They have very limited size, and their best post player looks to be out. Tomi, Z, and Mirk need to dominate in the paint
Need to figure out a way to cool off Hoit. Unfortunately he’s coming in with a lot of confidence, we just let another small quick guard cook us (Reid, NW) and our defender with the best chance of shutting his water off is out.
The numbers say Hoit is inefficient from 2 so I think we just sell out on limiting his attempts and if he scores over our 7 footers so be it.
Play our game and take care of the ball offensively I don’t know that that can score with us even if Hoit goes for 30.

As much as he may want to come back this year — and as much as I want him to to — it seems irresponsible, financially, to burn what is essentially a lost year with two more paydays available.
We can let Hoit do what ever he wants! Need to keep Coit in check tho

If one reads that in the wrong frame of mind one would think we have 2 guys available to play tonight. Might be a tough one 2 on 5. LOL

Warmups, in the driveway or wherever… 58 straight three pointers is impressive.
