Everybody gets to be who they really are. All we're lacking is a next-level center and a defensive stalwart who can lockdown on the other team's top scorer and we are in the mix like a blender!!
I think we have the ability right now to play 30-35 min. of good defense, but it's the other 13-18 min. where .500-or-better teams are going to get their buckets and have their way with our youth, inexperience and lack of cohesion. I guess that's where the offense comes in - crisply rotating to the open man, using most of the shot clock, hitting 3s at a nice rate. Definitely a Warriors-style of defense by superior offense.
A great psych-booster last night, I hadn't rooted that hard for the squad in a while. The crowd was hyped and I think Staples will be just fine without #24.

I am going to the game Tuesday if anyone is wondering. Pacers are Very Good this season but I give us a chance. I look at these 4 games and if we go 2-2 I will be happy with it.

1-3 with some great energy and fight wouldn't even be bad. 2-2 would signal that this team is for real.
