That was actually quietly a very impressive win, given the enthusiasm and GDP deficit. I know HCA helped.
But it told me a lot about some of our reserve players, especially Staples; I kind of already knew Tanner was up to scratch.
For Staples to play 32 minutes against a good NT side and manage a roughly even +/-, a rebound every four minutes and an assist every eight indicates that we do go five deep (Innes, Mac, Osman, Duguid and Staples) at the big men positions.
That's big!
Good start by the Lions :-)
