Maybe we can end the losing streak! Tipoff is at 7:30.

Man, I couldn't care less about the preseason right now. maybe because I have a better feel for what the team will do, and because Blatche isn't playing.

I can't wait for the season.

I too am really apathetic about this preseason. I think I was spoiled by the televised games last year; reading box scores just isn't the same.

Long season ahead. Not real optimistic. Too many holes. Gona outscore some teams and gonna give up league high in ppg. Blatche only thing that might excite me. But EJ will take all season getting in him in the mix. He will be wasted.
