I'm glad to see we have guys that can block shots, but serious question - based on our defense clearly still having some work to do, are our opponents getting into the paint too easily, thus leading to more opportunities for blocks by our bigs?

the only stat i really care about at the end of the year is the win total.

We should win this game by at least 30-40 points.

At 7 foot 1, I would think you would accidently get in the way at least 9 times... so I must say Woody is a dissapointment in this regard. Withey is about that tall and has 37.

Josh o, Olaseni, Basabe, Clemmons, Ingram.... Uh who has really been that big of a problem ? Eric May? Ingram hasn't shown much but he can be an improvement on defense. And showed a really nice move attacking the rim last game, just didn't finish against good defense.

May and Gabe need to see their time on the court cut drastically.
