Great stuff RF. I felt like this year's team looked better than last year's. Maybe it was the opponent but I just got a sense that this group was actually willing to defend where last year's group it felt like they went long stretches caring nothing about defending or playing as a team.

It will be interesting to see ( if everyone passes their next CoVid test) if the isolation was because of MoM who couldn't defend us mtm very well at all vs a strategy or lack there of.

Watched the game again last night and despite the shooting struggles, there were just far fewer I'll advised shots than we have seen in the past. Donte actually played a good game and I am just as big a critic of him. He did some nice things early on and again later on. The biggest dissappointment was DNic. White was quiet but still I felt was effective in spots.

I think this team does have the talent to win it, but more like they have pieces that fit together better vs just talent. The shooters have to be on their game pct wise for that to happen but if they do, then winning it is most definitely not the craziest possibility.

As for missing guys, Chris would have been a beast. That one hurt. I love Lydon but in watching him since he has been a pro, his game still hasn't really progressed that much. I think that he gives maybe more offense than Rayman but maybe a Kong (Colgate version) is better while you have a ringer in Devo and some other guys who can get theirs vs another guy who needs 12 shots a game.

At the end of the day, this is Eric's team to lead. If he stays hot and the other guys pick it up, no reason we couldn't win this thing in this bizarro world version of the tbt .
