Slingin' Sammy "Super Soaker" Merrill

I love merril on offense and he had a great night, but they went right at him defensi ely on nearly every possesion.. he should have gotten the charge instead of the blocking call, but they know he is the weak link..

It’s why he hasn’t stuck other places. It’s always going to be a gamble if he can create enough offense to cover for his defense.

Yeah, Thibs knows who to target.

He is a better defender than his reputation but that doesn't mean he is good. I think he does a good job of being in position and doing all the team D stuff. You cant cover up physical limitations at some point, but he does as good as you realistically can

He does way better than I realistically can.

Same here. And I won an intramural championship in the Mark Madsen/Brian Scalabrine role

Your role was to be an awful dancer at the championship celebration?

Having no sense of rhythm or balance makes it hard!

Sounds like that would make it easy to be a bad dancer as that is the exact recipe for being a bad dancer.

I only ever won guitar and band competitions.

He’s a thousand times better than Garland on the defensive end.

That's fine. Let them have their 2s in exchange for Merrill 3s.

It was a nice run for Sudden Sam, but after the Windler he pulled tonight one has to wonder if the magic is gone.

A little early for this. Second night of a back to back in a game he started the night before. I think he was just tired.

When he's not hitting though, he's pretty bad. I'm not too concerned, should never be a starter normally.
