Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 5623267, member: 6797"] Did anybody really think this game was over when we were up by 20? Don’t we know better? -obviously Donnie was terrific. 27 points and nine rebounds is pretty nice. And there still is room for improvement. He still needs to go to the basket stronger and not fade away. He lost a couple of rebounds that were in his hands. But this kid is a game changer for our team. God do I wish we had him for the whole season. -George was so solid in the first half and then he was so awful on the second half. The free throws were huge. And in the first half he took care of the ball and did not force bad shots. But in the second half his turnovers were just atrocious. Imagine trying to force the ball to Souare? -Kingz had perhaps his worst game of the season. -despite horrific defense, two for 10 shooting and two turnovers (not counting his three missed three-pointers, which are effectively turnovers), JJ played more minutes than Betsey and Kiyan combined. The play when he went to the basket instead of running clock showed that he is either stupid or selfish. Either way isn’t particularly good. -Kiyan on the other hand looked as comfortable as he has looked all season in the first half. I can’t fathom how he did not play more in the second half, particularly when we knew that Georgia Tech was going to foul. He should have been subbed in for either Kyle or JJ. -at the end of the day every single one of us would have taken a 10 point win on the road before the game started. So there’s that. But the lack of poise and effort on defense we showed to almost give up a 20 point lead makes it hard to be particularly optimistic that we can win close games against good teams. [/QUOTE]
