This is only directed towards (hopefully) a minority here, but I've gotten tired of the criticism he's received this year and tonight it showed BLATANTLY how important he is to the team.  Yeah, of course, I and all of us expected him to be shooting more consistently from the three.  However, what he does in all other phases... who else plays as hard as this guy?  Also, he showed many other ways to get points when they were desperately needed.

I feel for KJo, because having Cooney basically take over the PG role in the last 10 minutes or so of the game was probably very tough for him from a confidence stand point.  However, Cooney showed he is reliable and won't make What turnovers like what we saw throughout the first and part of the second half.  How he assumed that role showed a lot in terms of his confidence, maturity and ability.

I just hope fans keep in perspective how hard he plays and how important he is to this team's success this year.  It isn't by dumb luck that our hall of fame coach gives him the minutes he does and relies on him when the game is on the line.
