It's a good thing, they're going to need to keep building confidence. I've been pretty down on BMK this year, and I thought he very much looked like the Baye of last year. It was a great job.
I agree with that. In particular, we need KJ and CJ to make major contributions. Rak played quite well and Keita was solid too. Scoop did what he needed to do in the second half. More than anything, this team needs to play with more energy and passion!!
Ditto. I do hate that you can so often see our defensive pressure increase in tense situations. I don't expect them to go all-out for 40 minutes (although with our depth why not), but it would be nice to see us maintain the intensity for longer stretches of time. It does feel like we're fairly passive a lot.
By passive I don't mean we're not moving around, I just mean that there are times late in games, or when we're behind that you can see us really kick up it up a level - and we're rarely at that level otherwise.
