Until Akok comes back as a guy he can dish to consistently by just tossing the ball up we're going to need Gaffney to start driving, Polley to stretch the D and Tyrese to start banging guys inside. Tyrese needs to be a creative outlet. Other coaches see what's going on and they know that right now we've only got 1 guy who can hurt them enough to seal a game.
Many of the "touch" fouls called in the USC game were ridiculous. Several times one of our guys merely put a hand on the other player (touched him), in no way hindering their freedom of movement, yet the whistle blew anyway.

Yup AKA hatchet man - Great guy refused to have his number retired so they put LOSCY on a banner and hung it with the numbers. Cowan eventually retired #18.

I saw a comparison for Jamal Murray in the comments of Schmitz tweet that I liked. He isn't as good as murray but sure does move similar to him and has the same nifty off the bounce game with the floaters etc

We would be doing that but the teams we’ve played weren't talented or dumb enough to play man d.

Just an observation: Kemba, Bazz CV and even Boat were smaller, faster and more solidly built than Bouk. Hoping Rehfeldt can help him on the strength and stamina end. He is of course much taller and longer then them. Kemba developed a mid range shot at the end of his college career when he was on a tour the summer between his last and next to last years at Uconn. He commented that playing against Rondo on that Pro/Am team showed him his shortcomings before going to the next level. After that summer he had the drive, mid- range and long bomb in his arsenal which caused defenses to play him honest. If they cheated on him he made them pay again and again. LOL all the while with that grin on his face! That is a testament to hard work and self improvement that goes along with his natural talent. No easy way to the top. No one worked harder than Ray Allen. What was it? 500 jumpers a day? ("Everyday Ray").
Rooting for James. He has a load of talent.

Kemba and Bazz gt the calls. Adams and CV didn't.
However, right now, Bouk is taking a beating. He is getting hurt almost every game. Hurley needs to be all over the refs about this.
Bazz and Kemba were not afraid of contact going to the hoop..They knew they would either get an "And one" or two FTs that they would make..
Once high fliers like Bouk leave the floor.. Defenders will do what they can to throw him off of his game if possible.. IMO.. Knowing how to land after contact and not hurt yourself is a valuable skill to have.
