Big boy basketball tonight. Tall order. Won't be upset with a loss but i do want to see some fight and maximum effort displayed. Either way i think we will know something about our team after the game. I think Bryant is the best player we've had at that position in many years. Butler could be a force if we can just shoot well enough to stop teams from placing three men around him. No he doesn't have the offensive skills of Cokely but a bigger, stronger athlete. Overall we are going to be more disruptive defensively but we simply have to shoot better. (If thats possible). If Bryant breaks down the defense and kicks it out to an open man, which he will do, we have to hit open shots. Coach Bartow use to say you can draw up a great play but at the end of it a guy misses an open 10 ft shot then it doesn't matter. Go Blazers!
