I think, as has been suggested, that we need an inside game., Whether Hurley likes it or not Clingan needs to be part of that inside game either with Adama or while he rests. That's a one-two combination punch but it will not work with Clingan sitting on the bench and getting seven minutes again while our outside shooters put up increasingly more shots and Sanogo gets worn down at the latter part of the game. [B]The last 10 minutes should be the part of the game we really dominate.[/B] Take a look at the minutes their players put up. Our pressure in the last 10 minutes seemed to rattle them. Maybe we should have done more of that earlier in the game; especially with Diarra who is very quick and gives us that breakaway speed going the other way. The last 10 minutes is supposed to be OUR STRENGTH. We played right into the opponent's strategy. Players that can get the ball safely to Clingan inside is the other piece to this scenario. Their outside shooting is better than ours, especially on the road. Dan Hurley has to use a strategy that will impose our will against them with whatever will work and if we can get Clingan going it will really demoralize the opponent and keep Adama more rested which will make him more effective.
