... that showed up in the second half but their my favorite.

I literally shocked.

Penny's 50th win.

its was

lomax, LQ, Nolley, Williams, Cisse

they played until the 12 minute time out and scored 23 points in that stretch

I like those 5 to start and earn an average 130 minutes or more. Leaves maybe 70 minutes for the rest of the team to earn. Sure would like for Memphis Basketball to get serious again.

Cisse is learning but he is still not ready...

Cant count on him for anything more that 20 minutes a game.

You are right about that because good coaches are going to get him in foul trouble. You still have to hope the team can continue to help him on defense because that is where he is most important. If the Tigers can get him 25 to 30 minutes a game they can win the conference. That is a very big if.

Same here. I couldn’t believe we were actually playing as a team! I hope it sticks.

If they are running the same offense that Penny coached as a high school coach it makes sense that ALo is more effective in it. Last night was as well as he's performed since he started here. And it bears repeating, hopefully Penny noticed how well we performed without the mass substitutions screwing up momentum.

Probably not but compared to prior performances this was a breakout game for him.

The most notable differences IMO was that ALo wasn't dribbling into traffic and getting caught with nowhere to go. After that it was that Cisse stayed at home in the paint and was going straight up after catching a pass. And it didn't hurt that they were actually hitting their open shots at a higher clip than at any time in this season. If they could just hit those damn layups...

He can do that every night, provided the guards get him those nice passes, and he stays out of foul trouble.

I've been critical, but that was much better!

Hoping it's a preview of things to come and not an aberration.

Yes l, hopefully that was a turning point for this team.

The bottom line is that we got whatever we wanted on offense. Missing on all those easy shots was somewhat negated by hitting such a high percentage of 3 point shots; but we still created shots that should have lead to around 85 points. Our defense was great.

It is our pro team's rink, Bell Centre, that has sold out over 21,000 seats, 40 games plus playoffs every year since 2004. The owner of the Canadiens, Geoff Molson, is friends with, and plays with our group on Friday afternoons and sometimes invites us to play at the arena. We play in Westmount, which is adjacent to Montreal's downtown core, and their city league sweaters had Red Wing logos at the time. A few players outside of our group were invited this particular time, so the organizers decided to give everyone the same red or white sweaters.

I am very lucky to have the privilege to play there. It is the equivalent to Yankee Stadium, Lambeau Field or Augusta National.

Gotcha....very cool. A Montreal game is on my bucket list. I was wondering how you pulled that off lol. If that happened at Bridgestone Arena, you could be killed lol and we aren’t Montreal.

We do have a sellout streak going back a couple of years but Bridgestone is the second smallest arena in the NHL outside of Winnipeg.

It does get rocking though.

This a breakout game for the guys passing him the ball...

If they can continue feeding Cisse in positions to score he will continue to be successful. It doesn't have to be a lob...But if the big helps on a drive they have to find a way to get him a catchable pass so he can finish.

If Cisse continues staying home and battling for position under the basket... But yeah, the passing has been good.
I didn't realize just how young he is either, he has tremendous upside if he can stay healthy.

Let's see how they do against some stiffer competition. It's been nice watching actual basketball for the last two games though.

The atmosphere at your arena is amazing; it's a great crowd. When this mess is over; if you are ever in town I'll be happy to take you to a game.
