[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1998109, member: 2886"] Yeah. Obviously comes from a solid family background, is patient and has worked hard. Lots of us note this on the Board regularly but when you watch him in isolation during the games the small things he does... the footwork, the defensive positioning, the movement on offense without the ball, the passing (>95% of them)... it's sublime and such a treat to enjoy. I love the little details about the game that create turnovers, stops and offensive opportunities. CoHawk does it all. I was so pleased last evening to see him shine, particularly down the stretch. And Quincy, man... if only we'd had him from the outset, what a beast. Also, Michigan is not bad. We're just a lot better that they are. After we punched them in the mouth early they hung with us for around 20 mins before we began to pull away 5-6 mins into the 2H after deciding to play consistent defense. For some reason I focused on McDaniel and Nkamhoua, who were really effective. Didn't realize until I got home that Reed had 20 and led them in scoring. We wore them down on D in the 2H. Once McDaniel started launching bricks from behind the arc, and Coleman seized kids' lunch money every other time down the floor, it was over. [/QUOTE]
