Glad to see he played well but that hairstyle is the real MVP.

If by MVP you mean OMG-awful, I agree.

 

[DoctahLexus]

What in the Shel Silverstein is that forearm tattoo??

If by jealous you mean throwing up in my mouth a little, then yes

That's exactly what I meant!

I expect the local media will ask him about it.

The word "style" should not be attached to- or associated with whatever that is.

It's the Outback Mullet.

Comes with a Bloomin' Onion!

 

[OptimusOtto]

I didn't watch either game, but if we get a contributor year one and an impact player year two, that falls in line with how I believe a roster should be developed.

Agreed - obviously easier said than done. Given our ability to keep Donnie gives me some hope the staff can retain talent they like year to year.

I think injuries played a large part in keeping Donnie. I could be wrong

 

[dollarbill44]

Fennell just had a beautiful pass to Furphy for the finish

He's ready for our end-of- half inbounds plays.

Injuries kept him from the NBA, but he could have gone anywhere to play.

NBA??? What in God’s name did anybody see last year from this kid that said NBA? Not even close. Could he develop? Of course. But I didn’t even see enough to say he’ll definitely be our 1st option next year.

He’s 6’10, rangy, athletic, shot 33% from 3, averaged 12 and 8 with very high upside. That’s enough for a 2nd round flyer

The NBA loves bigs like Freeman.

He's better suited to the NBA game.

More to the point, Freeman's injury convinced him he needed to stick around. Whether he actually would have been drafted or stuck is irrelevant.

Besides, he got visibly better in his games with us. He might have been a first round pick by the end of the year.

Either way, he's around for another year, to our advantage.

What in the Shel Silverstein is that forearm tattoo??

I think I see a dandelion in it. And either a strand of barbed wire that goes around the whole forearm or (better yet) a centipede.

Rooting for the centipede!

That's the one he got to cover up the scar when they had to sew his arm back on.

We probably shouldn't make fun of what could have been a career ending injury.

4-4 from 3 for Fennell today so far.

In 14 mins total. Not as good as +\- today at -7 while Aussies look like they will move on.

Was I fortunate enough to watch his worst game of the tournament?
