Well, at least one of my pregame hopes came true.
I clearly asked for shorter, more concise post from DogMania.
He starts a thread with a three line post and follows up after the first reply with a 1 1/2 liner. Good use of emoticons in leiu of words too.
The rest of the stuff I was hoping to see?
40 minutes of consistent quality ball? We got the first five minutes.
Good, aggressiver play from AO? Next.
A solid rotation at the 3 from RS, DD and NG? Mixed. DD hit a nice three early on, RS grabbed some good boards in traffic and NG played good minutes once the game was decided. Overall, not great, but we've seen worse.
So, the team gets punched in the mouth and folded quicker than Brock Lesnar, but at least DogMania isn't so wordy. Overall, a push on the night.
