    Wait, I missed a big chunk of the game. Is CJ hurt?

    Reminds me of a run first offense. First two downs like power sweep, then 3 and long when you can't make first down.

    Except it's pick and roll, or screen for Dame and CJ and then look to Nurk occasionally when you make the second pass.

    That is the core of our offense, literally every fucking play. It's almost like Tery is only concerned with keeping three players happy.

    Think Dame figured out their defense at the end there. This game is over in the third

    Our most successful first half plays involved Layman. And those were like two of the three or four decent shots he got.

    Jake with 7 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist and 2 blocks. He is capable of filling the stat sheet a little more and it's nice to see....even against the Suns.

    One thing about Collins he rebounding better lately and actually pretty decent offense rebounder and that will improve by him getting stronger. What needs to work on is his mid range game because it not good right now.
