I'm absolutely loving the positive energy flowing from the guys. They look as excited as we are about the upcoming season. I have a feeling we are gonna have one of the more well-rounded rosters in the NBA this season. With that i mean everyone knows their job and they'll all be hungry to go out there and get it done. hopefully trying to out do themselves in the process, and securing more proficient PT. Exciting times!!!

I love how everyone is saying Hibbert moves much better than advertised.

Scoot,
I know its easy to take a big swig of the perverbial "kool-aid" but I really think the Rookies will be even better then advertised.
The biggest challenge I think is how to reduce the ammount of fouls per game. I think we were last in FT differential last year.
sily question but how do you "work on not fouling" in practice?

You don't, you just work on the Bruce Bowen method. ie still fouling but being able to get away with it.

You work on fundamentals. You work on footwork. You work on form, such as no hand checks, keeping up with guys without having to bump or grab. There's also a lot of instinct that goes into it.
