A quick recap of the very first game against an opponent that was better suited for the D-League in my opinion because despite being rather frisky in terms of doing everything okay they had no real superstars to compete on this level. With a deep bench (and by that I mean 4 players), we were prime for action. I of course was on the IR or the DNP list with my surgery just having been completed a week prior. Well what can i say other than a great start to season #2....an easy double digit victory with J.A. showing us what all the hype was about.
Granted he was a bit raw and unpolished, he brought new energy and a large presence in the middle of our 2-3 zone that we have not had in many seasons since J.G. I will be honest when i say i do not love his jump shot, but his athleticism makes him a very tough player to handle inside from the free throw line and in. Also back in the fold D.H. showed up with an extra 10-15 pounds since the last time I have seen him which is not a good thing when you are 5-6. I was extremely disappointed with that revelation. A.J. our third off-season acquisition looks to be just like the departed M.D. but maybe a little bit better with the ball in his hands.
Overall, I think we might have something here but it is too early to tell at this point. All I know is we are 1-0 , and a good start to the season is always important. However, I for one am miserable "watching" and not participating in these games. I am at least 5 weeks away from making my debut this season...this is harder than I thought...
