The Great, The Good and The Ugly.
What a tremendous team win. That second half was an absolute clinic of basketball, both ends of the court. Underwood is firing on all cylinders. "Toughness!" Let's go with that! All aboard. The train is rolling!
Ayo again was damn near flawless. 18 pts and 11 assists! So many proper decisions, That bullet pass to Kofi down low, just brilliant. and don't forget at about the 4 minute mark, they cut it to 9 and guess who? Ayo with two massive midrange elbow extended jumpers. pretty much sealed the W.
Trent, my man, love this kid. The world is yours and keep filling it up. When he rains, we pour it on. Right from the start he was hitting. Again, despite make a turnover or two, he was a legit ball handling point guard. So happy he is finding his shots and leading this team. Perfect from the line doesn't hurt either.
Throw it Down! Big Man! Throw it Down! Kofi is truly an unstoppable force down there. Blocks, Rebounds, Scoring. Everything you can ask for. Plain and simple he has changed the team. Offenses must be aware a legitimate shot blocker is waiting for you. Shot looked great today. I hope Dakich is wrong, I want one more year of this dude.
Special shout out goes to Georgi, who is getting way too many borderline calls against, zebras got clean that up a bit. 2/3 from 3 is making the other team pay. I think he had a very solid 20 minutes tonight.
So this has to be said, Griffin cannot act like that, something I'm sure he knows. I don't mind his chippy behavior on the court, the trash talk, the extra little mustard here or there. That's all within the scope of the game and i chalk that up to I am giving it all out here and you will feel my presence. That is what he brings. But intentional stepping on a dude is a different animal entirely. That is Rodman esque. I've had more than my share of rush of blood moments in the heat of competition so I get it, but own it, apologize to your team(they are the ones that got off to a dream start only to have it come crashing down because of your actions), and don't let it define you. We will see what he is made of in the next couple of games. Eyes will be on him, and other teams will now get physical and try an bait him.
Love where this team is right now. So much fun.
