Thanks for posting all these links. I try to read whenever I have time.

By the way, I meant to ask since you were at the game last night - it seems the Sun had a pretty rocky first quarter. What seemed to be the problem - nerves? Brushing the rust off? Lack of familiarity? (Though the starters all know each other... ) What helped them get it together in the second quarter?

Hopefully they'll get off to a better start tonight.

I guess some combination of the following:

1. Typical 1st preseason game
2. 3 starters with 1 or less years of experience
3. Excitement (more charitable than "nerves")
4. Adjustment to game-speed and game-physical play (WNBA-style)
5. 2 probable starters not present (when they start playing, there will be further acclimation)
