Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4851378, member: 534"] [SIZE=5]Before anyone points out that last night's opponent was the blueJAYS, not blueBIRDS, I [B]know[/B]. Ever hear of [I]artistic license[/I]? [/SIZE] [LIST=1] [*]1st lead at 17:57 [*]Looks like Karaban's shot is MIA again. [*]Newton made a three at 13min but like his free throws lately, it had almost no arc on it. But the next one looked a lot better. [*]The game changed completely when Clingan came in. It was like the energy level of the whole team went way up. [*]Spencer having a field day with the pull up in the lane. [*]Great move by Castle for the twisting layup at about 3:30. [*][B]Hassan! [/B]Acrobatic layup among the trees and the foul at 1:17. The kid continues to impress. [*]At the half -- 11 point lead. Newton and Spencer in double figures. No one else has more than 4 points. Karaban scoreless. [*]Hey, Karaban appears to have found his shot in the locker room at half time. [*]Our defensive intensity at another level in the 2nd half. Smothering the BJs. [*]Clingan comes WAY out to block a three point attempt and starts a break that ends in a Diarra layup. I think he saw Johnson getting ready to come in to spell him, and wanted to do something to force Dan Hurley to keep him out there. [*]10:52... 20 point lead. [*]Castle is a superb rebounder. [*]Johnson fouling a guard 4 feet from half court is exactly the kind of play we don't need. [*]Started getting sloppy at around 6 minutes. 22 point lead down to 16 pretty quickly, and 10 at 2:30. Then everybody woke up and we took control again. Need to either work on our slowdown game or just stop trying to use it. [*]Cam's quick bucket on the third inbounds of one possession of clock killing, took whatever hope was left in the BJs, crushed it and through it in the gutter. [*]ISTR last year there was a lot of ESPN/FS1 talking head mention of Kalkbrenner being one of the elite center's in the country. This year, not so much. My take -- he's above average, but not close to elite. Comparison from last night. [B]Kalkbrenner [/B]-- [B]35 min[/B], 5 blk, 8 boards, 0 dimes, 11 points. [B]Clingan [/B]-- [B]15 min[/B], 2 blk, 5 boards, 2 dimes, 6 pts. [*]There were 28 rebounding opportunities [I](sometimes called misses<G>) [/I]at our basket. We controlled 21 of them. That is astounding, [*]Most telling stats of the game... offensive boards 21 to 6 and 8 to 3 in steals. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
