GT Preseason Game #5 Vs Pistons Oct 20 7:30PM 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:01 pm

game should be televised by detroit so check league pass for the game or get seats in the front row.

we have had a lot of practice time between games in the past week. it would be nice to see some progression on both sides of the ball tonight.

its about that time for dunlap to start figuring out his preferred starters and rotation.

who gets the start tonight at point guard? kemba sat out last game, so it my guess is he will start. i'd really like to see kemba, hendo, mkg, mully and haywood get the start and all play 25+ tonight.

which drummond will we see tonight? the one who had 19/10 or the one who picked up 5 fouls in less than 10 minutes?

does gordon go off on his old team tonight?

If we can score at least 17+ points in each quarter I will consider it a win :P

Kemba with some nice assists but the iron unkind with a in and out 3 and a point blank lay up botched.

Tyrus trying to lead the league in charges, I swear he looks like he played for Coach K.

Everyone else: worthless.

Haywood just swatted a shot towards South America

Kemba looks like the energizer bunny out there.

absolutely, I can see October 20 being known as the day that Higgins breaks out.

Kemba's court vision looks better than I can remember. Couple of nice assist & a couple where Haywood couldn't finish.

Maybe he's just being saved for when the games actually count. :-?

It's weird, for a #2 pick he doesn't get hardly any burn.

Edit for Fats: Mully sitting out, precautionary, knee.

MKG, couldn't tell you. Very sporadic sub patterns.

Starting to wonder if Gilchrist will even be an opening day starter. Dunlap has not played him nearly enough minutes.

Tyrus looked pretty decent. He's rebounding, blocking shots, & staying active on the offensive end.
