I don't think anyone minds starting a little early, right?

[Comment From JimBob]
How much were the Thunder sandbagging Sacramento in last week's pre-season game and what differences do you anticipate tonight? Sacramento played with a lot of energy last week, but I wonder how much of that had to do with guys trying to secure final roster spots or playing time?

Darnell Mayberry - JimBob, I don't think they were "sandbagging" at all. Bottom line, the Kings played with a lot more energy than the Thunder. And most of their guys are already on the team. I do expect it to be different tonight now that the regular season is here.

How many points do you expect KD to average?

[Comment From Sammy]
Can't wait for the game tonight. KD35 for MVP!

Darnell Mayberry - Smith, I've penciled KD in to average 26.2 points this season. He's got more weapons around him and he's not a selfish guy that's determined to lead the league in scoring. He averaged 25.3 points last season so I do expect his scoring to go up. But I have my doubts we'll see a big jump.
