No game thread yet and its 1pm first game of the year. Disappointed in you all.

The Hornets have an interesting, potentially fun team to watch this year. All the roster uncertainty is going to add to the drama at the start of the season. And I have no love lost for the Pistons and Stan van gut Gundy.

Question: what is Marcus Paige's status at the beginning of the season? I assume that the same number of guys can suit up every night as before, which leaves him in the stands.

In the past seasons I've watched the games on some time warner cable channel in the 300's named like the special event channel or something. Anyone know if this channel is gonna be showing the games again this season?

So we're officially going with Lamb and Bacon on the wings? Glad Clifford realized that Dwight/Frank/Marvin up front wasn't working.

For anyone who cares, I've been doing a lot of DFS since NFL started, including a lot of research. I cant believe I researched NBA preseason games. Anyway my plays for tonight:

Rubio (like him a lot this year in terms of stats)
Jalen Brown (too cheap not to play)
Taureen Prince (lots of minutes and usage, dallas D is abysmal)
Jason Tatum (again too cheap and C's are super thin on front court)
Dwight Howard (just so I can root for someone during the game, but I like his matchup here)
Evan Turner (CJ out, Phoenix doesn't care about D)
Anthony Davis
J. Nurkic (great preseason, Phoenix doesn't care about D)

I forgot the Pistons are opening a brand new arena, damnit. I don't feel so confident for tonight now.

I heard Eric Collins had a great offseason. Can't wait to hear what he has in store for us.
