8pm FSN

The wait is over. Can't wait to see how the guys are on the court. Starting line-up, bench guys.

About damn time.

It'll be interesting to see how much we play the starters versus the bench guys and whether or not we're playing of the no name guys who might be fighting for the 15th roster spot (who knows what is going on with Beasley at this point).

Also interesting to see how Ausar + Holland shoot and home does Ivey look coming off that injury. I know he was essentially back to full contact 5 on 5 around the time we lost in the playoffs to NY so he's really had a long time to get back into game speed over the summer.

[MortSahlfan]

Maybe we play more since we're young, and since we only have 4 pre-season games.

Just as an FYI, Ivey in an interview said that the team is treating preseason games as real games, so I expect to see some intensity out there. Also, I didn't see anyone talking about it, but Holland changing his number to 5, so him and Ausar can be 9-5 is absolutely amazing.

When he changed his number, I thought "There goes Beasley".

Yeah, that's what I thought as well, BUT, we'll see. I have SCOURED the net for any kind of inkling on his situation, and came up with nothing. Its gone dark. NBA taking their sweet ass time in clearing him, thats for sure.

Thanks for the correction - don't know how on Earth I made that mistake.

Probably because it would've been 7 ET if it were a home game. Memphis is in CT, so games there start an hour later.

Something to watch while you wait

We’re all in preseason form

[MortSahlfan]

Although he won't be doing the game tonight, this will be Blaha's 50th season. I have a feeling this will be his last year. I hope not, but that official 50....

[Uncle Mxy]

Winning a title would be a fine way to cap off 50 years. No pressure.

Why isn't Duren playing?

Hamstring tightness apparently

Nice spurt here. Ivey looks less explosive but it might be a combo of rust, offseason rust and saving himself

[ComboGuardCity]

Glad Tobias is telling Paul to pass that. No more Reed dribbles up the court, not even in preseason

[ComboGuardCity]

Being up to 10 at half is insane. Only concerning thing for me is Ivey’s lack of burst

50 in the 2nd after giving up 42 in the 1st. Wild.
