It was something the PxP guy mentioned towards the end of the game.

I might have heard differently that the previous poster, but I the PxP guy said he spoke with Maymon pregame, asked when we would see him again, and Maymon said something to the effect of "Maybe in the next month or so."

Barely walking? I saw him jumping around on the sideline a lot today. Gave me some encouragement.

Edit: they did say a month or so. Not sure where the 2 weeks came from.

Stokes looked unstoppable, Richardson had some fire in him, his offensive game is night and day different from last year. McBee's shot looks a whole lot better.

Don't get carried away, we played an undersized team today. Give it time to see what we have. I still think we need Maymon badly.

The announcers mentioned he was walking around with a very noticeable link.

Believe me, I want him back as soon as possible...I just think the fact he still isn't practicing, and he's been out since Augustish is a bad sign. Even when he starts participating in practice, he's gonna need awhile to get back into playing shape IMO.

I heard them say that too, I was just encouraged by the way he was celebrating on the sidelines.

I agree it is a bad sign, and that it'll take awhile to get back even when he's cleared to practice. I just hope it's sooner than most of us think. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was the whole year.

That's actually kind of what I'm going with, not expecting him back. That way if/when he comes back its a nice boost and not an expected thing.

my biggest concern is trae golden, he constantly makes terrible decisions leading to turnovers, and his shot selection is horrid. He looks to be the same as he was last year, and I don't like to call players out or put blame on certain guys but he was solely responsible for a few losses we incurred last year. If this team is going to be elite which they have the potential to be, he is going to need to learn to be a true pg. By that, I mean he needs to limit turnovers, look more to assist rather than to shoot, basically manage the game better. I think the kid has plenty of potential but he often tries to do too much and force things rather than let things come on there own.

All in all I'm liking what I see. There are a few minor adjustments that need to be made but I have complete confidence in CCM to get things fixed.

Golden is out of portion. With him averaging 5 ast a game he needs to be playing center. *insert tard face but can't because I'm on mobile*

Do you think he is a good PG? I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if he had the same type of year that he had last year, which was 4.5 assists to 3 turnovers. His shooting wasn't spectacular last year either and is looking worse. It is early though, so we will see how things play out. Just voicing my opinion.

What's his assist to turnover this year?

What did his numbers look like compared to Teague from KY last year?

What'd his numbers look like compared to all American Trey Burke last year?

It's 3 and some change I believe. Like I said it's early so we will see what happens. I'm not by any means rooting for him to do bad, I just see the same player as last year, that's all.

comparing him to teague is unfair because teague didn't need to be a great pg with the team that was around him, tennessee doesn't have an nba starting line up. I get what you're saying though.

Exactly. A 3:1 assist to turnover is damn good. He's averaging almost 5 assist a game right now, what more do you want?

That wasn't my point about Teague, my point was more technically last year was traes first just like Teague, we all should remember that when talking about trae.

That is good and hopefully it will remain that way or even better, increase. His decision maker is a concern to me though, I still feel like he tries to do too much and force things.

I do agree with that, I think he forces shots a little too often still...but that's part of being a SG who's in his second year at learning PG. I think it will get better.
