Won't be anywhere near the meltdown of epic proportions that will be over on the Raptor board, after we wipe the floor with their asses in our 2nd game of the season.

I legit don't care about the results of preseason games. I want us to not sustain any injuries, hell I hope the opposing teams stay healthy as well. Also I wanna see how Kyrie and Gordon look.

Terry's my guy. No idea if we will be able to keep him, but he's a stand-up dude and a winner as Danny put it.
Good assessment:

I think that we'll go well over the Cap in 2019-20, and keep most of the same team. Especially when and if we win the Championship.

Are you guys excited about playing in the Dean Dome to open the preseason? If I didn't live in a different timezone I would definitely be there, I think it's cool when teams play in venues other than NBA arenas for stuff like preseason games.

I'm guessing that's NC's place.

But we're from New England, we don't care about college or follow it so it's just like any other practice gym to us. Or a lot like the Summer leagues every single year.

I'd be more excited if it was in an outdoor setting for something different.

Yeah, it's where the University of NC plays their games.

I imagine since Kyrie and Tatum went to Duke playing in their rival's gym is at least somewhat exciting. I doubt the rest of the guys on your team care that much though. Anyways, I just want no one to get injured. The Hornets always seem to come out of preseason with an injury to an important player, so I hope neither team goes hard at each other.

I’m super hyped for tomorrow’s game, way more than any of those garbage finals games the past 2 seasons.

So many players to keep an eye on like damn Kyrie, Hayward, Horford, Tatum, Brown, Smart, Rozier, Theis? Crazy

It's also our first real look at Robert Williams who by now should have figured out how to use an alarm clock and show up to things on time. Probably has a babysitter from the organization watching him so his evenings go the right way.

Semi didn't look like he added anything to his game in the Summer League and he really needed to offensively to get minutes this year, here will be another look at the kid and see if his stroke comes from no where or he gets a goto move to goto the basket.

And while I don't think it's financially feasible, I am also interested to see if one of these camp recruits we brought it seemed capable enough to go back and forth from the D-league and we cut the dancing bear for someone who one day could have use for this team.

It may only be for people on this board, but it'll be very interesting to see how these depth pieces do.
