    Yeah he’s sooo holding back now just wanting to do what they tell him and not overplay anything and get yanked …. but there’s a reason he got his nickname.

    Gonzaga?

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    No idea who qualifies lol. But the paleskin, lacking athleticism, must use other tricks to compete in sports. As a byproduct, you sometimes end up with more fundamentally sound players who don't rely as much on athleticism. Like Steve Nash, Stockton, etc. No doubt they are great athletes, but top shelf? No way.

    AC is your huckleberry. Probably did a deal with the dark side … cost him his hair. :D (and not “elite” athletically … understand the point)

    McClung does pretty well for himself.

    ;)

    He was our energy guy early this season. Why is he a DNP? Come on Vogel.

    he needs to be the starting sg. and we need to either bring in a starting center or pf/sf. eh, who am i kidding. as long as our top dogs look like we've interrupted their nap, it doesn't matter who else we trot out.

    Said it before and I'll say it again, I love this kid. I'm pissed at Vogel for benching him these past games. Stupid!
