    Montero looks a step slow.

    Kind of, but he still lacks in so many ways. Has not picked up on the nuances of the game at all. Still looks like a physically talented kid who really has only played playground ball, and looks out of place in an organized game.

    Not surprised at all. I had no worries he'd be able to do it.

    Calabro and Hurd are pretty quiet. I feel like I've tuned them out unintentionally.

    One thing seems clear with this new crew: the past attention to the refs has been dramatically reduced. Hardly any discussion of bad calls and I don't think that they've even mentioned who the officials are. It's only preseason, but I suspect that may have been a sore point about the Mike's style.

    They are low. I hear the sneakers squeaking more than them at times. Hurd actually sounds louder than Calabro.

    It's gonna take some time for them to build up some chemistry.

    I have no shame in admitting I liked the homerism of the Mikes. I realize that now. Eh. Oh well.

    Looks like eyes dont lie when it comes to plumlee. Reading he's added 10 pounds in the offseason.

    Mont3ro (may be the only time it's ever used).

    Those last 2 plays are why Montero is such an intriguing prospect.

    He's always shown flashes. He's just never shown more.
