Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5151571, member: 974"] Johnson had another great start. They got him the ball at the rim and he was active on both ends. His second foul was a tangle of players, someone tripped. The refs said Johnson tripped him. Very early the first half. To the bench he went. Tarris came in. He was sick. Screen at 7'1" was a bad match up for him. Screen gave him trouble around the basket. Screen played a great game. He normally scores 6 points. He had 17. He normally has 6 rebounds. He had 10. He normally blocks one shot a game. He blocked 4 and changed others. Tarris had problems all game (might have bee because of illness). In the second half he did try to back Screen down but it proved unsuccessful. He played a lot more on the perimeter than usual. In the second half they couldn't get Samson the ball. We took a lot of bad shots in close. Many times (I thought) a lob might work but it was never thrown. Butler was committed and very good at team rebounding. [/QUOTE]
