The Official First Gameday Thread! Pels vs. Bulls at SKC
There is reason Gentry played the starters ~30 mins and it's not because he just viewed it as some pre season game.
We only have 2 more games (Gentry said he's not playing starters against Memphis in last pre season game) before the games start counting for W and Ls. I'm not saying anyone should be panic mode over 1 game, they shouldn't, but it's clear Gentry views the pre season as VERY important for this team.
This first game was good for us because it showed us just how good we can be and also that we still have a lot to work on. The hope is to see improvements over the next two games in playing more consistent basketball. We have a long way to go and a short time to get there.
This idea that "its preseason just relax" is wrong. This is the time to point out flaws and get them fixed before the games count.
