    Spanoulis's hustle seems to be contagious. Whole team going for loose balls

    VSpan is setting the tone for defense. He's our energy guy. Good decision by JVG.

    the thing is you know it'll be on sportscenter and you know they won't care he got hammered, they'll just laugh. just like when dahntay jones "posterized" yao a few games ago even though yao wasn't even over to contest the dunk by the time he had already dunked it. still makes #1 or #2 play.

    i don't get why laughing at yao is such a fun thing and why ESPN just seems to love it. he leads all-star voting all the time and it's not just chinese votes and yet somehow clowning yao is like the national pasttime no matter what he does.

    V-Span really needs to take the open shots or I can't see him getting much gametime in the future.

    Guys like Vspan and Chuck will bring up the intensity for the entire team, just like Sura used to do.

    Something I've noticed in most of our games is that we get way less FGA than the opponents. Part of it is because we get fouled on more possessions (I think we usually force other teams to foul us alot), part of it is because of TOs, and part of it is just because we get owned on rebounds without Chuck Hayes.

    We should be looking to do what we can to reduce the TOs and get rid of the rebounding differential as best we can- that way we don't have to have a great shooting night to win big.

    We cant win a game without a 25 point cushion.We score about 10 points every fourth quarter
