- Grant Napear reported during the game last night Shareef Abdur-Rahim wants to play in one of the remaining preseason games and should be available opening night. I think Kenny Thomas is set as a starter for now; it will be interesting to see if Shareef gets slotted in front of Mikki Moore or not once his legs are back underneath him.

Blazer's Edge's Dave's thoughtsthe thoughts Dave from Blazer's Edge has from game. He mentions Chris Ellis, whom: a) I had never heard of prior to last night, and b) almost beheaded a few Kings with his elbows. Calm down, man! The NBDL is not choosy. - The gentlemen of Free Darko preview every player in the NBA. Seriously. Actually, only A-F is up so far. Sample: "Douby, Quincy: films buddy cop pilot with Quincy Lewis." Most entries are about like that.
- I support counting 'the pass before the pass' in some format. Of course, I also support counting possessions and potential assists, and assists which lead to foul shots. (Quincy Douby had two would-be assists to Darryl Watkins last night in which Watkins got hammered and misses the lay-ins but made his free throws. QD gets no credit for those. Jameer Nelson's assist numbers would look much better if those were counted.)
- TheHype is some sort of genius.
- Fandemonium is tonight at ARCO. Anyone going?
