Shots fired; Cubby gettin called out for his hilarious Hedo prediction. Of course, his most long-standing correct prediction is also his most annoying: O & __.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
^That was the last, you know objective, sensible, run of the mill prediction I've ever done. I screwed up there and I've never lived it down. That gd DUNCAN is the one who kept it close to his vest, then slyly baited me into it one nite. I denied it because I figured nobody would have it..."never said such, DUNCAN." Not two minutes later he pasted it up.
Good fun though. Why? Why, did I do that? I knew better even when I was doing it. Not so much the opinion of the players, but, that wasn't me. That was out of character and I've paid the price ever since.
That damn DUNCAN. That little shit.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
Can someone let me know how Len looked out there today?

Leandro broke his hand!
Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
Len moved well and he got decent position on rebounds, thats pretty much it. He had stone hands all night and there were 2 or 3 shots he should have dunked and didn't even finish. I'm going to assume it was nerves as the reason for the Tsakalidis hands, otherwise thats gonna be a problem.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
Can anyone name someone who initially had brick hands but then got better. Maybe there's hope of a transplant when Stat retires. As far as I can see thats his only body part that still works. Perhaps we can trade for it.
Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
I don't recall him having bad hands at Maryland, so I don't know if it's going to always be a concern. To me it usually looked like he was trying make moves before he actually caught the ball.
Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
sorry for all the questions (I couldnt watch the game) but was todays effort likely enough to put him ahead of randolph in the pecking order when plumee comes back or not?

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
What I don't understand is what in the Hell was Donough thinking? Sweet Jesus. He was clomping around last nite like Big Foot.
Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
I can really tell Len has been hitting the weight room. His biceps looked big last night. Right now it just seems like he's rushing everything. Once the game slows down for him I think we'll see a big improvement. From what I can tell the kid works hard and is hungry. I have high hopes for his future.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
Ya. I think it's nerves. When he looked good a month or so ago, his hands weren't bad and I don't think he had bad hands at Maryland. Last night he looked like he was over-thinking everything instead of relying on instincts.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Plumlee sat a few more games so Len could get in to some sort of groove.

Re: Is Alex Len a bust?
Ok then it wasn't just me, his mind was 3 steps ahead of his body last night.
