Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4802733, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]The gameplan early was just throw it to Donovan every possession, and let him be the playground bully. Seemed to work quite well for a while. So well we opened the 2nd half the same way. [*]When Clingan tired a bit and Samson came in, our tempo changed, and NH had trouble adjusting. In less than 4 minutes Samson got a hand [I](or at least a finger)[/I] on 3 or 4 NH passes to the interior and redirected them. Couple times it created a turnover, and even when it didn't, it broke up whatever they were trying to run and they had to back out and restart the offense. [*]Our three point shooting kind of sucked. (It actually got worse... I wrote that BEFORE Alex just started throwing up bad shots from deep one after another in the 2nd half.) [*]Donovan was getting hacked on the forearms and wrists every time he touched the ball. Not very many whistles for it. [*]About 3 minutes left in the first half, Donovan made a very sweet drop off to Karaban for a deuce. My choice for play of the game. [*]Halftime, one stat stood out. Three point percentages. Good guys, 25%. Other guys, 67%. [*]While we were giving them open threes, we were dominating on the nitty gritty stuff. Steals, turnovers and rebounds. Especially offensive rebounds. [*]I noted at the half, that it had been pretty well officiated, if you go by the comparative lack of whistles. [*]And then the 2nd half started. Was it even the same officiating crew? Whistlemania! Very one sided whistlemania. We were whistled 3 times in the first half. And 18 times in the 2nd half. [*]Alex did not have a good shooting game. Not even an OK one. 3 of 11 overall and 0 for 6 from three. He also had a bad shooting night a game or two back, and both times, he started to just chuck up hurried threes. That's not going to fly against decent teams. [*]Tristen finished the game 17, 10 and 7. Thirty cents shy of another triple double. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
