I wonder if Landry starting will be a permanent fixture, he's looked good though.

I wonder how many minutes our big guns play today, it'd be nice to see Mac and Yao keep up that play from the Celtics game. Hopefully Brooks can show something, otherwise Barry would be our only option at backup PG (though Francis is still there too).

Yeah I know, I was just wondering if us starting Landry would be something we'd really look at.

an article on chron.com saying Adelman did it to see how Landry would matchup against Garnett
another reason why Landry aint playing in the 2nd game is because Duncan aint playing

I hope Landry is not a permanent fixture at PF. Scola is best suited for us to start. As for tonight's game I would like for Adelman to play his bench more, particularly Brooks, Wafer, and Strawberry. We have to find out now if Brooks can run an offense, and agaisnt the Thunder he should have no problem doing it.

I know it's preseason and all, but why are we the home team?

Artest is playing extremely well in the post, but three wide open misses from downtown. Yao's been playing awesome too, getting boards and good position (besides that one jumpshot).

Barry is playing really well, hes such a good passer. AB starting really well too.. Strawberry can finish attacking the rim unlike luther head

Brooks looks like a monster tonight..

Getting better. Hopefully he can be average during the regular season.

Strawberry is also looking good.
