No thanks. My calendar is booked with Hearsky's mom until openig night.

Tay's stroke looks so much better than pre-injury. Looks like he has used his time out well. He even had a nice floater on the baseline. Looks like a completely different player. Just one game, but I was pleasantly surprised. Although he did seem to miss when he had a defender close by. WCJ...

Definitely more upside, but Tonje is a better shooter.

It is very similar to wood as far as traction goes, maybe even better. When playing you don't notice any difference other than the sound as the tiles are not as solid. With the metal building dribbling is loud, even with underlayment and insulation. The Sport Court brand were quieter but almost...
