Message: [QUOTE="jimva, post: 5126740, member: 6175"] Some crazy takes and overreactions here, but this is the boneyard and we are arrogant and spoiled. My takes from the game: [LIST] [*]Reed is better than Johnson in almost all situations [*]Johnson is what he is and can continue to provide the energy he did last year but it’s wrong to ask more of him than that [*]right now Mahaney is not the answer at PG, but don’t know if there is a better option at this point. Maybe gets better or someone else develops as season progresses. [*]Liam is a freshman and played like one in the first half, but came up big in the last 3 min. [*]the “sophomores” are good and I think will develop as season progresses. While they didn’t play a lot last year they did practice a lot in the system and should know it. [*]Hurley’s T didn’t lose this game. That happened through play/coaching decisions over the previous 40 min. But it was a bad look. [*]Memphis is a better team than their current ranking and they deserve credit for a great game. [*]going forward every team we play is going to try to replicate their plan until we figure it out. I think we will. [/LIST] For all those with the crazy takes. We won it all last year in a dominant fashion. We also got smacked around be Seton Hall. And before anyone says we only lost because Clingan got hurt. I was at that game and we were getting smacked around before he got hurt. I don’t think we are as good a team as last year, but might be good enough, only time will tell. There will be bumps in the road and some frustrating/maddening loses, but here were some last year, and the year before. [/QUOTE]
