Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3365337, member: 37"] Just for clarification I don't disagree with your premise of how CV needs to play and be utilized in the future. My disagreement is exclusively about his utilization in the Indiana game particularly the statement I highlighted. Are you saying CV shouldn't have played in the Indiana game? At least indicate what option would have been better based on what players were doing in that game. As far as I could tell the only non starter who played well enough to earn minutes in that game was Sid and he would have been a bigger disaster running the point than CV or playing him with a lineup of Alterique, Akok, Josh and Tyler. Hypothetically Adams, Bouknight or Gaffney could have played better if CV had not played at all in that game but that can't be proven nor was it likely based on what we saw in the minutes they did play. Our biggest lead was after a jumper made by Christian to put the team up 26-16 with 5:16 remaining in the first half. In that period Christian had two assists, a 3pt fg, that jumper, one steal, two turnovers, 3 D rebounds and two missed threes. He was responsible for more than a third of the scoring. The wheels came off of the bus for CV and the team when both Akok and Gilbert got two fouls. CV missed a 3 pointer, Brendan fouled, Josh had a turnover, Christian made one of two FTs, Christian TO, Christian steal and fouled, Christian misses the front end of a 1-1, Bouknight TO, D rebound by Adams, TO by Christian, foul by Tyler, missed jumper by Al, TO by Christian, missed 3 pt by Al, O rebound by Christian followed by assist to Josh, missed 3 pt by Tyler. CV's 3 To's and the missed FT's in those last five minutes were huge. But he only took one shot. No one else was doing anything in that span. The whole team should have been benched those last five minutes of the first half and Hurley and Taliek should have suited up. [/QUOTE]
