    It's a segregated city. Yes, I said in the first Santa Cruz game that the stands were 95% full. Then I looked again and thought I had overestimated, but didn't post a correction.

    Without our heroes, the other players get it down to only a 4-possession game, 12 down.

    M comes in and scores! Then steals, then is fouled.

    That was a respectable heave at the buzzer by Montero

    Montero reminds me a bit of Stacy "Plastic Man" Augmon

    M hoists from 60 feet at the end of the quarter. These commentators, when they say that something reminds them of a play in a game earlier this season, tell the listener to look it up on YouTube, and give the date and the opponents. It must be useful to have all games archived and free. Very different from referring to some old play you remember in the NBA.

    M bobbles it out of bounds for no reason. Plays fast and a little out of control. As a guard, he's very tall. But he plays under the basket a lot on offense. He's a SF.

    M shows some inside defense on the move. As I said last game or was it the 1st game, M will be an NBA starter in 2 years. A needs those 2 years to become a good NBA substitute center so he can begin 2 years of learning to be a good NBA sub forward.

    92-82, 8 minutes left. Refs doing another TV review, not about our 2 players.

    M makes the right decision, giving it up to someone to get 2 points! Great quick thinking close to the basket. This guy will be good someday.

    M thinks he's the only guard and the only forward! He does it all! Tries to dominate. A was in for a minute but came out, being saved for the end. 100-90, 5 minutes left.

    Why didn't Batum play this always-trying-to-dominate way in the NBA, the way Montero plays in the D-League? Well?

    Both guys are out now. Because of their foul proclivities, probably being saved for the end.
