Keys to the game.
1.) Flynn needs to look like a star
2.) Brewer/Gomes need to be functional NBA offensive players. Carry over from the season.
3.) Defensive/rebounding production from our Big scrubs.

Outcome? -20pts if Al is out. -7 pts if Al is in.

Both Flynn and Ellington are 'questionable' for the game. Big Al will play.

Most likely our only chance to be above .500 starts with this game. Lets go Wolves!

I don't think there is anyone on their roster who can keep up with Al on the defensive end. Him getting his and getting it early will be the key to the game. Secondary will be Brewer showing he can play offense.

Good luck from the Nets board. Sorry about your injuries, would of liked to see Yi try to bang out the rebounds with Dr. Love. But yeah, I'm talking playoffs, and you're in my way. No hard feelings. :pityfool:

I think a lot of teams will find the Wolves won't be a pushover this year and the wins won't be as easy to come by, may have to work a little.

When we got into a situation where The White Hole will be playing major minutes on the front line. Lopez may as well be Kareem in comparison.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Who here is going? Me and Funkatron bought a 10-pack and they gave us this game for free. Of course they're giving it away to everyone, lol.

I always love home openers. Too bad we're all banged up.

So who's starting at SF and PF? I figure Ryan Gomes slots into one of those spots, right? I wonder how effective CDR (he's starting at SF for the Nets) would play against a Ryan Gomes...

If Flynn and Ellington (two guys I want to see most) are out, then starting lineup is likely: Sessions, Brewer, Gomes, Jefferson, and Hollins. Of course could be Sessions, Wilkins, Brewer, Gomes, and Jefferson.

Wow, The first game! ... this match will be in Spain at 01:00AM but I will watch it, because somebody accustomed to watch good PG's must watch this game for write here about Flynn after the game.

An remember this, don't begin to say "Flynn is a All Star" if Johnny got 15 points. OK? Let him work. :wavefinger:
