My daughter lives in Asheville but in elevated location. She got electricity in a week and can walk to get food, water and her medical facility where she works is within walking distance and has power. She feels blessed and her work place provides her showers and meals if she needs them. This disaster is NC’s Katrina. Mountain infrastructure is old and not easy to replace.

It looks like the Trump campaign has turned the corner. He is leading in 6 of the 7 battle ground states, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average. Harris is slightly leading in Wisconsin. The polls for Senate in Ohio, PA, and Michigan are trending Republican. If those 3 flip, that means the GOP would gain a net five seats and a 54 to 46 majority in the Senate. Right now Trump has an electoral vote lead of 302 to Harris' 236.

With all due respect, Trump is terrible.

Don't believe it means much. All within the margin of error, although Trump has historically polled lower than final results. My sense is Harris peaked too soon. The more she goes public, the more her weaknesses become apparent. Just cant pull off retail politics or think on her feet quickly.

No idea where this goes. Hatred over policy may win the day.

Yes, those policies that have led to a booming economy, historically low unemployment and the highest Dow-Jones Average in history.

Can't have that.

What policies? Border czar, open southern borders, gangs, crimes, fentanyl deaths? Nothing you reference relates to Giggles. My dog eats a lot of dog food, treats, and Chewy bones, gets groomed, stays at a doggie day care, and barks at stocks I should purchase. Bowser contributes a heck of a lot more to the economy, low unemployment and higher Dow Jones Average than Kamala.

That's okay to me. I know defense is important. Big time important, but if Dusan can be one of our top scorers, I am okay with just average D. A guy with his size who can shoot and score....add great D and we are talking a 1st round NBA pick. I guess I am just more realistic and don't expect all of our guys to be great at both offense and defense.

Agreed. I think he is going to have a great season and potentially be our leading scorer.

Speaking of Noyes I do still think there’s potential maybe he needed different kind of O idk. He had 3 years here & chances but will be interesting to see what he does at Belmont.

My concern with Tanner is he was behind Noyes and got no time like last on bench almost. Reports r good but we normally get a preseason good report that doesn’t pan out. Would like to see it bc there’s an opening for shooter with size. 1 of him Glou or McGlothin I think he has to be a player for us.

doesn't this prove the initial point that we should hope Moon can identify his best five and their fit before the OOC is a wash? If he was still looking for shooting by game 10 he must have missed the season Jordan was having.

I think you always look for shooting. It's the way the game is now and you can never have enough shooters. Don't forget we had several bad shooting games from 3 during our 1st 9 OOC games: 5-19 against BC, 5-20 against Colorado, Wichita St 7-23, No Iowa 6-18. All losses. Dji was 0-1, 1-1, 0-0, and 0-0 from 3 those games. So, I do understand why we gave Noyes some games to see if he could get it done. He couldn't, and Dji proved he was the better option. Not sure what the issue is with this.

I have a niece in Asheville whose employment is tied to the tourist industry. She now basically has no job as there are no tourists. No water for the city for several months. There are a lot of people suffering.

Not panicking, just pointing out that he is likely not on the same level on defense as last year's forwards. If he can be solid, and forward next to him good on D, and both scorers - that can make up the difference. But eyewitness account from scrimmage on this board seems to back up the idea that he is not going to be a + defender. I hope he is though.

I hear you. Dji and Bigs were really good at that end. I don't expect us to match that this year. But, maybe we find more offense to offset that. We had several games where we really struggled offensively last year. Our offensive efficiency was only 156 last year. Our defense was 34. Maybe we have a lesser defense, but a better offense and the result is another great regular season followed by some post season noise this time.

No, doesn't really prove your point at all, but no worries. I think you are worried too much about how and when Dji started. It's not like Mooney didn't play him much and then said maybe he should play. He had 6 games with 26 or more minutes before he started game 10.

Agreed and both of the above seemed true during the scrimmage .. Dusan will be one of our top scorers imo but will struggle I fear at times defensively against big strong teams.

Well, you guys can try to rewrite history all you want, but you are wrong. Noyes started the first 7 games, and got minutes off the bench the 6 games after that.

In game 8 against W&M, Roche started in place of Noyes, probably because at the time we still felt we would need 3s from that spot. Noyes played 16 minutes off the bench that game. In game 9 against No Iowa, Roche started again. Noyes played 19 minutes off the bench that game. In game 10 against Florida, Dji was playing well and started, and both Roche and Noyes got minutes off the bench. In game 11 against Charlotte, Dji started again. Roche and Noyes got minutes off the bench. Game 12 against Buffalo, Dji started and Roche and Noyes got minutes off the bench. Game 13, same thing. Dji started, Roche and Noyes got minutes off the bench.

My goodness, guys, this was last year. Did you really forget all this, or are you just wanting something to get on Mooney for whether it is accurate or not?

You showed with Hunt's and Tyne's examples that this data is flawed. I would say let's wait and see how Dusan does for our team, in our defense, in our system before panicking here.
