Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 3039745, member: 7806"] --I have total mixed emotions after this game. Proud of the fight and effort that the team put forth, but irritated at what might have been with some improvements in fundamentals. Nevertheless, was nothing near the potential Valentine's day massacre many were worried about. Some Things I saw: -If there was ever a 10.0 Richter Scale earthquake in Hartford, the only things left standing would be the rims at the XL center. Damn, those things don't move at all... -We actually had some really nice ball movement for most of the game and it paid off in some nice open shots. Unfortunately, we missed too many of them for a legit chance at a victory. -I was really pleased with Carlton's progress/bounceback from last game. He's making me cautiously optimistic that he'll be able to be an important piece of our frontline for the next 2 years. Though he struggled to make shots, he busted his arse and had a respectable statline versus a very athletic team. -We need to figure out some way to run some plays to get Polley open for 2-3 more spot-up 3's each game. -Sid continues to make some great progress and is looking more and more comfortable with the game. If he can put on 10-15 pounds of muscle in time for next season, it can only help him when he's in the paint. -Tarin had a good/serviceable game. He does tend to dribble a bit too much and it disrupted the offensive flow a few times...but then a few times, he ended up making a nice dish/assist. -CV was CV. Heart of a lion! -Houston had very nice ball movement; sometimes we blew defensive switches to give them easy buckets, but there also were just a lot of very nice offensive sets...so hats off to them. Awards: Double IPA Award - I think this was a real balanced team effort. But, overall I'll give it to CV IPA Award - Josh Session IPA Award - Tarin Imperial Stout Award - Sid for the nasty breakaway dunk Sour Farmhouse Ale Award - The Refs. Quite a few headscratcher calls, but that shot clock violation call SUCKED. Took away a likely fastbreak bucket that would have got the crowd going crazy. Who knows if that would have changed the overall momentum of the last few minutes. We'll never know. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
