Looks like Mikki is out and Thompson is in as the starting 4 effective tommorow. :clap:

Well deserved. Jason does what Mikki does better than Mikki. Hopefully he can cut down on the mistakes though.

Gotta love it when Logic prevails, wish that had happened in November.

I agree with you guys. JT earned it hustling after the ball, banging bodies, going to the floor, just whatever it took to get an extra possession.

Way to go JT :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thank god. Mikki was really frustrating to watch, he just did nothing out there. I hope JT can make the most of this.

He just needs to remember not to get frustrated by the foul calls. He tends to let it get to him and then get plinked with several in a row. He needs to just turn around and walk away and then come back next play working just as hard if not harder so that he can earn the refs' respect for his PLAY and thus get the calls to go his way as well.

Rookies tend to act like rookies occasionally but I would take any of his rookie mistakes over MM's veteran 4/4 a night. JT will do great, I just wish we would have done it sooner but hey we can get a great PG in the draft anyway. And I feel good that we are just a PG away from being contenders again. I am very happy having Coach Carril back too so we know what offense everyone is running.

I guarantee Coachie and Shareef (18/8 guy in his career) will make JT a very good player.
