    I tell ya what, When I was asking who our 3rd string center was, because we were going to see a TON of him this season, and people snapped out Nance and how he would be fine. Wondering how they felt when they saw Javelle FUCKING McGee look like a combo of Shaq and Wilt out there on like 5 straight dunks on him in the first. Ouch.

    Yeah, cause bouncing implies you even had a chance.

    The problem with those lobs was due to not enough ball pressure being applied to the ball handler with the big high. Called this out during the game and the first time we applied proper ball pressure, their lob attempt turned into a turnover. It's on the guard more than the big. Having a 7'1 guy wasn't going to break that up. You gotta stay attached to the ball-handler through the screen.

    The two I remember were not over Nance. Maybe it was his fault, maybe not, but either way, Nance was at the free-throw line guarding someone else. That is a coaching adjustment.

    If Zeller were playing, he would be able to neutralize McGee.

    Does this break our record (when Indiana doubled up on us)?

    We need an offense not predicated on Dame going supernova every night.

    I have a little feeling our new coach would rather win.

    In the short term, so we can go deeper in the long (playoffs).

    They were probably too excited to sit courtside at the WNBA finals tonight to focus on the game.

    No $hit. But rebuilding our offense and defense doesn't happen overnight.

    Yes, its like if you stop them from scoring more than you - you’ll win the game.
