Alright. I’m courtside at FedExForum where we’re about 25 minutes from the launch of festivities (but hopefully not Festivus).

Allen Iverson is not listed on the active roster tonight but was out shooting a few minutes ago and looked pretty good. GM Chris Wallace suggested earlier today that he would likely debut on the upcoming road trip.

I will be live-blogging tonight’s game, so check back here throughout the evening as the Griz try to get off to a good start.

Let’s do this.

Looks like Villanueva will start for the Pistons, so we’ll get a look at that match-up with Randolph early.

Sam Young is dressed and shooting around, so it looks like he’ll play. With Iverson out and Jaric in the wilderness, the Griz need him.

Your officials for tonight: Eddie F. Rush, Bennie Adams, and Joe Forte. I expect much less coaching rage (from both benches) than we saw in the preseason.
