I wonder what our shooting percentage is behind 3 pt line and who is our best. To say this team can be as good as some of the teams from the mid 90's is a bit of a stretch. Those teams consistently won, despite the occasional blowout. It seems like this team occasionally wins despite the blow outs. I hope that changes. But I will jump on the one win band wagon, just don't ask me who

Paradox, lb actually had 29 in the championship against high point. Dees was a solid player, no need to bash him. He did take a step forward in his sophomore year, and was named to first team all-state along with larry. I would say that is a nice accomplishment. Also, in the game against St. Joe's it seemed as if Dees was the only one who seemed to show up and be ready to play.

It's funny you never mentioned Blair as one of the TEAM players.....I guess him and Dees had more in common than you would like to admit.....their stats are very similar, especially their sophomore seasons.

It's kinda hard to argue Dees was not the reason we won some games

Dees brought the 1-2 punch offensively in the backcourt, I still wish things would have worked out

I think the entire team lacked leadership last year..........Besides several players came from high school that appeared to be lazy.....Carmelo Anthony was criticized like that in high school, and he went on to win a NCAA championship. I don't think you can prove whether a player was soft....How can that be concluded??? Only the person who is playing defense can truly say if he/himself is playing soft.

It's gonna be ok. Just take a deep breath and repeat after me: Dunton was right. And afterward I think you'll feel like a load has been lifted and those dark feelings will disapear. :wink:
The hots...okay I will laugh that one off because it is Christmas........I will kill myself before admitting that someone like him was not wrong......Dunton was wrong....period....

Go suck at the tits and maybe you will feel better.....but, remember he wont be around for long.

As a TRUE Cubs fan I would like to make a "Flame Law" that all talk of "Wait till next year" be shelved. Last year it was "Wait till we get Brew" This year it is "What till Brew is eligible" now we have "What till we have TJ". The Cubs have a CORNER on the NEXT YEAR. Let's focus on THIS year.
As for shooting percentages, nice to see we have a few in the 40% range but comparably, and I have no idea, how many have they jacked? SCAR can go out in his driveway and hit 1 of 2 and be 50% Mid to high 30's is not too horrible for 3pt percentage
