I actually think for once we will be okay vs the cupcakes because our two best players, Donnie and White, are inside guys and as they proved last night they can absolutely takeover over an dominate on physical ability alone. Betsy and Kyle are also of the similar mould. Inside guys have a lot less variability.

The last few years (other than Red year 1) we have had players who who would fit right in on the cupcakes from an athletic standpoint meaning coaching would need to make the difference and we all saw how that went. And they were mostly perimeter guys.

[USER=8907]RedtheGOB[/USER] made a great point... if Red can simplify the offense so it becomes a two man game with Donnie and George and the team plays D like they are supposedly practicing, we could surprise. For the first time in a long time I honestly believe the talent is there to at least compete with the big boys... is the coaching?

This will be controversial, but last year we were begging for the hoops version of Fran... someone who could bring in talent. Maybe this year is showing that Red is the hoops version of Fran... he can bring in the talent but he can't coach them up without the truly elite top end guys.
