Shooting comes and goes, but tonight Buddy put together the complete game. He had assists, more boards than a dead man (LOL), steals, deflections, and he took care of the ball with only one TO. He had good shot selection...I thought he only forced a couple and one of those actually went in for a three.
This is how he needs to play every game whether or not the shots are falling.
I had previously made a post criticizing Buddy for selfish play and lack of assists. Last night he was the epitome getting his while simultaneously being unselfish and finding his teammates. This is how he should be playing basketball and leading his team. It is now been proved that he can do that, so we as fans should not settle for less.
I liked the combined play of Jesse and Frank at the five...Swider was also taking and making good shots.
Good to see Symir back and looking healthy.
A nice recovery game for Joe after a couple of abysmal outings.
Lastly, we finally got a glimpse of what Benny might be able to bring to the table. Loved his energy. he still needs to find some O. His situation is interesting, most players need to earn court time w D, but Benny needs to become just enough of an O threat to keep em honest. I thought he did that today with some nice board crashing and a nice drive or two to the hole even though he didnt finish. The finishing will come.
