I'm not going to put too much on this game as far as score, considering Dirk, John Terry and STackhouse aren't playing, but I'm liking what I'm seeing as far as focus and intensity and rive are concerned. They look like they have the hunger. Now if they can stay hungry at least into November, I'll be very happy.

First half impressions (keeping in mind this is just the first pre-season game and not midway through December):
Musselman - He has DRIVE, PASSION and intensity. What he may not have by the end of the evening is a voice. He may have to delegate some yelling to the assistants.
Bibby - He definitely looks leaner, a little quicker and more involved. And he's playing defense. Honest. I swear.
Martin - Looking in good form. Maybe a bit more muscle mass. May just take up the Bonzi rebound slack. No fear at all. Shot looks good.
Artest - Offense isn't working quite yet but he's already showing his D intensity and we know he always turns it up a notch in the second half.
KT - ... ... ... Oh, excuse me. I seem to have drifted off for a moment.
Miller - Very impressed with him. He's moving better, he's doing an excellent job in the high post, and he's mixing it up with Dampier, etc.
Bench impressions:
SAR - couple of good moves.
Corliss - great to see.
The others? It's just too early to really judge. I think both Amundson and Williams have potential. Douby isn't ready for major minutes. Price is trying but I don't think he's ready. Salmons might surprise some people eventually.
