    Bull said something towards the end of the game. I think black got an alley oop and he goes "he was higher than Charlie sheen" lol.

    He stopped himself after that.

    I loved his voice when he retracted that, I think he was legit worried about getting fired for a second. :p

    Why compare this guy to Scola? He's way more versatile.

    What I love is the fact that he is already using some of Mchale's training to good use. You can see the influence of Mchale on so me of our players. If Kostas can develop post moves like this and shoot the three consistently he'll be exactly what we needed Parsons to be and more. Could he be our new Robert Horry?

    I think you're giving McHale too much credit. Is there something specific that had been mentioned? Kostas was already a pretty crafty player before he got here.

    This should be standard drill for all our players. Since they're gonna be facing a lot of good shotblockers.

    If you can't go over, go under--such a smart strategy.

    I'm really liking what I'm seeing in him so far. He's not afraid to take the shot but finds ways to get the ball to a teammate in a better position to score. When he found Ariza under the basket and somehow got the ball to him I was very impressed.

    With Ariza and K-Pap our SF rotation looks stronger then it did last season, when Chandler was our primary SF.
