Re: Game 3: Wolves (0-2) vs. Magic (2-1)
And here we go.
Hopefully Wittman picked up some sneaky little tricks to use against them when he was an assistant there two years ago...

Excellent move by McCants on that first possession.

It'll be easier if we're playing against this team with a head coach Wittman coached under. Hill?

Woooo McCants is a guy that I am starting to like, he's a little reckless when he puts his head down but man can he score.

Yes, it was Hill. I was just kidding, by the way. Everyone is so well-scouted such things are practically meaningless. The trick isn't knowing what people will do, but stopping them.

Another nice move by McCants. Nice drive. And both shots featured some hesitation and a second move on the shot.

Nice tip in by McCants!! Our young guys seem to know how to strip the ball on opposing teams drives..

2 early fouls on Turkoglu, which is a good news for us.

That is easier to do with some nice lane defenders, such as Ratliff (our first true shot-blocking threat ever) and Jefferson.

Maybe we finally got something out of McCants when we first drafted him? Let's hope so!

I liked the McCants pick alot even though most didn't. He was a great athlete, great shooter and just knew how to score. He brings some attitude and lots of heart.

I don't think that insinuation is fair at all. Finally? It's his third season, and he spent last season recovering from microfracture surgery in his knee! This is the "new ACL," the scourge of basketball. And as a rookie, he averaged 7.9 ppg, and double figures after the Wally trade (when he played more minutes). And then when you remember he came out a year early...to say "finally" when we are for all practical purposes three games into his second season shows a lack of patience.

I hated the pick, by the way. I thought Danny Granger would have been the better pick (and still do). But while we have him, I want to cheer for him. And he certainly has his strengths.

It may be too early into the season, but that's what I have been wanting to see it from him. Get aggressive early into the game, make some big plays along the line.
