***THIS GAME IS ON NBATV***

If you have NBATV, congratulations, you can watch the game in HD in your big screen TV. Everyone else, there should be some good pie in the first row.

Cody and Roberts are out. Lamb and Frank are questionable.

What I am looking for tonight
- the starting unit on both sides. The starters have not been good so far this year - MKG, Roy have started all 4 games, both have dreadful +/- so far.
- MKG 3pt attempts. Gotta take em to make em.
- Marvin 1-for-14 so far from 3
- Frank staying aggressive on offense
- Lamb and Hawes continuing strong preseason.
- No injuries
- Wood go to move? Does he have a way to score outside of dunks?

Chicago's clogged offense is an ideal matchup for Roy.

Yup. These kinds of games are the ones where Hibbert should be playing 30mpg at least

What?!? Kemba just pulled up from 3 off the dribble from 30 feet with 20 seconds on shot clock. Wow. At least he made it.

We've had so many of those lazy turnovers at the top of the perimeter this preseason. Gotta clean that up.

God Damn, Lopez just embarrassed MKG. That 2nd block was probably clean. OMG, poor MKG.

you could definitely argue the 1st Lopez block was goaltending.

No debate as to who is the better center between Lopez and Roy. Lopez looks fantastic so far.

Wish Hibbert would do something.

Kemba feeling is so far, his shot looks good, definitely a step quicker than the other games in the preseason.

Telling that MKG is defending Wade with Batum on Butler. I think in cases where teams have two good offensive wings, it will be MKG taking the smaller/quicker of the two, with Batum taking the bigger. Kinda odd since the team insists on calling Batum the SG and MKG the SF.

Reluctantly though.
