And because we may never play TT in anything ever again, I have to take the opportunity to post it:

TTL David needs to continue to try to create shots. Just because he hasn't hit the pull up consistently yet doesn't mean he should stop making that move. It will fall for him. He is talented and athletic enough that the pull up can be a weapon.
He is talented and athletic. He just can't shoot from range off the dribble. He never has since I've seen him. I like him getting to the basket, and shooting off the catch.

I could be wrong, you know more about ball than I do. I just don't see him getting good shots when he tries to create and shoot from range. And I don't know how that's going to get better, when he's consistently airballing and missing where it's not even close. I love him getting to the rim, he's athletic and big enough to take bumps and get to the rim.

Oh gosh. Can you imagine if we actually called an LU game?

TTL- "And Evan misses again. COME ON, UNBELIEVABLE. CAN YOU MAKE A SHOT?"

SJ- "We're up 20. Also, the jersey's look really nice."

I like our balance. No one is forcing it.

Gordon 2 for 5 so he is letting the game come to him, Minaya 4 or 8 continues to perform,

8
6
5
4
4
3

Balanced scoring...
Outrebounding them 27-15

Pretty good 1st half. Joel has played well except for the Free Throws. I like he and Burrus on the floor at the same time. Burrus at the 4 is more of a natural position for him IMO.

I like this team. Layer has them playing hard and unselfishly. Let's see if they can finish.

Ha, that made me laugh out loud. I'd also make a comment about how someone wanted to chant something stupid or there's someone being dumb in the blue seats.

TTU ball to start the half.

Blocking call on the first play. Jesse picks up his 3rd.

PxP guy for opposing team: "Whoah! The LU play by play guy just jumped into the stands and started punching this kid who is wearing a Flamefans t-shirt!"

TTU misses, grabs its own board, and Brown with a foul inside.

They beat our zone inside to the big for an easy one.

30-28 LU.

Missed runner, LU.

Our zone isn't very good, we leave them open for 3. 31-30 Tech.

They foul us down low as we feed the post. Our bigs are getting great position.

We miss another close one, they wind up with it out of bounds.

And we miss another close one. :roll:

And then we can't grab a rebound, ball goes OB to TTU.

Another open 3 out of the zone, timeout LU.

Can we please play man-to-man? They've got back into this because of the zone.

36-30, TTU.

Evan creates a shot, 36-32 TTU.

TTU gets inside, makes an easy one uncontested. 38-32 TTU.

Turnover, easy basket for TTU. Stupid turnover, leaving your feet to pass is rarely a good idea if you don't know where you're passing.

LU misses, TTU misses, Evan misses a 3. Long rebound goes out of bounds, and it's LU ball. Timeout.

40-32 TTU.

Well, at least we played well and competed in the first half. The Flames are starting to wear down.

Evan up and under down low, 40-34 TTU.

TTU schools us off the dribble and hits another one. 42-34.

Minaya with another catch and shoot 2. 42-36.

We lose the ball out of bounds off a missed shot. TTU ball.
