Anybody see the Laker-Blazer game last night?
Lakers: Long, athletic, fast, deep bench. Featuring the greatest player in the game, who had two slam dunks within 19 seconds in the opening quarter. You wondered how the Blazers could ever compete!
Oh....
...three-point shooting.
The Lakers were miserable, missing their first 15 shots from deep. The Blazers weren't a helluva lot better, but still--better. Once Stauskas got hot from three, the game turned dramatically, until Lillard took over late from deep.
The three: A game-changer.
I know we're excited about our Griz. Best roster top to bottom in the history of the program, in my opinion. A Power-Five roster right now. Athleticism and defensive prowess like we seldom see at Montana.
But ya gotta make that three-point shot.
Our season will turn on whether we can.
That's the new basketball.
