I believe the Things being Said by K-Mac, last Year, were Pretty Tame, compared with what was being Said, on this Board, by some who had been Watching Our Pickup Games.

He's a biiiigggg, strong looking youngster. They'd better not let Coach Taggert see him. He makes Steff and Juan look kinda average sized. Its hard to imagine he's an eighteen year old.

Looks like he can play too.

I like the hype. Who wants to hear that their team looks like a piece of crap in summer practice. The hype makes the start of the season more exciting wondering if what has been said is true. If you have been around long enough you learn to take the summer practice discussions with a grain of salt anyway. It is sort of like when you were young and wondered about Santa Claus. You find it hard to believe. Then you get the great present and go hum maybe. The next present may not be so good and you wonder again. But the wonder is what is fun.

i wasn't sure if that one would work or not d'cee....

it was made for technological releases.

i guess we could equate the 'technology release' with a first hand account via the interwebs.....aka 'h.h.'

i'll definitely settle for the 'plateau of productivity' hoping it comes earlier in the season than expected.

In this interview it seems like Kmac is setting up to under-promise and over-deliver. While he also seems to be realizing that he's getting ready to go through a big challenge. But also when he talks about playing big time opponents he clearly isn't scared and that seems to translate into his teams.

I like that he addressed the confidence issue and I'm wondering why he didn't call it swag?

Sounds like the teams conditioning is going well. I think last year's team clearly was behind a step so maybe this new guy has built them back up.

Juan is becoming a haven pickup legend and kmac seems to be adding to the hype.

Defense will be key as many others have pointed out just a few more stops here and there and the season changes. Personally I'd like to see more defense to offense strategies deployed. Last year it seemed like there would be a steal then pass to AJ or Sally and they would hold the ball and settle for the halfcourt play. That's crap somebody needs to be throwing outlet passes - somebody please. I think our new guards will look to fly down the court and that should fix those problems. All of the big men can fly down the court to see it makes sense to attack with speed when there's an opportunity.

If this team doesn't play a more up tempo style of game then i might join Dahbeed an call it clownball or whatever it is. With the combo of bigs and guards we have this season we would be foolish not to run. I think thats why we saw Cliff look so lost on both ends at times last season because he likely wasn't very experienced in half court sets.

Cliff, Juan, Pett and Serge should all be constantly running out of the frontcourt as long as Ken Brown or Jamal pushes the pace which they both should be able to do. I think even Teeng once he gets on the court he likes to run as well. So assuming K-Mac isn't completely incompetent then i think this should be a very fun team to watch.
