dion cook took charge. while the point is not his natural position he can create, dish, drive, and most of all, finish. if he can settle down a bit we have our leader for the rest of this year and next.
kyle krause started but got frustrated because he was going all out while others, notably hervey malone II and melvyn nicholson, were mostly standing around and waiting for the ball rather than moving and diving.
yes, we won by twenty but against a very weak team. that proves nothing. what particularly ticked me off is that the so-called "captain" of this group, malone, kissed his bicep before he went onto the floor before the opening tipoff. what a freakin' hot dog! here he is, one of the worst shooters on the team, and instead of being humble he is reading his press clippings that must address his 28 per cent shooting from long range and his 48 per cent clip for free throws. please pass the barf bag.
next up is SF State, which as i recall is 0-16. then on saturday we will see what this team is really made of when sonoma comes to town. dion and larry, we are counting on you. |
i have changed my mind about this weekend. based on san bernardino's upset at sonoma i think we can rally together and sweep this weekend. friday's game is on television against the worst team in the league. let's try to get everybody out for the huge showdown saturday against the league leader saturday.
totally agree that dion needs to play HUGE and larry needs to get major minutes. if jboyd can keep his steady role and if hervey can provide just a glimpse of the defensive intensity he once had as an underclassman we are there. hey, maybe hervey can bring back the dreds?
