This crowd rises to its feet. The Toro slammed it home. Garland left wing, three ball. Perfect. The point of the lane locked. The mobility, pow! And Alan blocked the shot at the rim. How!

I'd like to get a little calves back in my life, but it is still trucking along.

Nonetheless, we are going to continue our offseason preview by talking about the
