Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4529982, member: 1245"] Clingan goes unmentioned but was productive. 7 offensive rebounds and 1 defensive rebound in just 10 min. Drew fouls, and got to the line where he needs to improve and I know he will. Drawing fouls on an opponent can be big. That is an undervalued benefit of getting him early minutes in a game and putting opponents on the bench. This team should be able to rely on either Alleyne or Joey hitting shots. Having 1 or both offensively productive puts us in a great place. Love to see this continue. If I only saw we lost turnovers 17 to 8, and, missed FTs 13 of 22 including missing the front end of 1&1, I would never guess a virtual 20 point win over a top 10 team. 48 to 24 RB, assists from great ball movement, and 50% from 3, is the other side of the story. What we didn't do was very important. Jackson wasn't baited into volume shooting. Diarra took an open 3 early in a shot clock, but otherwise wasn't pretending to be a shooter. Sanogo for the most part wasn't force fed on every possession. I just wish Clingan was allowed to play more of his minutes with Newton on the floor and 2 shooters. With Diarra, Alleyne as the backcourt, it seems we make it harder on ourselves. I don't think Sanogo plays much with Diarra and Alleyne as the guard tandom. Those guys should be integrated into lineups rather than being the lineup IMO. Alex really stepped up defensively 1 vs 1 and forced the ball out of his opponent's hands. It wasn't Freemantle or Hopkins but it was great to see. He is just a clinic on letting the game come to him. He sets pick after pick, plays passing lanes... Fouling a 3 point shot just shows it can happen to anybody. (Hate stepping out of bounds even if its Alex) [/QUOTE]
