    Hmmmm, I'm not necessarily happy about this. I thought MDA said that he wanted to use the last 2 preseason games to get the starters ready and work out his rotations. But based off the last game and now siting these guys for this game, it seems that he feels that isn't necessary. While I would love to see how we match up at least at start of the quarters with San Antonio's starters, I guess I will trust MDA if he thinks that we don't need to, or he wants to rest the guys, or he wants to avoid any injuries before the beginning of the season next week. But I'm definitely not as excited about tonight's game (I know it's still preseason), but I will be watching to see who probably gets cut.

    Maybe he thinks the starters ARE ready?

    He's trying to narrow down to 15 and figure who'll be in rotation. Looking at Ennis, Payton, Weltjer, prigs.

    I'm curious to see Pablo Diablo and Nene running P&R's
    No real shooters/scorers in this game except Anderson and WIltjer?
    Maybe we'll see some Bobby Brown action?
    I've seen enough of Ennis and GPII to know that they are easily replaceable (Hello, Norris Cole?)

    Nice try sneaky lil Moorey, I see what your doing. Give ball to Anderson, let him score 50Plus. Then trade Anderson+bench for Aldridge.

    Saw him (GP II) in Summer League and limited action in preseason.
    There is a reason he has been limited. He has no J and no real game to offer that I've seen
    I'm guessing Coach sees it too or else he'd be trotting him out there instead of a 38 y/o Pablo.
    He's got Nick Johnson written all over him. And where is HE again?

    Nothing against the kid, would love to see ALL of them make the squad and
    fulfill their dreams. But only so many make the cut.

    i thought are main rotation guys looked disappointed vs dallas. way too many sloppy turnovers. would have liked to see them play at least the 1st Q tonight with the offense running more smoothly

    Hope Prigioni plays or its going to get ugly. 38 year old Pablo is going to be alot more valuable than most think when Hardens not on the court.

    Hopefully Sewer has another 50 game which makes someone dumb enough to trade for him.
