First time seeing the players

Cant wait to watch this game. Question though, is that Will Foster or a homeless man on stilts?

by Heister316 on Nov 14, 2009 4:42 PM PST reply actions  

It's anyone's best guess

The good question is who do you think would contribute more…Will or a homeless man on stilts?

YA, I don't want to say new era,

because the program is obviously well in place. But this is the team we will be watching for the next four years. Exciting stuff.

what troubles me

is that it is our old guys (matt and steven) doing it the most. combined they area 2-9 from deep. do they watch themselves on film and not realize they can get to the hoop at will?

I’m not sure he’s the leader yet! This is not an exibition game, it counts! Elias, Robert, Opie and Steven are playing well. I would like more GJ. This is my first time watching him and I want to see more.

I could be wrong..

but isn’t harris 2 or 3 years younger than Horford? Somebody needs to tell Fran that expression is more effective when comparing young players to veterans.

Not exactly they blowout I was hoping for but Elias looked brilliant and Bouldin overcame a horrid first half to close out the game well. I can’t imagine that they will be ready for MSU on Tuesday, at this point I am just hoping for a respectable loss with more positive PT from the youngsters.

by ZagsFanatic on Nov 14, 2009 7:08 PM PST reply actions  

This is a tough one to swallow!

Redshirt Sam, KO first off the bench, run up and down the floor wildly, very few set plays run. Poor Perimenter “D”. Little use of Manny vs KO, 3 minutes for Andy, Average play from the vets overall. High points: Elias, Robert, second half for Matt and Meech. Thats it!
