Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1972619, member: 837"] Excellent post -- and that comes from someone who usually writes a way-too-long post after a game. Agreed with pretty much everything in there and particularly thought the combo of Gillon/Howard on the floor together was intriguing particularly b/c White is a bit more comfortable at the 3, I'd say, at this point. So it makes us really dangerous offensively. Also good call on force-feeding Chukwu minutes. Other observations that are left over: -- Been said a million and 1 times but DC needs to keep that ball up high. No point in belaboring it but he actually kept the ball high a couple times to finish and he looked really solid (the spin move to the lefty layup and the one where he got fouled off the feed from White). Dude is what he is (and I mean that as both a compliment and a bit of a critique) but it's still worth noting. -- Thought the turnovers were largely from trying to make a play on offense. I find them much easier to swallow when a guy is making a lot of plays for himself and others. Howard had the truly terrible pass that led to an SC St. breakaway but he made so many plays you just sort of shrug. This team may turn it over some but I love what we're seeing in the playmaking department as well. -- One thought on the press is that Chukwu needs to just get under the basket. If a team hits a three fine, but he has no business trying to chase anyone anywhere. He's not Keita. Get underneath and protect the rim. Also, probably no more alley-oop attempts to my man. -- Lydon was a guy you didn't specifically mention. Still trying to figure out where he fits in offensively but looked a little more comfortable tonight and he just makes so many plays aside from merely scoring that he's a force. Love to watch him work. [/QUOTE]
