A few thoughts
-Not sure why Judah seems so hesitant on the fast break.  I don't know if he is trying to take better care of the ball or has been coached to do that, but the speed differential when Quadir leads the break versus Judah is glaring, as is the quality of passing.  We lose the advantage of the defense having to get back and be out numbered, which is weird because Red has said he wants to run.  Plus we are more effective in transition than in the half court.  Also worth noting Quadir had 7 assists with 0 turnovers compared to Judah's 6 assists and 4 turnovers (which doesn't account for the forced air ball that sealed our fate).
-For a big part of BC's run, we had Cuffe, Hima and Benny on the floor.  Just not enough offense.
-The free throws were a killer.  If Judah can't make free throws, his effectiveness is severely diminished.  Maliq looked rushed at the line in particular.  
-Maliq played hard as always but between the missed free throws, poor passes and silly fouls, he was not at his best.
-Sitting behind our bench gave me a little more insight as to what a positive influence Quadir is on that team.  When we were way down he was imploring his teammates to play hard and t keep grinding.  When he sat he was engaged.  When we went on the run he was pumping up the crowd.  I think special things are ahead for him when he moves to the 1.
-Living here I hate BC and last night was a special kind of kick in the stones.
