"Game slowing down" for him feels like cheating, tbh.

So far, media has interviewed Kemba, Jaylen, Jayson, Smart, Thompson, Teague, Theis, Nesmith, Pritchard, Edwards, Semi, Grant, Timelord.

AFAIK, no Langford, Waters, Tacko, Javonte, Amile yet.

I’d just like to report that as I get into my 50s the game is doing the opposite of slowing down for me.

But carry on, all you youngins!

As I get into my 50s, the only things slowing down are my body and my mind. :oops:

My new tattoo when my guy is available (super backed up for obvious reasons) is "My Mind is Willing but the Body Resists) from the song "Enough" from Toad the Wet Sprocket. So fitting in so many ways for 2020. I might add the next line, "The Fighting's Over but the Pain Persists", but I have time to decide on that one. Actually I have time for the whole thing.

those are good, but for me it's more like "the spirit is willing, But my body says F*ck You!"

Haha. Solid choices, but I’m a teacher and it’s going on the inside of my forearm, so that might not go over so well.

Man, you forget how big Tacko is. I know that Theis is only 6'8" at best but he only comes to the top of Fall's shoulder.

I do hope Stevens goes out of his comfort zone and his predictable rotations, and get those damn rookies some consistent minutes. I have a good feeling they could contribute at the get go. I’m gonna get pissed if they get garbage time. Do it Stevens!

It’s looking pretty steady.
Think the game’s probably slowing down for it.

The roster has a gaping hole for Nesmith to get lots of minutes, so I think Danny (who says he learned years ago not to bring in a vet to block a young player you want to develop) is giving Brad that very message — develop this asset! It’ll depend on his ability to defend, but here’s hoping. He could get an easy 12ppg from open corner 3s.

Looks like he will get to play 5 mins in the first half, and probably get benched the following game, if Stevens gets his way lol! Feel bad for Nesmith and Pritchard already :lol:

I agree he could easily score 12pts on corner and open 3’s if given the chance.

Man, I haven't listened to Toad the Wet Sprocket in forever. I might have to dig out my old CDs.
