I'll get to watch this one 'live.' Sweet.

Looking for consistency in this one.

Can JT continue to play like a 5 year vet?

Can Kemba continue to show that he just might be a PG?

Does Othella continue to give us a reason to want him at the end of our bench?

BTW - I fully expect NOT to see MKG tonight (reverse jinx).

Funny - MKG's lone outstanding performance has turned him into some sort of mythical beast with fans and the media. He came in a blinding flash of light and disappeared into the mists as quickly as he appeared. With each passing day that he doesn't see the court, his legend grows stronger! Man - I hate to see this board if he does play and lays a stinker :)

for this reason, i kinda hope MKG doesnt play. right now we only have one game to examine and it was stellar. if he doesnt play again until training camp, that gives us 2 months of positive vibes for MKG. if he does play and plays well, nothing changes. if he does play and plays poorly, then we have 2 months of listening to guys like anahiem royale telling us we made a mistake by not selecting [insert flavor of the week rookie] i'll gladly take the guaranteed 2 months of positive vibes. we need it.

It's going to be interesting to see JT defend Josh Selby who has been on an offensive tear during Summer League.

Interesting. Kemba leads SL in assists with just over 7 a game. Very good sign as far as him being our PG. Also shows that he has shown improvement in his ability to be a PG and not a scoring guard.

Hope MKG plays, but I doubt he will. I know SL doesn't mean anything, but sure wouldn't it be nice to finish 5-0?! We are getting awesome publicity, I love it. We need all the momentum we can have to carry into training camp.

Taylor has been a top 10 player in the summer league thus far. Has looked fantastic.

Pretty sure they're double sided (reversible) uniforms like most basketball practice jerseys

Since someone brought up the uni's. Why can't we give our personnel updated shirts? Why do assistants and trainers still have shirts with our old logo? How hard is it to get them some new polo's? C'mon man!

Dunlap isn't coaching tonight. Not sure who will coach in his place.

B.J. Evans ‏@BobcatsBballPR
Update @bobcats: Mike Dunlap will not coach 2nite; being inducted into Rocky Mountain Athletic Conf. Hall of Fame in Colorado, #CatsVegas.

Congrats to Coach Dunlap. I would assume Silas will coach tonight ( I think he is the only assistant with the team right now?)

Wouldn't we all! Haha. If it is Silas jr. coaching (I hope so) I will also be interest to see if the team responds the same and if there are any noticeable changes in style.
