    I'm trying not to say that word too much just in case the government hears me and decides to impose one. That is a killer defensive lineup though. I'm sure we'll see it some at the end of games in defense for offense sub situations.

    Covington’s presser was probably one of the more impressive ones I’ve heard recently. He’s gonna be a fan favorite, no doubt.

    Stotts: "Show them that I'm just a mediocre defensive coach and not a bad one!"

    But seriously, he's got a personality that is going to vibe with the rest of the team. Very well spoken, knows who he is.

    He sure got deep with his change in course, which is commendable. Man of conviction!

    speaking of, how long will it take for Stotts to try convert him away from his natural talent into a range 3pt shooter like he tried with Meyers.

    Uhh he’s already shoot 3s on a high volume, average 6.6 3 point attempt a game for his career. So you can’t blame Stotts for turning him into a range 3 point shooter cause he’s technically is already one

    oh god this narrative is still alive I see. There’s nothing about Meyers DNA that says natural center. He grew up a guard. He has no desire to bang with anyone in the post. He even said it himself back when Stotts started letting him shoot threes. That’s not his comfort zone. Never has been, never will be. Show muscles.

    Simmons on his pod referenced some potential health issue with Roco. Cited another team that apparently did not want to trade for him because of all his nagging injuries. He plays through them but isn't as effective as a result.

    Simmons and Jackie think we'll be in the running for HCA or even top 3, but unsure of how we'll do in the playoffs.

    Awesome. He’s been compared to Crash. Well, Crash was starting to show signs of wear-and-tear here.
