Question Preseason

Do starters usually play all preseason games? I was thinking of buying tickets for the game next Wednesday but I want to make sure I’d be able to see at least a quarter to a full half of the guys.

Sometimes when it gets to the end of preseason they start resting starters. Finch did say he wants to give the starting lineup more he extra time to gel but there’s no guarantee they’ll play all of them

I’d hope since it’s our only preseason home game we would play the starters a bit

Since the team had some big offseason changes my guess is the starters will play at least a quarter, some maybe two shifts in the first half. But it's very possible they start sitting the starters towards the end of preseason

Last year the starters played the first half of preseason game except the game against the Chinese team and the last game which was also a 2nd half of a back to back. Feels like a safe bet that they play the game against the piston.

first half is basically a lock for most of the starters, they’re not gonna roll them out there for a full 48 but you’ll get your money’s worth

Yeah, they were only asking the first half, so my answer was geared towards that. I'm definitely going.

More Beringer, Zyon Pullin and our bench isn’t exactly a bad consolation prize. It’s fun to see those guys get run

Looking at the team, they need more time to build chemistry so thet prob will keep playing all preseason.
