lakdod, i'm going out on a limb very early in the season even though i hope i'm wrong.

the broncos are finished. they have little chance of going to the field of four at the CCAA tournament and no chance of dancing.

tonight marked yet another frustrating finish, complete with blown leads, foolish turnovers, and very little team ball.

the few good things first: larry once more had to carry this team, and his shoulders aren't big enough for everybody.

kyle kept hustling for loose balls.

angelo stopped talking and spent more time playing basketball.

kevin was a credible sub with some key layins and putbacks.

now the bad:

collins is even less of a point guard than angelo. palming the ball, throwing it away, not playing hardnosed defense, contributing little on the attack...in short, this is no asset of much value.

team defense. spotty at best. example: dominguez has ball with lead under a minute and we don't even have our hands up.

crunch time play. with a chance to tie with a trey we pass the ball to....larry? huh? when angelo can hit from NBA range?

passion. never present. a key league game and there was almost no enthusiasm from either the fans or the bench.

bottom line: we are now 2-6 with the easy part of the schedule almost over.
after saturday we will have far more of these games on the road.

10-15 is beginning to look like an optimistic prediction now.
