    First of, we won! it was basically a close game through the whole thing, but we managed to pull it out. The guys that really impressed me during the game were Langhi, Mooch, Young, Washington, and Kenny T (at least in the 4th).

    Langhi was really lighting it up, he reminded me a lot of toni kukoc, except without the great passing skills. He really has some game, and i'm pretty sure he'll be getting about 20 minutes a night when the season starts.

    Mooch was just doing a good job distributing the ball (mainly to langhi). he shot really well too, we're so lucky that we have such a capable back-up for stevie.

    Washington really impressed me with his defense and tenacity on the boars, so did Dench actually. they did so much better then collier. i would much rather see these to in the line up then collier. i didn't want to say anything about him till i saw him play, but really dissapointed me with his lack of hustle. he just stood around without really playing defense (mihm totally dominated him), or rebounding. and when he got the ball on offense he just passed it back. i was really dissapointed with collier.

    Thomas did a good job in the fourth taking over the game and building up a lead. before that he was kind of lackadaisical, and didn't really do much. but then he exploded.

    Young showed that he had a lot of offensive firepower, as did boiseman. these two probably won't get spots, but it would be nice to see them in the nba.

    In cleveland the guy that really impressed me was tractor trailer. man. this kid came out to play. he was just pushing guys around. like that time he sent langhi flying. i was pretty impressed. i would much rather have him then collier. and if you say that he's overweight, then you should have seen him run the court to get that jam. that was nice.

    on a final note... Langhi has hops! wow, that follow of the young (or was it boisman) miss. that was nice, and the missed alley-oop; he was head and shoulders above the rim. i like this kid.
