Mike Harris! Rod Benson! It's RGV vs Reno (almost) Live on VERSUS!

Consider this an open thread(Jokez!)/preview for tonight's VERSUS game of the week.

Hopefully Thurl Bailey doesn't anoint anyone as Dwight Howard-like like last week because Bryson McKenzie, nor anyone else in the D-League, is like Dwight Howard.

  • Basically, watch to see Rod "Boom Tho" Benson.
  • And Mike Harris, who has already called-up this season
  • And Antonio Anderson, the glue guy for Memphis who has now added 'capable scorer' to 'defensive stopper'
  • And Garrett Temple, who nearly made the Rockets this preseason
  • And Jonathan Wallace, just because I liked him at Georgetown
  • And Will Blalock, former Detroit Piston
  • And Desmon Farmer, because he scores a lot
  • And Doug Thomas, because he used to be a crazy dunker
  • And Cezary Trybanski, because, well, he's Cezary Trybanski.
  • And maybe D.J. Strawberry, who I believe is injured, but may be healthy by now.
  • For additional story-lines, Matthew L. Brennan breaks it down here.

Yep

Pretty much two different strategies; RGV shooting threes, Reno attacking the rim, plus Desmon Farmer’s fadeaways.

Rod told you....I guess the D-League will now have to fine him.

I'm pretty sure Desmon Farmer has given up.

He just pushed Craig Winder instead of, you know, guarding him.

Yep, it's official.

Desmon Farmer is done with this game.

Desmon Farmer must be Bi-Polar.

10 min ago he was trying to take the game over. And failing.

Has no one on the Reno team slept or eaten in three days?

These guys look gassed.

Mokeski was never a head coach in the D-League

Or anywhere, except for a Kansas City USBL team for like six days before they busted him for cocaine.

Sorry, Peter Young.

Reno needs Majic Dorsey back

or at least a backup PG of some kind.

Isn't Chris Davis a PG

I have no idea, but I thought he was

He very well may be.

But he also barely plays.

I just remember I was talking about their PG's at the Showcase

and someone said Chris Davis is a PG. I couldn’t tell you anything about him.

He is, technically

but he averaged just over three assists a game as a senior. So not really.

One or two passes per possession might be nice

but maybe that’s asking too much.

Scott, are you going to do a skype interview with ADB after the game?

Because I haven’t seen awkward video of you since this summer. Been too long.

Chris Finch is confusing

When you get down here, cut to the middle, but don’t get in the middle, get out. And then play physical on the other end. But don’t foul, but play hard.

At least he was drawing something up

Jay Humphries may be the Mike Brown of the D-League.
