Puerto Rico Trip 8/5 - 8/12

[IU5355]

Anyone else more excited about this exhibition game than any game last season?

Final rebounding numbers were absolutely identical 12 off; 29 def; 41 total so we clearly found a way to combat Mega's height advantage.

I’d say we got ourselves a coach who knows how to “adjust”!  Damned impressive!

When did making adjustments become legal

Kid is relentless. Saw this and thought that’s it 9 on a Saturday night he should be out having fun. But then thought, yeah friends invited him out but he declined to follow an August exhibition game on Twitter. That might be the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. That right there is my boy.

Without overreacting, it's worth reiterating this team has only had about 10 official practices together.

Entirely possible that our game MVP was the kid that fouled out with 6 points, zero rebounds, and one assist. Yeah the kid who was muthafukking 7 foot tall Serbian pros during timeouts.

Attitude and culture matter.

Just stretch it out to15 seconds and you should be OK.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID

There are so many things to love about this clip.

1. Lamar actually RELOCATES to create the open look off of the Connerway penetration.

2. As Lamar relocates, Sam Alexis bumps the defender that’s trying to follow Lamar off of his path.

3. Lamar drills the shot, because Lamar drills shots.

4. On the right edge of the clip?  Reed Bailey gets hooked by a Serbian guard and WWE throws his @$$ to the floor.

International exhibitions and all that….but you have to wonder if Sisley might contribute actual rotation mins this season.

Based on the comment about DDV not playing around with the lineups after Q1, I get the sense Sisley may play more than Harris. Hoping him and Miles can handle the adjustment from UNF.

That had to be hard for Ristic taking on his countrymen in a really chippy game. Hope it was a bonding moment.
