    I put the whole thing up there -- it's about 46 minutes ... maybe I should cut out just highlights from it in the future.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I prefer the whole thing. That way we get all the conversation for context.

    I am listening to the second section right now.

    If you can Clutch, I would leave the whole hour. It's great! My only complaint is that you don't get to talk much. I hear it and i'm like what the hell.

    Still love the show.

    Finally finished! Darn clients interrupting my No Layups listening.

    Good show guys. Unfortunately I can't listen on Tuesday because of classes.

    Something I want to respond to is "How to fix the defense" Just getting a player with height and length isn't going to help this team to be the best or fix what's wrong. People don't just forget how to play defense and rebound, but the more something is enforced the easier it is to remember to actually do on the court.

    Something that has been said time and time again is defense isn't about talent, it's about effort. That effort has been minimal by the starters in these first seven games. There has been a lot of "gambling" for steals and letting players get deep into the paint because of it.

    I don't know if this is a product of having Ron, who is very good at jumping into passing lanes, but also gambles on more of those than is probably a good idea... or if it's just a lack of communication on help defense and so we get lazy.

    I just think maybe the emphasis has been on fixing the offense all off season and defensive principles got lost behind in the meantime.

    Oh, and I believe that the small lineup will still work, in fact it has at times where the second unit has gained and or extended the lead in a couple of our "ugly" games. The problem is the matchups. The idea was to force other people to respond to what we put on the floor and instead we have been matching up to what everyone else puts on the floor. At least that's my observation :)

    Can't wait for the next installment!

    Clutch check 2, 3 and 4 parts of that talk because for me they are not working well, I mean the voice is kinda 2x quicker than it should be.

    They just mentioned a trade scenario:

    Dirk for TMac


    I would do that in a heartbeat!

    The Owen Daniels (Houston Texans tight end) appearance cracks me up ... his face when he does the finger wag. :)

    Shoot ... I assumed it was my computer because I get some buggy video issues in Firefox from time to time. I'll see what I can find out.
