Well now that I was able to.......think about that game last night, I can rant a little.
First, Brook played at an All-Star level. Yes Big AL is still recovering and there was no Love but that performance is something we did not see from brook lastyear. 15 Rebounds, I'm not even focused on the points or blocks, the rebounds.
YI - 17pts, 12 boards - Cant ask for more from him, really can't. played well except for that lane violation.
TWILL - 15 pts, 10 boards - Brilliant Debut. Now can he be consistent.
Now for the fun part.
Devin - one game or not, his defense sucked and he needs to be the fourth quarter guy, no questions asked.
CDR - calm down buddy. You were to filled with energy and played bad defense which caused you to get into foul trouble. your going to lose your job to TWILL ifyou do not play well my man.
Lee - Still don't think he knows that the pre-season is over yet or that the game in Minnesota ever started.
The Bench - ughhhhh
Hayes goes down and we lose our bench like that (Twill played big minutes off the bench but still who else???)
Boone was horrible. Quit shooting jumpers you can only hit in practice. Box out and get Offensive Rebounds. You did not need JKidd when you did that your firsttwo years here.
We miss Dooling and need a backup PF (Sean Williams still owns a Nets Jersey right?)
Skip was Skip. He actually moved the ball better than Harris but we have that discussion every year.
Really did like when Skip and Harris were on the floor together.
This will be the season guys. I think we will lose alot of fourth quarter games this year. VC is not even the reason why. The team has struggled in the fourthquarter for three years now.
The defense was great for three and a half quarters though.
This was just a weird game. But still frustrating.
