Fancier GT's to come. I'm just doing a simple GT right now, just to get something rolling.

Good game. IMO, better than the Memphis game, because we saw a few more combinations on the floor.

The guys who are new struggle(except Kirk). I DO NOT LIKE when coaches try to win pre-season games, instead of experiment with rotations and use new players aggressively. You can try to win games with the new lineups, but it's nowhere near as important as getting the experience in. Just my opinion.

Taj should have not been brought back into the game after he tweaked his knee. Kirk should have seen less time on the floor, and Teague should have seen more action.

Camp guys, Emmett only played 3 minutes, but he looked serviceable, I was actually impressed with his sliver of playing time. Fesenko also should have played more, just for the mere fact that we need insurance and he is still young.

Random musings from the box score:

The heck was Hinrich out there for 27 minutes for? Let Teague get more experience against real talent (well...bench talent).

Robinson 1-11...LOL. This guy will truly be our new JL3.

Team as a whole shot like crap...but it's preseason, what do you expect.

Waiters looked legit in this game.

Waiters was legit indeed. He'll be an early ROTY candidate.

Nate shouldn't be a pointguard without a facilitator on the floor. He has no vision. He did look better on defense. Better placement, better footwork, better play reading. BUTLER + Nate on the floor = BAD, like REALLY BAD. Because Butler tries to cover up his teams fuckups, and Nate just causes everyone to ignore their sets on offense. Then Butler just hops between the play/set position and hobble between clearing the lane and crashing the boards. It's just as much of an issue with Butler, but if Nate communicated better, this wouldn't be a problem.

Went to the game.

Nate Robinson looked :turrible:

Benny the Bull was fantastic with the crowd tonight though. His antics were the loudest Assembly Hall got in a pretty boring game.
