Meanwhile our frontcourt has been a terrific today.
Feels like watching an average big ten game. If you had told me we would only get 12 point out of McGhee and peebles I wouldn't be confident about winning. All 3 of our forwards really stepped up today along with porter and his 9 assists. This might have been one of our best team wins.

Playing Preston and Shiloh together was genius on McKay's part. And Porter makes it exciting with his passes in the paint and especially alley-op passes above the rim for easy dunks! :shock:

Although I don't have a problem with the idea of Ritchie and genius being used in the same sentence, I suspect that Shiloh and Blake playing at the same time had more to do with Rode being in early foul trouble.

Back in your day Chuck Taylor’s were all the rage.

In addition to Kyles foul trouble, another reason Blake and Shiloh were both on the court so much was that Cleveland was not available (I'm assuming lingering effects of his illness.) It worked out pretty well. Maybe we will see more of it, but I don't see Ritchie cutting Kyle's minutes much. Maybe play a big lineup against some matchups, with all 3 of them in the game.

I thought the market for white Pro Keds was for fundy women wearing jean skirts because they don't believe in wearing pants. :wink:
