Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 3848750, member: 1522"] After another awful start maybe the best we've played. RJ player of the game without a doubt. Couple typical sloppy plays from him but he hit all the big shots and made some really good passes that were botched. After a poor first half Tyrese was a huge difference maker in the second half, he made some of the biggest baskets of the game with tough drives, his and 1 after Xavier tied it was probably the biggest play of the game... We've been calling it all season to play fast and we finally did, we looked to push and score early instead of the slow down hand off offense which has bogged us down so much lately... We were longer and more athletic than them as we will be against pretty much anyone out there. Akok looked like he was on some sort of minutes restriction but he was a huge difference maker when he was in there, he totally changes us for the future and the right now. Jackson shot too many threes but he was barely missing them, I don't think he's a terrible shooter and he must be making them in practice for Hurley to green light him like that. It won't show up in the stats but he's always a difference maker. Polley missed some open ones but also hit a huge one and was much more aggressive. Not a good day for Sanogo but we know what he can do, he needs to be on the court with Akok. Whaley needs to play center when he's in there, he played well down the stretch. Intensity was there as soon Hurley went with our most athletic lineup and we never really looked back from there. Xavier came all the way back and we didn't fold like we've done in the past, quick 6-0 run. End of game situations are still a huge problem and need to be fixed but all and all a great win we should build on We now have a true 9 man rotation when Bouknight comes back, hopefully against Providence next game.
