The Bobcats looked much better with Kemba in the game than otherwise in the 2nd half parts that I saw. He's on the court to finish the game with the ball in his hands. He didn't shoot well overall, but brought home the win. Nice start...strange to see him look winded, not something we saw much of last year.

Take Kemba off the bobcats and they are a d-league team, maybe not even a good d-league team.

Take Kemba off of UCONN and they are . . . a bunch of Kemba's students ready to roll!

Both teams had their second units at the end, so it isn't necessarily a big deal that he got the ball every time. I was watching more to see how he ran the offense and how well he was able to create. I think he did ok - he was delivering the ball in good spots to people cutting off screens, and he got the ball to Diaw deep on the low block. He didn't turn it over, but got lucky twice with deflections that weren't stolen. You could tell that he was probing the defense a few times for passes after getting by his man, but there weren't many passing options.

He was beat off the dribble on defense a couple times, but a lot of that was the defensive strategy the Bobcats have where they want him to fight over screens. That gives the offensive player a chance to attack the basket, and then it's a matter of team defense. Once he was putting pressure on the ball near midcourt and his guy got by him too easily, but all part of the learning process.

18 points in 19 minutes? Not a great shooting performance, but the kid knows how to score, and more importantly, how to win.

one cool thing during the broadcast was when the sideline reporter chick talked about her interview with michael jordan about kemba. she said jordan went on for what seemed like a half an hour talking about how great a person and leader kemba is, without even bringing up his basketball ability.
