I'm with you.  He iced the game on that clutch three he made.  Pure net.  Don't want him taking contested threes but these open ones he's hitting at a good percentage.  It's obvious teams will be playing off him and the more opportunities to become confident he can make these game winners the better.

My concern is the T's.  The negation of his three by the made two free throws was insignificant compared to his reduction in defensive play the T contributed to his foul trouble.  Teams will be baiting him and he has to get it under control.  Edmund Saunders was able to so have no doubt Andre will do the same.  His defense is far more valuable than his lack of offense but it's imperative he can get a midrange game going.  It will increase chances he can drive to the basket.

Loved this game from Jordan on both ends.  The out of bounds save, the block, and making it difficult for his opposing player to score were terrific.   He expended a lot of energy the first half and Hurley sat him on the bench for an overlong time in the second half but the coaches must have felt he needed it.  He was out of rhythm when he returned.  Should be rested enough for Saturday.
