According to Scott Brooks, Byron Mullens will be starting at center tonight. Got to give Brooks credit, at least he's experimenting.
An article today in NewsOK has alluded to the fact that the starting SG spot isn't locked in either way, yet, and that Brooks does not know who will start tonight.
Should be a good one.

So is Durant basically running the point tonight?
He has 4 assists after the 1st quarter with only 3 FGA and the rest of the team combined has 1 assist

Well if anyone needed more evidence that Mullens stinks, that Serge Ibaka is not a center and Jeff Green is not a power forward this is the game for oyu.
Some wacky lineups being tested. Why isn't Brooks playing the one lineup we have available that might work? Ibaka / Aldrich should be getting some run.

So the Grizzlies missed a total of 9 shots in the first half and they had 5 offensive rebounds...
Awesome

Hopefully Mullens does not see the court again during this preseason he clearly is not ready for NBA minutes. Hopefully Scott Brooks is convinced that Ibaka should not be playing center. Hopefully Sam Presti sees that Ibaka / Green is a dumb combination.
Just a horrible game I'm happy I didn't have to watch this.

Maybe Brooks can use this as evidence for Jeff Green to prove he isn't a starter and he plays better at SF, after he trys Ibaka at PF and brings Jeff off the bench.

Byron has to be one of the most (Please Use More Appropriate Word) 7 foot athletic centres of all time.

Oh man, I can't tell you how much Im awaiting Oct 26, the start of the NBA season.
This is preseason right now and nothing really matters, its like training camp, a good opportunity to get in shape, mesh together, etc.
I dont care if we lose to Memphis or if Cole gets 6 fouls in 6 minutes, because this is not going to tell us what will happen in the regular season.
Look at Minesota, they are ubeaten so far. The Lakers are without a win, they lost 2.
Dallas is 1-3, Portland is 1-3, Atlanta is 0-3, the Nets are 3-1 and so is Washington.
You think this will happen in the regular season? Hell no!
So lets do this countdown together, its 13 days to go.

Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we are here we might as well dance!
