In this game, Wiseman, Percious and Dandrigde did not play. Yet, we still had an excellent showing.

I thought DJ, LT, and Mr. Short Shorts all played well.

I thought almost everyone played well. We have great depth. More than I expected. When we have Wiseman and Precious, it is an onslaught of talent in every position.

Ok I enjoyed the tiny guys running around on my iPhone in portrait mode too but we are about 3 months before we tip off our first regular season game. The athleticism of Baugh surprised me the most and he is a capable backup PG too. But some of your were high on him that watched him play. DJ is going to be solid. Harris led the team in shots again and shot poorly until the game was a blowout.

I think our team defense has the furthest to go. I really like the pick and roll and kept thinking if we had Wiseman and Precious, it would be an absolute blow out.

We let them get way too many offensive rebounds. That is what allowed them to stay in the game (and even have the lead) for as long as they did. We were running good plays and missing shots, they were missing shots and getting 2nd and 3rd tries.

We pretty much destroyed a team without two of our best players.

Rebounding wasn't the negative in my eyes because of lack of depth down low. Thomas showed he's the real deal and DJ was more than impressive.

If ya'll remember last season we had the same defensive worries, but as the season went on it got better and better. Also, we never had Wiseman and when he comes back. Oof.

Who gave my old gym shorts from the 90's away?? I have to learn all these number to name associations now. Who has a list?

Someone predicted early summer that DJJ would be our MVP. He could be.
Gonna be hard to keep Lance off the floor. He's got a grinder mentality-slimmer version of Dandridge.
Love Lester's game. He finished with 8 boards, too. He's strong.
Jayden had a couple of nice moments. I guess the FIBA rules allowed that Eurostep move he scored on!
At full strength, we are going to simply overwhelm a lot of teams with talent and size.

we'll have a better defensive showing when Wiseman is back there blocking or altering shots

Who are the "Giants"?

This team is really going to be as good as advertised.

We were never good on D last year for a whole game or most of one (Penny said that and look up the link yourself) but I expect that to change this year.

They just said on the radio that the Giants were comprised of players who "didn't have to work that day". Their roster changes each game depending on who is available.

The defense wasn't terrible yesterday. The game was quite a bit different though. A good portion of that was the 24 second shot clock. Last year we averaged 62 shots a game. Yesterday we had 82 shots. Pretty impressive to play at such a fast pace and only have 11 turnovers.

Lester Dukes ?

The players played well for an exhibition. What also impressed me, is the number of fans who were there!

Great job, Tigers!

Great support, Tiger Fans!
