Message: [QUOTE="Icehawk, post: 4821828, member: 10615"] Gonzaga played right into our hands by playing slower than their normal pace, having terrible shot %s, and having no depth at the G spots. This was a game I was pretty confident the Huskies would win, hopefully we don't go into the first BE game soft. Castle had one drive and spin move that was [I]chef's kiss[/I], makes me sad we won't get to see him more than this year (I don't watch NBA). I wish he was a bit more of a threat on the perimeter, but I bet he develops it long term. I thought he might have gotten more minutes tonight, I'm not going to read anything into it though. Solo was quiet but hit a nice 3 when it was needed, he's still got time this season to keep improving - next year I think he's going to very good. No TOs but 3 fouls, I don't recall them offhand so they probably weren't terrible? Diarra? Ok, this was the guy I thought we were going to get last year, I LOVE it. He's made some clutch points for us, such a nice change there. His scrappiness... man you can't buy that. I love his FT%, that's bigtime in tight games. Clingan's looking close to form, can't wait to see a full unleashing because even his "bad" games... have been very good. He's held his own against older, top rated bigs at less than 100% - can't wait to see the Kalk matchup. I loved the back-to-back Diarra/Clingan plays too - those guys have some chemistry. I hate how the pundits keep saying we have no replacement for Jordan as a shooter, I loved Jordan - dude's a hero - but Cam Spencer is a bucket machine too just in a different way. 3pt, mid range, layup, the man don't care. Money from the line. Tristen had a solid game, Johnson did enough, and Jaylin got a few mins in Seattle which was cool. I like that we have options, it doesn't feel like anyone is "required" to blow it up each night. Overall I think the game was well played, not going to harp on the mistakes I'm sure Dan will :D The team is looking GOOD. This is feeling like deja vu and I like it. [/QUOTE]
