    How much explanation is required? In 9 minutes he fouled out with 3 turnovers. There aren't a lot of positives to be gleaned from that!!

    Hopefully he got his nerves out and will be better next time? But I fully expect him to be cut.

    10 points 14 boards in 24 minutes against Memphis? Impressive.

    Houston we have a rebounder. And I don't mean that gal you have after you broke up with your gal.

    Man, impressive, Tarik was like a better, younger, more athletic Chuck Hayes out there.

    Tarik Black is the black version of Greg Smith, I like it.

    Yea Ta'raach! I'm a fan going back to his college days. My alma mater tried to hire him when he defected from Memphis, but Kansas ended up outbidding us in what was a totally wasted role for him as the third big, first one off the bench.

    I've seen enough of that big mouth, inconsistent, cocky, Lithuanian D-Mo. Cut his ass or trade him for a second rounder. Stay with Black, Adrien and Capela.

    I would like to keep an eye on Black during the season and Ish Smith because of his playmaking. The offense is so smooth with him out there.

    Canaan and Garcia can be replaced IMO. For now.

    I haven't seen his post defense on Kevin Garnett yet or his post defense period. Thats where Hayes excelled. Remember Rockets started Hayes at center for a year.

    KG is very likely halfway done on Offense so you probably will not see much of that.

    I was giving an example. Can't compare Black to Chuck Hayes. Hayes was an awepost defender he was able to take on guys much taller than him because of his strength in the post. I'm not sure if Black is to that level. I do like Black's ability to track the ball and rebound though, both offensive and defensive..very impressive.

    She'd definitely score more than Tarik, but I wouldn't be able to listen to Bill and Bull talk about "taking it to the hole" with a straight face anymore.

    Are you talking about Duke? He would've done wonders for last year's team.
