Lets go young boys, time to get it in.

I'm more interested to see the system, or the vanilla version of what we'll be doing on offense and how Lopez and Lin will be used.

im interested in the young guys and the hunger and passion they do or dont show.

not really interest in the vets, the result, the box score. not what preseason is about. and no need ot knee jerk if lopez takes 8 threes or doesnt take any or if bogs drops 40 or goes 1-12.

yeah i agree, I don't care for that either. I just want to see how the first unit looks, and then see what the young guys bring

Hey calm down folks, preseason is more about testing the young ones and working out how the team should work with one another. So let the experiments begin. Wake me up when the regular season starts, I will try to track some performance stats and update whenever I am able to....

Ha, I remember that game too well....Lin actually had a great preseason and Charlotte only lost 1 game..You could tell they had the making of a good team during these preseason games...The only mistake was Clifford not starting Lin and going with PJ after MKG went down.

As for the argument of how long to play Lin and the other starters + roles players...I'm all for playing them for as long as possible because they need to gel, specially the starting 5 which looks very unbalanced....They need to figure out how they will score with only 1 good shooters.

Also, Lin and Lopez needs to quickly build chemistry before season start and these preseason games could help a lot...I don't think Lin should play 15mpg...more like 25-28mpg so to get ready.

Does anyone know of a way to watch a game other than YES? I heard nba-stream.com might be streaming it.

It's finally here! I'm so geek'd to watch this team. I'm keeping all expectations to a minimum though. I know there will be some bad nights with this team, but based on the potential of the youth movement and the expirenced veterans I expect to see progression. I don't think that's too much to ask for. Just play respectable basketball and I will be happy. Noone is giving this squad any love, understandably so, but I for one expect them to be better than forecasted.

I just want to see team basketball, A+ effort, a commitment to defense, young player improvement and 4 qtrs of competition. Wins will be a bonus. If and when we lose games, I want to chalk it up to talent disparity and inexperience, and NOT effort.

Good take. I agree 100%.
