    All respect to Codman, but I'd just as soon see JHill give those 6 fouls-- along with the positives JHill might bring. Feel bad for those cut; still, they ought to make a good living playing the game somewhere. Congrats to Mr. Smith! Ish the Dish will fulfill DaDakota's equation: bring energy, penetrate, and satisfy.

    Brian Cook had an assist last night.

    His improved passing game makes Ish expendable.

    We could use a new point forward

    Congratulations to Ish. He deserved it. I feel bad for the guys who didn't make it.
    Hope they make it elsewhere.

    I know that Mike Harris play in the NBA soon and be effective. Just look at Kelenna Azubuike who played for the Rockets in the summer league and preseason games. He looked real good but we couldn't keep him, and look at him now, he can score 20 points on any given night.

    I'm waiting for the regular season after Smith has had a good game, gets a microphone stuck in his face, and is asked, "Ish, tell us about that play!" and the man replies, "Call me Ishmael!"

    Does everyone know Smith's middle name is Larry?

    Scrimmages, practices, and a possible new addition to the Vipers squad. Now the Vipers have first dibs on McNeal, before other NBDL teams can choose him.

    Harris is just too undersized for this league. Good luck to him

    I feel sorry for Mike ... The dude is definitely NBA talent, he just was trying to make a team that was to dang deep. Mike, should really try out for one of the weaker teams like GS, Cleveland or Toronto he could definitely make one of their rosters!

    Glad to see that the annual "Nooooo, I wish Mike Harris would have made the team, he's an NBA talent" parade hasn't skipped a beat this year.

    How often do we have to do this dance before everyone finally realizes that Mike Harris just isn't good enough to play on this team, and never will be?

    I have a question. Did they guys that got cut make any money at all? How much would you get paid to go through training camp?

    I feel really bad if they didn't get paid at all, and had to support themselves while trying to make the team.
