Okay, the boxscores seem to work now. The team as a whole did really poorly on defense, but we won anyway because we forced a lot of turnovers and getting more offensive rebounds (most presesason games are an offensive showcase anyway).

Lindsey Hunter went nuts, and he almost couldn't miss. We're really dangerous when we can coax this kind of production from him, but that's not especially common.

McDyess seemed okay, but didn't shoot much. He got a lot of rebounds in limited time, but he also had some foul trouble. Delfino seemed to fade compared to last game, but he still rebounded fairly well for a player his size (and considering the minutes he played).

Jason Maxiell seemed to do great. Still missed 3 of 5 free throws, but 7-10 shooting is nothing to scoff at. Liking his play so far. One thing about him that worries me is that he didn't seem to rebound as well as he should, considering his athleticism. I recognize that he's shorter than most frontcourt players, but he's definitely strong enough to get more. All the rebounds he got were on the offensive end as well, which is good and important, but rebounds need to be had on both sides of the court.

Murray... egh. I like him when he slashes and he got to the free throw line pretty often this time, but the 5 turnovers still make me worry.

Starters aren't much of a concern right now except Nazr. He didn't do too badly, but there isn't much to talk about.

For the most part, I'm liking what I'm seeing, but I hope Delfino and Murray can gain some consistency.

Kinda weird that Minnesota didn't play Foye more. Wonder what happened.

Anyway, another game at 8 against Memphis. I'm interested in how Rudy Gay does, in the last few games, he's shot a LOT (~15 times), but with very poor accuracy. I haven't seen those games, so I don't know whether he's just forcing it or whether his teammates are just putting the ball in his hands every possession or what.
