You guys have GOT to start making these shorter
Seriously, I love them and all—and it was GREAT to hear from BCRaj…but can we get it so that it’s at least as short as the real PTI? How about a 15 minute version?
(and in related news)
I don’t subscribe to the “we’re better off without Rese Rice” theory that many have bought into. I’m also apparently the opposite of Raj when it comes to Southern. I thought he wasn’t terribly good and questioned having him the past couple of years, but I think he’s starting to show a little bit of Kevin Duckworth-like zero-hopps-but-valuable promise.
Yeah, we need to work on making these shorter.
Like, constraining them to the same time constraints that the show has. Thanks for the feedback.
im glad you made it through the hour alive
We’re better off in the long run without tyrese rice, because we will be running an offense, vs. dribbling at the top of the key for 20 secs. Whether that results in more wins, only time will tell. Maybe we’ll just be awful because no one can score consistently.
Kevin Duckworth at this age is not a good thing, atleast i dont think so. Southern has the tools offensively to score, but his lack of defense and terrible hands makes him more of a liability. In addition to that he isnt in the best of shape and fouls every 4-5 minutes. I had to jump of the southern ship this season, before it took on more water.
How can you not like Trapani
He hit numerous big shots last year. He can go to the bucket, rebound and shoot. He draws the other teams fours away from the hoop so that our other players can go to the basket. During many games he was the best player on our team. He’s the best we got at that position.
As far as he shouldn’t wear a head band because he’s white, that is ridiculous. Let him wear what he wants, head bands are not reserved for the overly athletic (even though Trapani is far from a stiff).
At
Its not about liking trapani...its about looking ridiculous
Let’s be honest the question is should he be wearing a headband. The answer is no, first of all it wouldn’t go well with his side part or his pale complexion. He’s a good solid fundamental player (not mvp), wearing a headband is for the flashy/athletic or people with style. Hey if you want to be the kid who shows up to the gym with the high socks and the headband, and possibly a neck tattoo more power to you. But everyone after the game is commenting on how retarded that looked. (Dont take this too seriously, we were just having some fun with that question). Jeff Van Gundy agrees with me though, players like matt carroll should not be wearing a headband.
Joe Trapani = matt carroll, yeah i said it.
And just some clarifications? Big Shots means what? (he contributed in games, i just don’t remember a game he won for us) Also i’ll give him a few games, but many games- let’s not push it.
