for SOG.
completely agree.
Gardner will be the board's choice, but I'll throw out a vote for DJO, because he was the guy that turned a close game into a rout. Problem with Gardner is whatever he gave us on offense in the first half, he gave back on the defensive end. He was much better on the defensive end in half 2.

With DJO, Crowder, Junior and JWilson in foul trouble, Gardner kept MU in the game in the 1st half. He was the offense in the 1st half. Add to that his 15 rebounds, there can't be any debate. A 22 point, 15 rebound game I think deserved the SOG.

Completely agree. Without Gardner producing in the first half, we're down big at halftime.
Gardner definitely deserved it, but more so because of what he did in the second half, I thought. Tightened up his defense and gutted through the minutes when many (myself included) would expect him to hit the wall. He bulled through it and put together a great second 20 minutes. I just hope this is a springboard to future success, and not his peak for the season.
I need to be wearing BIG SHEESH t-shirts and/or hoodies at least every other day.
Couldn't believe him getting up on that dunk. Great game.
VA all day.

maybe a silhouette of a big dude slowing going up for a jam, something that moves in different light or at a different angle. put Big SHEESH underneath it. make it blue and you know PRN will buy 3.
I guess that performance kills any "Why the Davante Gardner Love?" threads.

I need a large enough picture and I can whip something together real easy.

Man, that's a lot of energy there. ;D
The Big Smoove is rounding into shape. I never knew he could get up like that.

Until his hands let go of the rim, part of me thought we might see a shattered backboard.

You can't see too much of him, but the dude on the ground looks panic stricken! Potential of 280 lbs crashing down on you would make you nervous.
Super rough...

I saw that. Another one bites the dust. Did you see him late in the game throw that guy off when he cleaned the glass?
I thought they might give him a foul on that one but the game was pretty much in hand by then.
All I could think of of was DD, poet and Dunker Extrordinaire, Chocolate Thunder aka Darryl Dawkins:
Chocolate Thunder flyin'
Robizine cryin'
Glass shatterin'
Ass batterin'
In your face
Disgrace
I am
Jam
