[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1498676, member: 4069"] Glass is only half empty my friend. Yes, there were mistakes aplenty, but we closed out the game nicely. I think we'll be a good home team this year. My worry is traveling outside the state. Some observations: Kofi is so good, he's bad! He's been so successful, that he looks bad with a double double on a night where he struggled at times to get good position. He tried to bull his way to the basket from poor position, and tried to beat good double teams without looking for an open man or simply passing out of the post, but you don't learn these things without game experience. Kipper: Just when I start to disrespect him, he goes out and has a great game. Good for him. He had an NBA spin move down the lane with great touch off the glass..had me swoon. Flashes of greatness... Giorgi had a better game, and we used our size well against a weaker group, but I'm not sure that works in the BIG. Need better guard play. Ayo on a bad night is still a plus player, but he's still working through his funk. We had every flavor of turnover, and that's not uncommon early in the year. [/QUOTE]
