The difference you are seeing is that this team is built to play the DDM, and therefore are actually running an offense. last year we were so stacked down low, we tried to run everything through the post, so at times we were just standing around trying to get the ball down low. When that failed, we just jacked up some three's or waited for Wall/Bledsoe to bail us out with a drive.

This team can shoot it very well, and everyone on the floor can break their man down on the dribble. They are just much more fluid.

That's where I was trying to get at with it. They seem like they have the potential to be scary good this year. I think I am more worried about this years team than last year.

Didn't want the technical foul, but that was pretty hilarious.

He pulled an And-1 move right there.

Kentucky had a chance to end this game before it began.

I said it before, I'll say it again. That Harris/Jones matchup is going to be something else. The world will have to stop.

It will be fun to watch. Jones is going to be a nightmare of a match up for most teams this year.

Jimmy Dykes is an idiot. "Brandon Knight is not Kyrie Irving good, but he's good".

You know what is scary to think about? If Daniel Orton did the smart thing and come back. My gosh.

I got a good laugh on that one.

It would have certainly changed things for 2 or 3 minutes per-game, seeing as how he committed a foul every 30 seconds.

But yeah, this team would dangerous.

Ok, lets get off the love, slobber, drool fest of Kyrie Irving

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

The most important part of the game is to stop the "dadgum ball".

I think he would have just been another body for you guys to have, to just pick up fouls. I was never impressed with him.

Looks like Oklahoma is showcasing some moxie.

Liggins is a baller.

He did not have a chance to refine his offensive game, but he does have one. But make no mistake, the kid was a defensive and rebounding force when in the game. Two things which are drastically needed on this years squad.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

I can't wait for next season, thats all I can say.

Miller needs to learn to use his shadow defenders.

Talk to the dolphins??

True, he was never put in the game to really try and score. He was however a mad man when it came to rebounding, got to agree with you.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

We could use him now, because we are playing ZERO defense.

Yeah, these guys are top shelf.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

That was iffy.

 

[wildnkrazykat]

the walk?

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

And now we have "money man". Hello Burt B.!

I do love hearing Thousand Foot Krutch as the go to commercial though, good band.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

the walk?

Yup.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Bad call there too.
