Some teams will play centers that would squash him, some teams will play centers that he might start over. We'll see what happens but I don't see many a scenario in which he'd ever need to lead the front court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 As for starters I think we'll see a total of 8 different guys start throughout the season - Yuri, Nesbitt, Perkins, Okoro, Linssen, Hargrove, Jimerson, Thatch. In no particular order after the first three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point in the exhibitions, the Swede and Hargrove will play the 4 and 5, and Thatch will pound home a dunk, without any other blue jersey in the lane. dennis_w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinert310 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I was told Traore looked better than expected. What did you guys think of him in the open practice? Obviously not expecting him to play many minutes this year, but going forward, what did you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - he can’t defend a true big man. Never once played the lone big man role in any lineup in any of the scrimmages.

Ahead of where a guy like Diarra was/is IMO, but a step down from last year Bell. He didn’t look bad defensively, didn’t do awesome rebounding the ball, but I can’t imagine other teams are going to be able to run out guys as good as Linssen or Okoro CBFan and NH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF has always stated his most intense, “win at all cost” players ever were Smart and Goodwin. He very recently stated Nesbitt appears ready to make this elite list a trifecta, albeit a bit too early to be 100% certain. Has all the earmarks. And, as a side note to those who care, I would be shocked if SLU is not in the Big East by the end of next week… Just as a recap, this post got the whole BE gravy train rolling. It has been interesting to watch this mushroom into the mess it has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Lorentsson is going to be good. I I hope he doesn't get frustrated by the lack of playing time this year. With Perkins and most likely Linssen moving on after this year, he could step into a significant role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older fans like me do not like the digital tickets but it is the only way I can get in. I figured this was coming so it’s time for me to learn how to use it. I still print out my Southwest tickets even though it’s on my phone. I printed out seven six flags passes plus 7 fright passes last weekend, I am a mess and a tree hater.

I think going digital-only is a bad decision that potentially alienates segments of the fanbase. Digital + print if requested is the sweet spot IMO.

I wasn't sure if they were going digital only similar to the Blues/Cardinals. Mine are in my phone. Can anyone tell me how to get them into Apple Wallet? I have an iphone SE (the original older one) and have had no trouble getting Cardinal tickets and TicketBastard concert tickets into Wallet. I seem to recall having this problem with a ticket to a Women's postseason seat in 2020 prior to everything shutting down due to covid. I hit the button "add to Apple Wallet", the button kind of acts like it's been pressed but the tickets never make it to Wallet. Any help for an MBM?
