A nice solid win for the team. I loved the balanced scoring from the starting five. I wish we had at least some moderate production - scoring wise - from the bench. It will be hard to expect double digits from each of our starters every game.
My key stat was 7 to 1 - that was Kaleb's assist to To ratio. It appears that he is rapidly learning to protect the ball & 7 the assists show that he has good court vision. In general, I like to see him pullup for that mid-range J, but yesterday, it seemed like he pulled up and was falling back. He needs to work a bit on his form. He has now had two straight double digit scoring games, hopefully he is turning the corner.
G - terrific overall game - he seemed to dominate. He played so well it was actually surprising he didn't score in the 20's.
Rak - not saying his complaints weren't justified, but overall the refs missed calls were not egregious. I think he did himself in more with his attitude than anything else yesterday. He was looking for the superstar treatment. I think that caused him to get frustrated on th D end with a loss of some concentration that lead to the fouls. Still, when he was playing he was dominant. Just can't live with only 23 minutes from him
Cooney - I like that he didn't seem to force much early when things weren't going his way, and he had nice composure in putting together a solid if not spectacular game. Loved his end of the half lay-in.
Roberson - a nice solid 10 & 6 game. He has the form, I just wish he was a tad more consistent with his mid-range J. I hope it happens for him this year, if not, I definitely would expect that shot to be his next season.
The bench - not much scoring, but solid in everything else. I think Chino proved that it should not be the end of the world for us to get Rak a few minutes rest even when he isn't in foul trouble. Patterson brought a bunch of D energy and lead the team in plus/minus. BJ still having trouble getting his act together. He looks lost on the O end out there. He is not shooting or playing with confidence. Who knows what a couple of makes might do for him, but he is in bad need of a positive catalyst.
Jimmy - he seems to be getting the most out of what he has.What more can we ask for ???
