Triche with Dion is looking good. Brandon is bringing solid decision making and isn't forcing it so much. With Dion out there, Brandon is the low-key combo guard and is getting open looks from 3. Dion is sharing the ball really well right now, too.
As I mentioned a while ago, I thought that if you play Triche, you have to play Fair for the offense / defense balance. The offense got going with Fair, Triche and Dion as the variable pieces in the lineup.
Fab was a solid 6 & 4 - we got numbers like that on an off night. That's pretty good, and he's getting better. Keita was OK, but has had better games.
I thought Southerland might have deserved a shot in the second half before the offense finally got going, but once Dion, CJ and Brandon all got in synch with Kris, you don't break up what's working well. Kris had a monster night, scoring from all over the floor.
Scoop has got to be feeling the pressure to step it up. I can't imagine that he thought he'd be the guy who is the third guard, with all the headlines and accolades he got this summer.
