These games are fun to watch. Who doesn't love the chance to watch the Cats in July? That said, I can remember having set what turned out to be unrealistic expectations following UK's dominant performances in the two previous summer events, so I've decided to spare myself the unnecessary emotional pain of doing so a third time. Our guys seem athletic and talented and I'm eager to see what they've got in November.

I'm not trying to get into it with other subscribers or anything, but I value your inclusion of the negative takeaways in your assessment. I want to know what the data suggests is most probable. If it's something that I find emotionally devastating, I can talk it out later with my therapist.

Reed didn't look better than you expected? Reeves playing the way he did on offense wasn't better than you expected. Agreed it's not all sunshine - Edwards and Rob weren't as good as I was hoping - but to say the way these guys looked was fringe top 20 is just another feather in your Eeyore cap

Reeves did the same thing he did last year in the Bahamas and last season. Reed hit 30% from three but also showed nice passing skill, that’s not blowing me away. If you want only glowing praise, KSR has plenty of that.

Your attitude is like if a wet towel had sex with a smelly sock. How anyone would ever pay to listen to your thoughts on this team when they have to decipher the nuggets of information through the storm of emo pessimism is beyond me. It's not too late to add a bit of pep to your step. I'm sure it'd help business

Buddy, if an article that lists 6 positive notes and 3 negative ones is too negative for you, maybe you need to evaluate how you process things. You are free to read nothing but fawning praise from anywhere else if that’s what you need.
