    I have to keep reminding myself that... in fact... it is just preseason and it was just the Kings and Hawks, but man oh man do we look good. Oden looks great. Roy looks amazing. Aldridge is starting to get his shot back. Bayless caught fire tonight. Rudy sat out, but he's been incredible. This team is just insane. I can't wait until opening night.

    Let's try to be subjective here... What do we need to work on? I think free-throws firstly. Anyone?

    Yup. We're seeing the potential that our depth can bring to the table. Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Bayless, Outlaw, or Webster can go off in offensive spurts. We're going to be tough to defend.

    Has Outlaw ever had a good game as a starter?

    Games or pre-season games? He had several very good starts last year when it counted... here's one

    I also recall him struggling in last years preseason... maybe it's his fall athsma issues that contribute to this?

    He usually starts out pretty slow. He needs to come off the bench though.

    The Golden State Finale 2 years ago when he went for 36 or something, making 16 straight free throws.
