    I think some will see sharpe's performance last night and think that thybulle should take back over with the starters.

    but.

    I kinda dig the notion of an ant, brogdon, tisse, walker, rw3 'responsible adults' second unit.

    Who would win a fight between Mighty Mouse and Underdog?

    My money is on Mighty Mouse.

    (No, not that one.)

    I think I might not freak out about anything this season. I'm not expecting a lot of wins. I'm not expecting that these young guys gel quite yet. I am expecting us to get a good return of more youth and/or picks and expiring contracts around the trade deadline or sooner for Brogdon and Jerami but if they stay I don't think I'll freak out. I might get a little annoyed if Ant is dribbling too much and taking too many shots throughout the season and I think it is hurting the development of Scoot and Shae.

    It's kind of nice because we don't have expectations for this season. The only thing that would really freak me out is any really bad injuries, other than that it's just enjoying the development of a young team.

    If we can get Spoelstra we had better open up the bank vault and do it.

    Is there talk he may be on the outs with Miami?

    I saw that play and was surprised more people weren’t talking about it. It sucked that they missed the shot.

    Shae had a few plays like that last season where he’d do a nutty athletic feat to keep the ball alive and it was never really recorded or highlighted.

    It’s really easy to forget the team has been playing basketball together for all of one week.
