move the ball. Creating of iso's, handoffs or pick&rolls are not his strength. Playing off the ball, coming off screens, spotting up and scoring in transition is what he excels at.
The same goes for Kevin Martin really, who looked better than against the Spurs, though still has a lot of Corey Maggette in him. "If there's nothing there, would you please move the ball"/Hubie Brown voice.

Yesterday's game was a step in the right direction, but there's still a lot to work on.

Looking forward to finally getting to see a preseason game! Travelling has been a real pain in the ass lately.

Dreamshook - great thread, and great call on Alison Brie! :D

The reality is that good sp ortsmanship goes a long way whenever you're dealing with the referees, who wear a "zebra-like" uniform.

Of course, today's referees can be absolutely terrible and deliberately make horrible calls, that it's a miracle society will let them breathe free and easy.

Chuck Hayes has better perimeter defense than most of our back court guys

Yao has a nice looking suit as usual. What is that Brad Miller's wearing? A polo over a suit? Is that even allowed under the dress guidelines? lol
