The way they used Cuffe in the first half, after Carlos sat down, is how he should be used.  He ran the point, drove to the basket, drew fouls and actually made the shot.  Right now, he should not be used to throw up jump shots or 3s, though I think that will improve as he gets more time.
As stated earlier, the team looked the best when Carlos was out and Cuffe was driving and running the point. And frankly for a small dude he plays really good defense.  I thought they had a great thing going once we hit halftime.
Then Red reset to Carlos time and we sharply regressed.
I was at the game and it was maddening.
The way Cuffe was used in the second half was not the way to use him.
He had 13 points in the first half, mainly on drives and foul shots.
1 point in the second half and no drives at all.
His defense was still good but they took him out of the flow of the offense.  I dont think he drove the lane again and just chucked up some shots.  No rhythm to the game, no flow.
