    Following the Practice issues earlier this year established that in my mind, in addition to why I may not want Jimmy Butler on my team.

    Something must not be right in the water in Chicago....lot of issues around that franchise as well as the inner city...the Bulls need new ownership and management.

    With whiteside at center, you could start crabbe at PF.

    Could be a tough game for Nurk tonight. Hard for me to predict this one, I think it can go either way. I also think Whiteside could be so focused on the guards in the P&R that Nurk could end up feasting tonight with nobody else to help with him.

    -Run lots of PnR
    -Find open man, take good looks and don't settle
    -Keep Miami off the 3pt line
    -Get wings involved
    -Keep Whiteside off the boards

    I'm not expecting much from this game. Heat are playing extremely well right now. We're on the second of a back to back. I'm very happy with a 3-2 road trip.

    We've won our last 5 games in the 2nd of a back to back. That said, I'm also happy with 3-2.

    He's been starting this whole time and usually scores about 3 ppg.

    That is not championship mentality though. Every game is a must win and Dame would have no less, and wold want nothing to do with "Im happy with..." or, "not expecting much..."

    I full on expect a win. Wanna know why?": Cause I know Dame does.

    If we want to move up and make it into the playoffs and bump Memphis down and out of the playoffs ( with a little help from ms Harding's affiliates), then we must win this game as well.
    Plus it will put the scare factor into our opponents when they come to town down the road.

    Remember all the NCAA games are live on the ESPN website. So if you have 2 computers and 1 TV........

    Oh I definitely want us to win don't get me wrong. I know I'll still be cussing at the refs and such wanting to win today. I'm just saying if we do happen to lose I know there will be posts about Armageddon and how we should blow up the team lol.

    Of course Dame wants to win and I want them to win. But I have no control over the result. But losses happen to everyone and 3-2 is impressive all things considered.

    The fucking Blazers feed needs to stop cutting off the National Anthem from the opposing arenas. They do this shit all the time, and it drives me nuts.
