what glaring problem not addressed. why is this team consistently getting down by double digits!
that's the big question.
the other thing that drives me nuts is Monson 'we always start man to man'. so why? really, why be so predictable? if you think you'll be better in zone, then crap start in zone. do you think you'll be better starting with Silva? well, start with Silva
now for required reading towards the team's new years resolutions
LT: I will practice with my left hand so I can post on the left side
AT: I will make FTs
Tsohonis: I will not throw up another brain-fart 3 pt shot (I didn't check to see if his fingers were crossed)
Jones: I will ask for my first shot to be off a screen and curl.
AJ: lifting weights
Messiah: I'm just gonna suck it up to make plays to make my teammates better and not worry about shooting
Stroud: I am never gonna turn a lay up into a heave pass back towards half court again
Lewis, Silva, Hart: I'm gonna literally nail the closest guy on teh court to block out, even if I get called for a foul.
Polynice: not sure, I'm trying to do what the coaches ask, maybe get better laterally
Monson: "I will finally start learning to do new things, it's never too late. I will start promoting the program. I'll be at the IHOP on Bellflower Tues morning for questions. I will teach the following relentlessly.
“Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.:– Dale Carnegie
ccman: I will Eat more fluffy pancakes, you know the ones that rise instantly when you turn them over; and speak even more with those that disagree. I will write the govenor, senator, President, and congressman every day to not abandon the Ukrainian people.
