I love dogs. I also love basketball players that play with the tenacity of dogs, so when I call a player a dog I mean it in the most positive way.

I think every good team has to have some of those guys, the ones that bring intensity all game long on both ends of the court. I don't think last year's team was blessed with enough dogs. MoD was definitely a dog but he didn't have enough size or shooting ability. Oweh looked like a dog at times but he coasted on defense too often.
I think this team has at least a couple dogs. I think McBride is a dog; I don't know if he will start but I think his dogness will earn him playing time. I also think Mason Williams is a dog and I think he will also earn more minutes than people are expecting. Agree with me on Williams and McBride? Of course, both of those two might come off the bench so we will need a couple dogs in the starting lineup. Do we have any more dogs with more talent?

I wanted to make a post that couldn't be twisted into another meaning so let me just sum up what I wanted to get over in this post: I LOVE DOGS!

sounds like Zoom is a dog from what his team mates are saying.
live to see Moreno speed up his dog but I don’t think that’s his style.
I think Kam may be more dog than not and I hope he exerts himself!
Good post!

I think you mean DAWG.

Big difference.

I always thought that was just for Georgia...:) Actually, I think either usage is fine and when it comes to grammar, I am the popo.

Per Google AI(I do not mean to imply that they are the ultimate authority, merely a scraping and summary of internet definitions):

In sports, "dog" is a highly versatile slang term that can mean an underdog expected to lose or a relentless, gritty competitor with an unmatched work ethic

Dawg is normally used when you want it to sound the way hillbillies like me pronounce it and is normally used as a synonym for "buddy" or "friend". In sports when you read "Dawgs", 99% of the time it's referring to the University of Georgia Bulldogs.
