    We dominated this bitch!

    Now let's have this rebounding and defensive work trickle into the regular season and get top 3 in the west!

    Lots to be encouraged about from the preseason. I'm excited about what the regular season holds for us.

    I guess it beats the unpleasant alternative of looking like shit in the preseason ...beyond that? I guess we'll see what happens.

    We are also tied for 7th-best, since it's a 4-way tie.

    We ended up...

    Outrebounding opponents 51.7 to 41.1
    Outscoring opponents 95.3-90.6
    Holding opponents to 38.4% shooting

    BUT:
    Totalling 144 TOs! (50 more than the opposing teams!)

    ^^LOL, I'm not typing the primer fast enough. Rebounding and shooting % are two of the things I'm writing up. Props, Rasta.

    Yeah that is a lot of turnovers. Hopefully a large proportion of those can be attributed to the larger than normal amount of new player combinations that were on the floor. 12 turnovers last night from our two PG's is scary though.

    For those who watched the game, what was the biggest reason for the TO's?

    So just bad decisions and bad passes on their part?

    The increased turnovers have given us a chance to practice our rebounding!

    The turn overs are an issue; but there are a lot of new faces. That will drop a little by mid season. I care mainly about the rebounding and opponent fg%. Those are two areas we sucked badly in last season.
