With Batum and Wright injured, who starts at SF? I'd like to see Claver start, preferably a more aggressive, better shooting Claver actually...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Good news is by making this thread before it actually happened, you have guaranteed that the game will happen.

I Think I've found something more annoying than LMA and Nic's unassertiveness -- watching Barton drive/shoot with his eyes closed. And he does that every time he touches the ball.

 

[MickZagger]

No tv of any kind?

 

[THE HCP]

No tv son.

What kind of shammy little outfit do you work for?

 

[MickZagger]

I found a stream on one of my websites I pirate the games from. Apparently someone's broadcasting it somewhere.

 

[illmatic99]

Ya pretty sure that's gonna be the in house stream on the big screen. I think international league pass gets all these preseason games, but i still can't locate it. Hit me with PM, MickZagger!
