Addition by subtraction!?

Did anyone in their right minds say we would be better because Boat is gone? I missed that.

A few people, but none of them were in their right mind.

Mostly it is misunderstanding what "addition by subtraction" means. (i.e. a team improves (addition) by getting rid of someone (subtraction)).
 
Quite frankly, there is an old adage in sports - don't blueprint this season off of last season. Every year the guys are somewhat different, chemistry unknown and the competition has regrouped.
I liked Boat and got to meet his large family and they were very nice. He played hard and had a passion to win - did he always execute like I would have liked; of course not. But, big picture he did a lot. The same crew that dumped on AD a few years ago are back at it.

At any rate, some have asked me to break down next year - it's too early yet. I will say this both Adams and Enoch can shoot. And if you have followed my posts I don't say that about a lot of guys.

No, @msgordon , I can't imagine who you were talking about.

Well let's think who would ask @Chief00 for his breakdown. Coach Calhoun, Coach Ollie, Drummond, Boatright (and his large family, whom I hear are very nice btw), maybe a UConn b!tch or two.. Just the usual people who seek Chief's guidance and counsel, no biggie.

That picture is legit! Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk, Steve Cabellero, Tommy Guerro (?). The rest I can't name. In search of Chin I believe...the Powell Peralta crew in their hay day. I'll have to do a Google search now. Good lookin out and quite simply an awesome find! Thanks.
