Lucas: Rock Stars

Posted Jan 2, 2009
In the wake of Carolina's 84-61 win over Nevada, Ty Lawson was listing his team's offensive options, reeling them off like a list of New Year's resolutions. "We've got Tyler and we've got me, and we've been scoring a lot," he said. "And tonight, Wayne got hot. And Deon can score any time. Danny didn't score a lot tonight but we know he can." That was just the starters. He was about to move on to evaluate the reserves--those would be the same reserves who outscored Nevada 24-8--when he paused. (Tar Heel Blue)
