Would have had 30 if Hurley didn't play him 36 minutes today.  Too many minutes for his 2nd game back, against a high ranked team.  Bouk played the most minutes on the team, and only second to Gillespie (37) for the game.

Plus I noticed him hobbling after he ran back after getting the ball stolen.  I saw him flexing his hands repeatedly, after he fell hard on his arm/elbow.  I saw his leg 'acting up'.  I saw him winded/panting quite often during the game.  I saw him shorting his jump shots, missing foul shots (4-8), making fatigue mistakes, lazy/telegraphed passes, playing unusually off kilter and grabbing his shorts resting on defense.

I don't blame Hurley per se, but the coaching staff collective. The assistants should have been eagle eyed to spot what I noted above as they are right there.  Furthermore in hindsight Bouk's 1st half effort seemed to take a lot of out of him, then add Jay Wright's game plan executed to perfection in the 2nd half.  You could sense he was trying too hard, uncharacteristically forcing things.

All this to say, I really think if Bouk's minutes were in the 20s, he could have got 30 easily.  And possibly take us home down the stretch.
