Still looking over the numbers for today...
Aside:
1) Having watched the Kings for 2 straight games, they look more legit than they did last year - Westphal actually knows how to manage a team given his prior experience in the league. They may play better w/o Garcia and Martin (both of whom have a tendency to be high volume shooters) as the ball doesn't stick in their hands; may not scale the same heights, but potentially could spring some surprises here and there like the Blazers of 2 years ago.
2) Nate McMillen has now adopted an uptempo approach to satisfy some of his players on the Blazers: Fernandez, Webster, Bayless - this is as much in response to the addition of Andre Miller, who thrived in Philadelphia's chaotic fast break if possible strategy of years past. Games one ASSUMES are bona fide U's may not be a given owing to this change in direction from the plodding, use up 15 seconds of the shot clock half-court offense (which they will revert to given the opponent).
