[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 973991, member: 253"] What a strange game. But as many others have said, an ugly win is a win, and we will take it. I agree that previous teams would have folded and lost this game. We were down 14 in the second half!!! Here is a summary of some things I saw: What I liked: -The leadership from the core guys. We have a lot of new faces, but we also have a veteran team with guys who have played a lot. They, like their coach, don't get rattled. -Kelly taking over. He is that guy. -Finally taking what the defense was giving. I don't like ISO basketball, but when they are parking the 5 under the basket, you screen up top and give your playmaker the ball. That's what we did. -Only 7 turnovers. -The defense in a few stretches. When we ticked up the intensity and effort, we shut them down. -Claude is a MAN down low. He had the team's best +/- with +9. -Reeves does all the little things well. What I didn't like: -The defense for the other 30+ minutes. There was a lot of getting backed down and getting blown past and leaving guys open. It was, other than those two stretches in the second half (that won the game), really atrocious defense. -Gapare and Abram still don't look comfortable. -Missed floaters and 5-foot jumpers. We missed approximately 5,932 shots inside 10 feet. -22% from three and 59% from the charity stripe aren't going to cut it. How in the world did we still score 88? For what it's worth, like many others, I was impressed with Howard's play. They were athletic, and they have some playmakers. They will be a top team in their league. I think we can build on this and continue to get better. Its nice when you play poorly and still win sometimes. We shot the ball horribly and played horrible defense for 30 minutes...and still won. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
