    Yeah he does. I feel like that’s because he’s so far been good at just one thing and if that’s failing he’s got nothing else to fallback on. But every time I see him he seems a little bit better and a little bit surer. We’ll see.

    Been saying this for a while. Trent is a one trick pony. That said, Ant isnt much more than a 3pt shooter right now either.

    I think that will all change if when he is able to attack the rim with success. Even a good floater would do the trick.

    If you can dodge a Melo pass, you can dodge a wrench

    Simons problem with defense he never had to play it since he been playing basketball. Now days everyone practice offense in there practices from the time most starting to play. The kid should of went to college at least one year.

    I honestly think of this year as his senior year in college. I've said it before, he is the epitome of someone who should have stayed all 4 years in college (or at least gone to 3 years of college). They don't take advantage of his skills (that's a common theme on this team).

    I'm both happy with his progress this season, but also disappointed with it.

    I love how we trade for a 20ppg scorer on insane efficiency and he has 11 shot attempts over his last 50 minutes played.

    Can we run some more on ball action for Norm? That was beautiful.

    Advice to Norman:
    Learn to hog, then shoot.

    I am no fan of the coach, but I'm also not a fan of overreacting (I know I've been guilty of it).

    His first game, it was Nurk who said he wanted to get Norm going and get him looks. Not Terry.
