Yes sir.

I expect Adelman to play his starters the first 2 quarters, and play his backups the rest.

Unlikely judging from the past years. But I would still check in case they changed it.

preseason and 1st week of regular season are always free
unless they try to something different this season

Dont expect T-Mac to play tomorrow.

That's a good thing cause I dont want him to get injured in meaningless games.

MaxRider · Post #9 » by **MaxRider** » Tue Oct 7, 2008 4:52 am

no T-Mac mean more playing time for Strawberry and Wafer
let see if Head can outplay them both

someone on CF posted a rumor that Harris will go to China for CBA league in October
which mean he will be cut

maybe cause we got too many PF
and SF is actually stacked with Artest, Battier

I feel confident without Tmac for the 1st time because we have RON ARTEST. Very funny but we got a 3rd superstar now.

Free=yes. On=Maybe, but likely NOT where I live (unless you are referring to web, not tv).

That's the second most frustrating thing to me about NBA League Pass. I buy it every year, but the pre-season is mostly NOT shown (whether you've bought it or not - its just not on - at least where I'm located).

The MOST frustrating thing about NBA League Pass? That NONE of the games on it are delivered in HD.

Oh well, at least the price went down dramatically for it this year.

MaxRider · Post #17 » by **MaxRider** » Tue Oct 7, 2008 6:59 pm

in the past 2 preseason all i do i open the nba league pass link and copy and paste the asx link in wmp to play them
i'll post here if i got that same method working again this year

I vote we move the game up to 4.

IT'S LIKE FREAKING CHRISTMAS

Joel Embust · Post #19 » by **Joel Embust** » Tue Oct 7, 2008 7:57 pm

Are the Rockets planning on playing Alston, Artest, Scola and Ming today?

Yao21 · Post #20 » by **Yao21** » Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:00 pm

Does anyone know where I can watch the game streamed online for free?
