I wanted him to finish that last dunk so bad when I watched it live. Loved the aggressive take to the rim!

I'd love to see PE & staff do a lot of interviews leading up to the season, the team has some good momentum happening right now, they should take advantage of it... According to Keith Stevens, Maryland being in the B10 is a tougher sell for local kids who prefer the ACC or Big East, Gtown has a chance to fill the possible void...

Does anyone know for sure if we are going in the battle 4 Atlantis next year? I’ve seen us mentioned, as recently as on the trip, but yet we are not listed on the tournament website,
Wife loved it there last trip, so I’m sure we are going again if they are in!

A very good synopsis IMHO. There will be some that disagree, but on the whole I thought it well thought out.

Liked this write-up as well. Two interesting take-always for me:
1) LeBlanc at the 5 could be reminiscent of Draymond at the 5 for Golden State. Josh Needs to improve the open court handle and passing, but it could be viable if we want to go small ball, push pace, and run fast.
2) Allen’s defense, if truly elite, could really really help us against Marquette and Seton Hall where we will need a lock-down defender to focus on Howard and Powell. Would take the pressure off James and Mac in these games.

With all the bigs we have brought in, I just don’t see playing Josh at center. That’s a recipe for transfers. Allen will help alleviate foul problems at the guard positions.

Always a rollercoaster ride with him." when he shot 12-23 from 3 on the trip is a big headscratcher for me...

I think he means that its either a Swish or an airball/brick that has no shot at being o rebounded and is equivalent to a turnover.

No possible way could that have been his meaning, did you read the quote? P.S. - My bad if this was sarcasm...

Anyway, I’ll take that 50+% from 3 even if he bricks every other shot.

Anyway, I’ll take that 50+% from 3 even if he bricks every other shot. I just took the comment as meaning that Blair is streaky. I'd take 50% from 3 as well, but if he is 0-5 in Game 1 and 5-5 in Game 2, it would be fair to call him 'hit or miss' and wonder what you are getting when you insert him in Game 3. Of course, my example is extreme and didn't happen, but that is what I think the author meant. hm Edit: before Etomic @'s me with Blair's game logs from the Bahamas, I'm not saying I agree with the author but I do think that is his take. (hm)

(hm) LOL, you know me too well HM... Blair went 4-8, 5-9 & 3-6 in the 3 games... Your take is fair for you & most fans but not for a guy who covers the team and is writing an article about the exhibition games...

Too many options...
