    Adversity is good. They need reps, not hand-holding.

    LOVED the way Caleb and Nurk looked when they played together to start the 2nd half. Tough and rebounded well.


    Meanwhile, we've got Meyers trying to show off his abs after the game...

    I liked how he doesn't force things. He does a good job of getting to his spots.

    I missed Morrow's shift but I see he hit 4 threes. How'd he look? Were his shots simply wide open catch and shoots or did he show an ability to do more?

    I did too. I thought it was a weakness for him, but I think Swanigan's defense was not a problem while playing with Nurk and Harkless. In fact I thought he did a pretty good job tonight on that end at least from what I saw in the 3rd quarter. He communicates, works hard, and gets after the boards and can hit open shots all the way out to the 3. He fits pretty well with that group.

    Nice, thanks. So basically Crabbe on the offensive end.

    True.

    Kinda like that, yeah.

    No, I went looking for it. But I thought it was a convention for Knights dressed in white armor reenacting battles.

    It wasn't.....quite that. They were really big about burning crosses and wearing bed sheets for some reason......

    His jumper is lightning quick. He has no wasted movement in it at all. He'll easily replace Crabbe.

    Well that group that started the the 2nd half look real good and the next 2nd unit look good too. I like to see this rotation to start the next game. The 2nd can be pretty good with CJ Morrow Aminu Collins Davis. Tonight the bench score 52 points.

    I would be ecstatic if he develops into a genuine triple threat power forward for us.

    Today was the test for Meyers and he failed. As soon as some adversity hit he folded, again.
