It sure is a better starting lineup than it was last Spring, eh?

It will be interesting to see if our version of the twin towers is able to impose itself on the modern NBA and Cuz is able to fit seamlessly at the 4

Jason Jones said Eric Moreland might get a look tonight because he played in school in Oregon. Whereas I fear Moreland might look better in camp than our draft pick if he's out of condition.

Eavesdropping on this game, as I want to get a glimpse of the Kings chemistry early on. I have to say, there's a lot of length/size with that starting lineup!

So... we look terrible so far. They seem to be rushing everything, and they're turning the ball over a lot. We may be lacking spacing too.

The floor looks more open with three shooters on the court instead of two.

You would like Cuz to be able to start with Koufos who is our second best big, but it just may not fit

Willie Cauley-Stein looks nice around the rim.

We're drawing lots of fouls. That's good.

Now we're playing a four shooter lineup. Let's see how this goes.

We need Collison to buy into the back up role

Rudy Gay is getting old.

This is the year Ben is going to improve or he's not. Make or break year. No more invisibility

We look like that that's only returning 5 players. I don't like Boogie and KK starting against athletic/mobile 4's. It just ain't gonna work. Trill was looking lost at time, but made a few nice plays. Man Bellineli may have been our best signing. I look forward to him knocking down some big 3's.

The spacing will get better over time. It better, because it hasn't looked go so far. Rudy Rudy Rudy...please pass the ball.

Not watching the game but some folks on other sites are taking exception to Rajon's D. Lillard is a top 3 offensive PG so I guess I will have to wait to see him live. I hope he can still bring it

The good news is that the score isn't out of reach.

So, is the lack of shooting looking like a concern already?

Defense is also a concern. Portland is scoring so easily.
