i gotta study our line up more cant get use to all these high numerals on jerseys
J’Von coming on strong. Need to close this one out and not give these guys any hope. A thunderous Okoro jam would be welcome to ice it.
Not far from what I expected tonight. JVon will only get better being the man, and Okoro will only get more and more comfortable scoring the ball.
Really need Wiley, Samir, and Pure to average 12-14 a piece this year.

Why does Austin coat his hands in butter during timeouts..
probably not gonna cover tonight but not worried you guys.
If we don’t have 25 turnovers we win this game by 20+. I’ll chalk that up to an anomaly.
Getting a bit melatonin dizzy now & seeing young Isaac out there wearing the jersey number of FISH, while listening to the commentary lol.
anyway. Not to be all up our own ass, but I think the Greg residents got it right and some of the of the major au beat writers didn't. Okoro was the backup 4 and jaylin williams wasn't. Watched a whole 20 minute youtube preview of the season tonight where JGT didn't even consider it.
Boog win. Looking forward to friday. Legggggggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Great win. Bama loses to NAIA level school and we beat a tournament team.
Thoughts:
Bench will have to step up a little bit offensively.
This MIGHT not be a year where we make a deep run, but I predict this team will be fun to watch. Especially in the Clam.
I’m drunk.

I think I saw that we had sold our allotment @USA, so I'm thinking BRUCE has acquired a ton of StubHub stock. Also it's more than apparent that Prince Steven has him reading the Greg from all these comments.
was only able to watch the first half before recording the podcast... I had the second half going on the iPad off to the side and could follow the score but wasn’t really able to watch, so I’m looking forward to diving in later tonight and seeing what I missed
and yes, the golf pod is still a thing... if you haven’t listened in a while I don’t blame you because we weren’t very good in the beginning... I’m not sure if we’re good now or not, but we’re definitely better and more consistent, so don’t forget about us... and it’s slowly morphing from generic golf talk into 3 buddies talking mainly about golf but throwing enough shit from off the course that it’s not super stuffy and boring and elitist
if you like Tiger you’ll like episodes 15 and 16... if you hate Brooks you’ll really like episodes 15 and 16... if you hate hipsters you’ll love episode 16... and if you have thoughts on how to recognize good or bad golfers simply by their attire and gear, then you’ll love this weeks episode 17, as Steve and Jase help me as I plan my triumphant return to the game next spring from a self-induced retirement

Glad it’s Bball season again on the Greg. Football season almost seemed to kill the board.
Thoughts on the game. I have been expecting us to be a slow down, 70-75 point a game team. And we may be against some different squads. Regardless, to have 25 TO’s, Javon having a bad first 30 minutes, and nothing from Ant, I’m impressed that we got to 83. And I think I was wrong about where we’ll be scoring wise. I think Samir and DP will be 15-20 pt scorers and Wiley, Javon and Okoro can be in the 10-13 range. We are going to look different but I think we can be really good. That was an athletic, competent team even without their supposed #1 player. They’ll blow past 20 wins....so will we!
Sure hope Jovon isn’t a player who HAS to come off the bench to be effective. Really the biggest concern for me now. We could survive with that but I think we’ll be at our best when he’s playing fast and confident and being productive as a starter. Cap’n obvious I guess...but War Damn. It’s back!!

Won comfortably enough that it never really got dicey the 2nd half. Some takeaways:
Cambridge a baller. +19 in 15 mins what a blessing. Looks bigger than I expected but that may have been cause he had on some baggy long sleeve T and leggings. I think he may have technically been playing the 4 when he was in with Okoro but regardless we didn’t see Ant at the 4. No surprise Bruce and the Greg aligned there.
Sammy looked nice. Danjel too. He’s gotta be able to help Jvon break pressure and looked more comfortable with that after the first few mins.
Austin an unstoppable force. Numbers don’t lie even though his mistakes always seem to stand out.
Not worried about Jvon or Ant. Ant looked flat though and he’s kinda got a history of just having games here and there where he’s just not effective and then next game he’ll just ball.
Ty Jones only playing 1 min a little alarming. PG play in general was not great but Jvon had a good 2nd half and his stat line ended up being not horrible. Sammy mostly did a good job there so that’s a plus.
All in all it’s a dub. Georgia So as unskilled as they are was actually pretty athletic. Prob more so than the rest of our OOC slate. Still plenty of room for our D to improve was annoying seeing them throw up trash around the basket all night that should have been thrown into the upper deck.

Sup gang. After a nights sleep and a nice night at the clam I have some thoughts.
okoro is a man child. what a freak. We already knew that though. Hopefully he wants to play with his best friend RIFE cuz we can win the whole thing in 2020-2021. Speaking of Sharife was sitting real close to the AU bench going crazy for young Isaac.
disappointing debut for TURBO. Samir got all the backup 1 minutes and I’m not sure that’s sustainable against top competition. Bruce mentioned he’ll give him another run Friday against Davidson.
DJP had to have lost 20+ lbs in the offseason. He looked great and very engaged. Night and day different from last year
cambridge and Jamal shocked me. For awhile they looked like the only ones not scared to launch 3s.
Overall I’m ok with the performance. I think they can develop into a very good team come tourney time. Most athletic squad we’ve had under BRUCE. looking forward to playing that pesky Davidson team.

Some KenPom nerd numbers from last night:
Offensive Efficiency Rating (100 is considered average)
Samir - 123
Danjel - 135 (!)
OKORO - 107
Wiley - 88 (5 TOs killed this)
Mac - 56 (puke)
Cambridge - 156 (my word)
Jamal - 126
Allen and turbo - N/A
For comparison, last year Jared averaged 117, Bryce averaged 119, and Chuma averaged 119.
EDIT: Cambridge was actually at 165 and J’von was 75.
