[VF21]

I know just messn round, No O in Maurice so they team has it wrong!!! Don't they know how to spell, They should call him MA

I spell it Mo because it's easier. Actually, it would be spelled "Mau..."

 

[VF21]

Okay, back to the game stuff...

First half recap. Kings came out showing very little energy or enthusiasm. Evans came into the game and almost immediately sparked an awakening of the rest of the team. By the end of the second quarter, they were looking much, much, much better!!!

I like the way Adelman is utilizing Mo at both the 2 and 3. It gives the team more flexibility and presents looks opponents simply haven't seen before.

I like it!!!!

 

[VF21]

And just for those who may not know it...

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!~

 

[AriesMar27]

I spell it Mo because it's easier. Actually, it would be spelled "Mau..."

regardless of how you actually spell it, he still deserves "maur" playing time.... because he has maur athleticism than the rest of the guys on our bench, i definitely want to see maur of him this season.... thats my new M.O.

 

[6th]

And just for those who may not know it...

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!~

No kidding? I was totally unaware of it. Imagine that!!

 

[VF21]

I want to go on record right now as saying I applaud how RA has coached this game so far. He brought Evans in at just the right time and he's rotated him in and out at the 2 and 3 for optimum performance.

WHOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

 

[VF21]

ET says the team needs to open up the third quarter with a lot of effort and energy and not let the Warriors back into the game...

I think I agree!
