An extra thought about Junior Day - wasn't sure if this should go here or the hoops bored but I think it's more relevant here:
Not only did we have a chincredible turnout of local talent. Not only did the hoops team win and going away. Not only was the crowd impressive. But for a team with an 8 man rotation where 50% of them are extremely not local (like Eastern time zone or further), by far the 3 biggest stars of the day were all Seattle or Seattle area kids.
Crisp carried the offense through the ugly first half and scored 15. Nowell also had 15 and added 8 boards and 4 dimes. And Thybulle had 14 on just 8 shots and added 7 (!) steals. Those 3 also lead the team in minutes by a long ways as well.
And Dom Green was probably the 5th most important player in the game.
We couldn't ask for a better day. The team didn't just win, they won with local kids running the show and getting love from the fans.
That shit clearly registers with Smalls. I expect it registers with all of them.

I want everyone to give Christina some love because she brought her "A" toe game.
Impressive right from the get-go, crease to the valley and undulations.
Whiteboard and markers I want to thank Derek J. because he's always prepared for situations like this.
We made an impression but remember we may have won this battle but the war is not over... "
