Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 3432296, member: 67"] [B][SIZE=6]"It ain't size of the Husky in the fight, its the size of the fight in the Husky" [/SIZE][/B] Hurley said Cincy punked us last game. They were huge, ugly and quite frankly looked intimidating. When Vital pushed that kid as if ready to go to blows, his teammates lost all timidity and joined in the fight. I saw no fear, no backing down and the gloves came off. Carlton 'illegally' throwing giants to the ground then laughing Akok the thin man was banging with anyone who wanted to try him, even was rewarded with a bloody nose. Bouk looked like he got a hip pointer but continued with a slight limp destroying his opponent Whaley was on the ground taking Cincy players with him But it was Vital who set the tone. He was grabbing boards against those giants. Cumberland looked twice his size but he didn't give a damn, locking him down when it counted. No challenge to big for him! He only scored [S]8[/S] 19 points with [S]3[/S] 5 boards, but without him we lose. (Edit originally had wrong box score) He frustrates the hell out of all of us, but trust me I see no replacement for him next season. That toughness does not come instantly or easily. I won't speculate on who looks to be our 'fighter in the pits' but Vital proves we will need one. I hope though that his teammates do emulate that part of his game. Just saying we all may biatch about his game but trust me, we're gonna miss that Fighting Tenacious Husky next year, at least until one of his 'pups' grows up (and quick). One thing you can say about him, Vital ain't scared. He may leave us without fame or even lasting memories but one thing is for sure, Vital is a 100% pure breed Husky! No other Husky on the rafters, NBA or player history is tougher than him. Equal perhaps, but none tougher. To me this game sealed his legacy (i.e. a Fighting Husky).
