We won a game! We need to organize a parade or something.

Sorry about you father Cap. Hope he wakes up soon.

I like this Shaq Harrison kid. Good athlete and defender. Plays within himself on offense.

Agreed. Definitely best D League pg we've seen yet. I think he has a future.

I noticed that our players really seem to like him too.

Will keep him in my prayers. Godspeed to you and yours.

I think it says something good about Traino's coaching that each of our G-league fill-ins have looked pretty good in short stretches. M James looked good to start the season, Ulis had about 20 games of good play, Canaan was solid, even Gray had his moments. Eventually their size or talent deficiencies catch up with them, but they seem to plug in and contribute pretty well right away.

Shaq has NBA size and athleticism. I'm not sure he's skilled enough offensively to sick as a regular rotation guy, but he's been impressive defensively.

Fun fact. We have had 15 PGs play alongside Booker in his first 3 years. This does not count when we go big and Booker is the PG next to guys like Daniels and LB.

Bledsoe
Knight
Payton
Price
Goodwin
Pressey
McRae
Brown
Cotton
Ulis
Canaan
James
Gray
Harrison
Johnson

Sorry to hear that, Cap. Hoping for the best and will be thinking about you and your family. Please let us know if you get any updates.

A. March of 96

Q. What do you call it when your planned Million Man March comes up 999,904 short of the goal?
