Vegas has 18 teams playing 3 games each all Mon-Wed Thanksgiving week.  Yes alot of people will be watching but I really don't believe our fanbase is going to say ok damn we lost to Houston and Kansas within 24 hours this season is cooked.  I would say they need to be competitive though and be really careful about that 3rd game.

Crazy as it sounds that 3rd night we could still get matched up somehow with a handful of other top 25 or even top 10 teams if they are losing games too.  Again so now you say ok we lost to 3 top 25 teams in 72 hours.  Is that a dealbreaker, I don't think so.  It would sting with a loss to Tenn as well at home so that's 4 losses to top 25 teams early on,  What does that really tell us though, we're not a top 25 team right now which let's be real I don't think anyone expects early on anyway.

Either way I really think this team is going to be alot more fun to watch this year for our fanbase especially at home.  We have a ton of guys playing above the rim and all they do is dunk and a real PG to lob it.  We've got rid of the pout brothers (can't remember who called them that but it's great), Bell and Benny, that sit on the perimeter and air up 3's then when they miss cry about it for 10 mins.  We should have great Guard play and Donnie is an awesome playmaker.  Then you have some aggressiveness with the supporting cast with Kyle and Sadiq.  Kiyan could be a big shooter off the bench that gets the crowd pumped too.

All the while the Nov/Dec non-con cupcake schedule should have about 10 games of crushing teams at the dome cuz like people said these are really bad teams we're playing at home outside of Tenn.  Then league play.
