Well.  I’m just going to enjoy the win.

I thought JJ had two really big shots for us to stem the tide.  The 3 and the pull up mid range shot.  Huge plays.  That Larry Bird Special should make the espn top 10.  Also want to give him credit for that first assist to Kings for the 3.  Got him going.

Kyle played about as good defensively in the post as possible. Blocks and drew charges.  Super effort.  Just a warrior out there. Good for him hitting that free throw, but what a horrific decision to run a slip screen to him in that spot.

It’s been said a couple times already, but Nate Kings completely flummoxed Gillespie. What a luxury to have a wing defender with his size.  Also like how well he gets to the basket. That he didn’t get looks in the 2nd was disappointing.

Sadiq is getting some high quality experience with Donnie out.  Will only help us later in the season. Love his energy.  He can board, jump and shoot.  Really needs to work on his handle.

I thought Kiyan played within himself tonight. Took good shots, played respectable defense.

Since I  can’t say anything nice about Nait George, I’m going to say nothing.  He’s got to get better.

This is a really good defensive team. It can show up every night.  I really prefer offensive teams - I just find it more enjoyable to watch- but those off nights get ugly.  No reason for this team to get blown out badly when it can throw stoppers out there at three positions.

Offensively, we’re just carpet bombers.  We need to take 100 shots to get 70 points.  There are no easy baskets for us.

Let’s rest Donnie against the cupcakes, get him ready for league play and take our chances.
