During the post game Georges stated that McKay said (I think at halftime) something like "Are we going to let them disrespect our seniors in our house"? (That is not verbatim)

Dare I say that we may have another leader emerging???

He is our leader next year...heck, this year too. He never hangs his head or gives up in plays. Big things for him as we wrap up this year and go into next year.

When the guy playing the hardest is also the most athletic and has the longest wing span in most games...good things gone happen.

Our body language was awful to start the 2nd half. McKay and Thomas deserve credit for bringing positive energy because nobody else seemed to be trying.

BDJ? Dude was out if it completely.

I Jameel exciting and stressful all at the same time. He's not the typical looking athlete but he makes things happen. I can honestly say that he is the on court leader. He might not be flashy or verbal within the game but he lets his actions lead. I'm so glad to have him on our team.

This X100 when you add vocal leader to that! It has to be infectious. Man, I want to go out and leave my guts out on the floor! I'm pretty sure I'd pull a hammy first but you get my drift.

As an NBA fan, I have seen many teams draft players with worse heads on their shoulders, more raw in their game, and no higher ceiling than McKay has.

Not saying he's going to light the NBA on fire and doesn't have a lot of room for improvement, just that players with similar upside and more question marks get drafted frequently. Will be interesting to see how he's treated by the draft experts next year if he keeps improving.

BDJ is probably realizing all of his dreams of being in the NBA are gone.

On a less depressing note, man you gotta love McKay. We needed a leader to step up and we have found out that its McKay. The kid plays his heart out whether he scores 20 or 2 or whether we are behind 20 or ahead 20.

Yes! Big key with McKay is that he doesn't hang his head or show much negative reaction when things aren't going his way. If anything, it revs him up even more!

Sad if true because they don't have to be. BDJ would be one of the most physically impressive shooting guards at the combine this year.
