Mercer/Idea for Noah

[kjgoo <kjgoo@worldnet.att.net>]

Re: Mercer's toughness.... I think what Pitino may have been alluding to 
was Mercer's ASSERTIVENESS.  The only aspect of Ron's game I found 
disappointing in his rookie year was his tendency not to step up at 
crunch time, leaving AW to take all the shots.  I'm sure a lot of you 
will turn around and cite that as an example of Walker's "selfishness", 
but can we agree that Mercer simply needs to look for the ball more in 
the fourth quarter? 

I'm not the least bit worried about Mercer's shooting range.  He's no 
Greg Minor.  For now, it's refreshing to see someone who's willing to 
work for the mid-range jumper instead of hoisting up bad threes.

As for Noah -- I hate to pile on, but his apparent inability to complete 
a post without an arcane (and, as a former political theory major I 
might add, simplistic and/or inaccurate) reference to communism, 
socialism and/or anarchy makes me wonder if there isn't a spot for Noah 
on Monty Python's "World Forum".  For those of you who don't remember:

Game Show Host:  "And now, Karl Marx, for that beautiful lounge suite...
Who won the FA cup final in 1949?"

Marx:  "The workers control the means of production... the struggle of 
the urban proletariat..."

Game Show Host:  "No, it was the Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat 
Lester 3-1."
