I agree. He's a drama queen sometimes.

Correct. Trey played a nice game with his parents in the house watching.

Love the grit they played with down the stretch last night. Aside from Chaz, Maxie and Trey are really playing well, and the spark they bring coming off the bench is huge. The only thing I'd like to see more of is Maxie at the high post when Cady is in the game down on the block. If they double down on Cady, Maxie should be able to take anyone to the rim. If they cheat on Maxie, Cady should get more space. Need to get Cady going again, and with him and Maxie out there together, that's a tough duo. Samp is playing his ass off, shots aren't falling but they will. He looks like he's not 100%, but his effort is always there, so let's hope he bounces back, he's a good player.

Good teams win games even when they don't play their best game. 13-1, I'll take it especially while we're not hitting on all cylinders. I'm enjoying this season A LOT

Sampson Carter SHOULD NOT be getting the minutes he is getting. The guy is so frustrating to watch!

That set up his ridiculous defensive intensity, which was followed by the 3 point attempt while being fouled.

Acting or not, it was the catalyst to winning the game. Do you think he would sacrifice his defense on that possession to sell it even more?

thought the minutes were pretty balanced last night. Maxie should see a few more, but you don't bench Samp. Let him play through things right now, they all will have tough streaks during the season

Is an online replay available for last night's game?

Remember some legend posting a youtube replay for the Miami game.

Second this, but I love it. Just makes it more interesting, especially when he goes down and nails a 3 right after, and gets fouled shooting another.

That being said, I would LOATHE Chaz if I was an opposing fan. Similar to the way that I despise Kanacevich.

Chaz does have a little Paul Pierce in him with the theatrics ..

Chaz had ice packs on three different parts of his body (elbow, hip, back) after the game. If you think that he's "acting" then he would trade places with you, I'm sure.

You guys need to sit down with my friend Kosty for a few beahs because last night he seemed to lose confidence in DG.

From my seats last night, DG played a hell of a game. The guy is non-stop motion and aggression. If the guy could ever develop an outside shot - even from 15 feet -- he would be a monster because he would be incredibly difficult to guard.

For several posters here, I have requested that the UMass staff add a second "Z" to Chaz's name.

Right down to the "EHHHHHHHHHH" scream when going to the hoop. Paul Pierce had that down to an art, along with the facial expressions.
