HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ok, the pre-season is whining down. By the end of the week all the pre-season games will be over and regular league games will begin. These count. The pre-season is design to give you a chance to see where your team stands, if the players are catching on to what coaches or trying to teach, and exactly how much talent the team has. Some teams take on stiffer, stronger, better competition than other teams. Some teams go deeper in their bench then others to see how back up players react in game situations. A lot of testing and tweaking takes places. So don't look at the records to give you some impression as to where your favorite team is. The real deal is about to begin.

Good Luck...
