Excellent summary. The JB tweak definitely won us the first half and Woodson's counter (helped in part by our O turning into a combination of hero/HORSE ball) got them back in it.

I think Jimmy plays hard and is a glue guy but is currently looking for his shot too much. That may be needed now as Swider has no showed quite a bit. I also think Cole has a need to shoot and he drives me crazy just floating outside with his hands up. Buddy is proof that sometimes you have to work for points and shots.

Jessie should touch the ball every 5 trips, no excuses. I think JB waited 2 trips too many to start the second half in calling a TO or calling a play to insure Jessie got the ball, if for no other reason than he seems to be the only player willing to pass to the open man.

Frank was key - fresh legs, energy, FT's and freedom in my opinion, because he knew he wasn't coming out.

This team is odd in that I don't know how or why we score but we do. We can shoot (though we can be shut down too), we can't dribble drive, we don't have a lot of motion or spacing, and we don't have a lot of willing passers.

Last thought - bad shots are a bigger killer than usual this year because we can't defend. We need to be much smarter on shot selection and with our itchy trigger fingers that is going to be tough.
