Message: [QUOTE="nycfan, post: 2020418, member: 583"] I know most will say that the key was Gillon running the show for the entire game. And although that's a valid point, I think just as important was Roberson getting the big "starters-like" minutes. He is our best rebounder, our best defender, and probably the most athletic player on the team, at least when he wants to be; thus, besides playing better defensively, in general the team just seems to be more athletic with him on the floor (assuming of course he stays engaged as another poster mentioned). The one knock on him (besides not always being engaged), is that his offensive game has not taken the next step (like it did for Rak). However, if JB is going to continue to play the 3 big offensive guys the huge (38-40) minutes then it doesn't really matter what Robey gives you offensively, as long as he doesn't miss a lot of bunnies (which he has done a lot this year). He basically becomes a good complement to them. [/QUOTE]
