The idea of this tandem was a daydream for many, and people all over the NBA spectrum were pulling for this one to happen. It eventually would, as the Knicks would receive Carmelo along with his sideman in Denver Chauncey Billups.
These days I often find myself daydreaming about Luca, the same way I used to daydream about my birth mother. Can his dad get him to make his bed? Does he still like his stepmom-to-be's Brussels sprouts? Are either of them monitoring his Facebook page?
Eastern A boys' quarterfinal: Cougars clobber Dragons
AUGUSTA — Mt. Blue’s front line demonstrates the fun and excitement of choosing your poison.
It takes two normal boys’ basketball players even to think about stopping Cam Sennick. Do that and you’ll leave Nick Hilton with an uncontested glare at the rim.
Find the right balance and you’re still probably going to lose. Brunswick couldn’t even sniff the daydream of stopping that tall tandem Saturday afternoon, and the No. 3 Cougars breezed to a 72-47 ouster of the No. 6 Dragons in the Eastern Class A quarterfinals at Augusta Civic Center.
Sennick started quickly, got stronger as the game progressed and finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots. Hilton’s second fiddle played the tune of 20 points and eight boards.
“We worked on that all week,” Sennick said. “Me and Nick knew that if one of us was going to be covered, the other one was going to be open. There was no way they could stop both of us.”
