    Darn, our best player is almost invisible while guys like LeBron, Dwight Howard, and Kevin Durant are playing hard and putting up big numbers.

    DARN!

    Worthy of notice? Yes

    Worthy of concern? Not Yet

    Worthy of Panic (OT)? Hardly....

    Better trade the whole team and blow it up one pre-season game before the season then.

    Faulty premise:
    http://www.google.com/search?client...e but "it's just preseason"&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

    Spurs won a "great game", but "It's just preseason".
    Orlando won by 54, but "it's just preseason"
    Colts won, but "it's just preseason"
    GSW won, but "it's just preseason"
    Football, hockey, basketball, all on the first page.

    Win or lose, crappy or great, it's just preseason. Except for injuries. Those carry over.

    On a side note, since you don't think Brandon can "turn it on", what are you predicting his first game stats will be? What will make it a successful "switch" for you? A win where he scores 10 points? A loss where he scores 40? A triple double? A 20/5/5 game like his average season? Or the 17/5/4 he averaged last Oct/Nov? Or the 25/8/3 he averaged against PHX last year?

    There is no question that we all have at least some concern about the injuries up front. No doubt it effects the start of the season. However the rest does not concern me because I have not seen a game yet. I can only go by the boxscore, and that said........ alot of players played, that won't in the regular season.

    I would LOVE to comment on our team and their chemistry, but NONE OF OUR GAMES HAVE BEEN TELEVISED!

    That is what has been making me wonder. Folks are posting like they watched the game or something. Unless it was a home game and you went, good luck with that.

    Yeah, you can't garner much from the radio or a box score on ESPN.

    Maybe they have "inside" sources.

    The only "inside source" we have is the Oregonian. We're all screwed...

    Is "inside sources" slang for "voices in their head"?
