Charlotte @ Detroit 7pm (Preseason Game1)

First look at the team and LCA but just glad to have some ball back. Most interested to see Avery Bradley and see if Johnson looks improved at all seeing as we will need him.

By the way I love how our arena looks. It really is like the fans are right over top of the court with how steep the seating is. Will be a awesome place to play in front of a full house as it will be very loud there.

I like all the moves we made and still have very little interest in this team this year. Not sure why, feels like even if we win 45 games we will be raped int he playoffs for the next couple years. Just really tired of the super teams I guess.

We need to see somebody really step it up. We still have a youngish roster but we need AllStar caliber players. Who knows though maybe the team matures a bit this year and can have a good year to at least raise some trade value if nothing else.

Honestly though if they can't at least be a 7th seed then this whole SVG experiment better be over. They can have a good series against anyone but Cleveland in the East though if they get in which would hopefully raise some morale around here.

We are doomed, I signed LP and will try to watch all the games this season, whenever I watch games we lose...

Wouldn't expect the starters to get much burn for a couple games.

just judging what other teams are doing, starters are getting like 12-18ish minutes.

Show me something that makes me hopeful. 'More fun to watch' would be a good formula. I'll be on the road and will have to rely on reporting.

I'll be at the game tonight. I picked some free tickets. It'll be my first time at the new stadium so I'm extra pumped.

Really jealous of those going! Per Vince Ellis on twitter the starters will be Ish Avery Stan Tobias and Andre. Sounds like no Reggie because of a groin tweak.

Cool. Give us a report on the arena. And keep your ticket - first ever basketball game at an arena.
