    ....you know, it took me a moment to remember that. And you're right.

    Huh. I actually thought Millsap knocked Collins around with his physicality. Then I remembered that Collins has him beat on length and speed.

    It will be fine when he gets to play in the 4th because we are up 20.

    OT but I listened to your podcast couple days ago...well done! Dustin seems like he's going to need a win tonight to get the confidence back...I agree with you about preseason games completely

    I'd like to see load management translate to blowout wins this season...best case scenario for getting a strong bench going

    I didn't even realize tonight was our first game until this morning. That was a close one.

    This game will never start on time on ESPN. I am on the east coast tonight and the game is suppose to start at 10PM. Boston-Philly is at a standstill

    I really don't see us as a better team, but a different team. As there will be a lot of issues playing together and getting rotations down.... I wouldn't be surprised to see us under .500 mid way and then come on strong at the end of the season. That said, we have good talent and if it all gels together, we have the overall talent to go a ways.

    Plus Dame wants to address the crowd, plus it's our 50th season and what that will mean, plus plus plus. I'll tune in every 10 minutes starting at 7:30. Wouldn't be surprised to start the game after 8.

    Nice shirt on the seats tonight. I like the black. I’ve got too many red Blazer shirts.

    I’m excited to see all these new faces in Blazer uniforms.

    after watching games last night and the early games tonight....

    what would be the over/under on the number of Blazer turnovers? I'd guess 18

    There have been so many fouls called on both Philly and Boston. It's like 2 teams full of Zach Collins playing basketball.
