Message: [QUOTE="TheChamps990411, post: 4490663, member: 662"] Joe C is fine. Hes had a couple of spotty games but he`ll bounce back. The absolute key to this team is Newton and Hawkins. Newton needs to get his crap together because hes been flat out awful over the last 6 or 7 games. Hawkins needs to step up and be the player so many have talked about and we`ve seen flashes of and do so for an entire game not one half on and next half the invisible man. If Newton can go back to driving more like he was doing early on and making better decisions he`ll be fine. Those are two things he is in full control of and can instantly improve. Hawkins needs to play like hes option #1 and look to score everytime he has the ball. Defender sagging off? shoot! Defender tight? Drive and attack. Dont stop moving and look for screens nonstop. Also Sanogo has to be better. Hes had his lunch taken two games in a row now by the opposing big. He is supposed to be the best player in the conference and that should not be happening. He needs to defend and rebound better. He needs to stop with dumb fouls 20 feet from the basket. He needs to stop trying to go 1v3 and look for the pass. These two losses are on him as much as anybody and if he doesnt get his act together this team could be looking at 4 consecutive losses pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
