Game Notes
Anything goes in a preaseason game, and that wont change in China. Both teams will be looking to put on a good exhibition for the crazed fans, so we may possibly see a more relaxed defensive showing. With Rashard Lewis likely out, the focus will be on freak athlete Dwight Howard. We usually handle him ok, but its the lesser lights that shine against us.
If JJ Redick does start, I would like to see us isolate Larry on him. Surely this is a matchup we can take advantage of without taking 20 footers. Likewise LeBron with the Turk.
This game is being shown worldwide, so hopefully it will be a good spectacle.
