The defense changed when BMK entered helping slow down UNC and in particular McAdoo after UNC jumped out to a quick lead right after tipoff. In those first 3 minutes 53 seconds McAdoo had 6 points, a block, 2 steals and an assist. Christmas went out, Baye was subbed in and in the next 7 minutes 20 seconds, McAdoo scored 4 points with no other stats. Christmas was subbed back in with a little over 8 minutes left in the 1st half and played excellent defense.

I sure hope there isn't a stupid war between Baye supporters and Christmas supporters. I love both players and each has their assets and limitations. Christmas' problems seem to revolve around focus and intensity. Baye helped jumpstart Rak's focus in Keita's 10 minutes on the floor. What do you think JB wanted Christmas to see while he was on the bench when he  inserted Keita before 4 minutes had even been played? Worked great thankfully and Rakeem was definitely focused when he went back out on the floor playing great defense in 26 of his 30 minutes. He too was tentative on offense grabbing offensive rebounds under the basket, not scoring off them but certainly made his impact on defense/rebounding.  So what's the problem again?
