I thought Battle was great defensively.  His lateral quickness and quick hands were a distraction at the top of the zone.  Loved his drive to the hoop.

Ball movement, ball movement, ball movement.

Two defensive possessions into the game it was like I found an old friend...the defensive rotations were back in synch.  It was shocking.

Everyone bodied up defensively for the first time in a long time.  We played PHYSICAL on both ends of the floor.

Lydon finally worked the blocks tonight.  Some great feeds to the post and he played strong.  He really showed the ability to shoot, post up and put the ball on the deck and drive.

Ball movement, ball movement, ball movement.

For those of you bitching about "we never run an offense" should watch the sets and ball movement in the first 10 minutes of the game against a big physical m2m team.  The coaching looks better when the execution is better.

Gillon has been handed the keys.  No looking over his shoulder...no bitching by the coach.  He looked more relaxed.

As much as Roberson makes me want to through a shoe through my TV at times, he is critical to the success of this team.  Great to see him contribute.  He was great tonight.

Did  I mention the ball movement was better?

We're still missing depth and our margin for error is still slim,but if we get that kind of effort and play tough every night, I'll be happy no matter the w's and l's.
