They look alarmingly un-ath-a-le-tic.



If RK is 6'9", then MP1 is 6'10" and MP2 is 6'11." That's a good sized front court with depth, too. Unless, of course, we get a game with the *&%$ing refs from the 2004 semi-final game.

Plus, that's a lotta "suits" in the photo.

I had the same impression.

And Kelly is up to around 235. Word is, he'll push Mason for the starting spot at the 4. Which I think is a good thing. I liked it at the beginning of last year when one Plumlee came in with Lance and the other with Zoubek so they had an experienced player on the floor helping out. This year, the experienced players are the Plumlee's so I think if they can take over as mentors for the other guys it'll only make the team better down the stretch.

This years team is going to be amazing. There have been a number of folks who have been watching the team play together who have commented on what they see over on the Scout boards. The guard who is supposed to be on the bench the most (Thornton), is supposedly one of the best defenders on the floor - and has a pretty good shot. Being able to run out Nolan and Irving to start and bring in Curry, Thornton and Dawkins to spell them gives opposing teams no rest. They'll have to overplay the 3, and with Dawkins being the 'worst' ball handler of the group bodes badly for the other team. An improved Final Four MOP in Singler and 4 guys who can capably man the post and it's just not fair.

As long as none of them are tutors...

And the four guys manning the post would be? MP1, MP2, RK and...

And yes, it would be fair.

Yeah - Suits 14, Players 12! What the hell is that all about? What happened to a coach, two assistants and Max?

Obviously a dinosaur type situation.
I don't care, as long as it works!

Josh Hairston. He's a 3/4 - supposed to be similar to Lance Thomas but with more offense.
