Granger, and possibly Hill will be out. If we're going to break the losing streak now is the time.

Opening night at home, and they are without their best player. We might have a slight chance if our guys bring it!

If George Hill is ruled out, it will be somewhat entertaining to watch D.J. Augustin start versus his former team. I'm sure Augustin would want to show Kemba Walker up, and vice versa.

I think Hill is active tonight for their opener against Toronto, but Augustin is still starting.

fair enough. i think those 5 deserve first crack at starting. although this group has to do a better job of starting games. too many times in the preseason this core group started terribly.

dunlap confirmed he will be playing an 11 man rotation. presumably:

five starters + gordon, sessions, biz, tyrus, reggie and taylor.

Here's one that surprised me: The Pacers have won 10 straight over the #bobcats. Plenty of close ones in that span.

No Carroll and/or Higgins
:rockon:

Diop must be the 12th man, in case Haywood & Biz get into foul trouble

In the past, we've typically started alright and then get completely frozen in the third quarter. That cost us a lot of games last season and the one before. The offense and defense both go completely flat and teams just drop buckets on us while our entire defense plays like DJ.

If any of our guys are outplayed by Miles Plumlee, I might be on suicide watch.

I hope MKG gets more than 15 minutes. Even if he's terrible, let him stat pad

Would be a travesty if he didn't get more than 15 min. Im thinking 28-32.

I'm really concerned whether we will be able to keep up with other teams scoring-wise. Granted that we haven't yet seen good defense this season (heck, even the Celtics and Heat were mediocre), however, teams in the East sure do seem able to score the ball. Even the average ones.

Hibbert and West are going to kick the crap out of our weak arse bigs.
