    Before we get too cocky, their starters were all pluses and ours all minuses. Gobert was +8 in 16 minutes with ten rbs. Lillard is -8.

    I think the one thing that frustrated me about Rice was that we all knew he was knowledgeable, but he hardly ever used it. I like being entertained, but I like to learn too.

    It's weird watching replays now knowing what @HCP does to do them so quickly.

    Meh. I thought he was fine. Some nights he went overboard with silliness, but he was fun and a good compliment to Barrett.

    Thoroughly disagree. Yes, I will admit rices charm is in his old man with no filter persona. That was fine for the organization for a long time, but rice is firmly in his 80s and frankly if you think Mike rice is hip, you yourself are not hip. Hurd is a chiller, a former ball player, a strong African American perspective in a sport foundationally built on African Americans, and yes... hip. He's made me laugh more than a few times already, and I'm a 26 year old millennial.

    Rice and Calabro would have been amazing.

    I'm very glad we didn't let go of Crabbe. He looks much improved.

    Hurd is corny. Rice is real.

    I'm also a millennial. Whatever that means.
