[QUOTE="Hummus, post: 1438115, member: 628914"] If there was ever a need for Kofi, tonight was all that was needed to justify said need. This team is young, inexperienced, and lacks a true identity; it has half Groce leftovers and new blood. This team will get longer, more athletic, and hopefully more talented. There were things to like about tonight's game, and there were things not to like. Yes, Alan would have helped, but Tev, having missed six games, is not game ready. Ayo was not himself; Giorgi, for as good as he can be for what he is, was beyond off; and the lack of depth at the post was exploited. If, and I mean IF, we bring back a mature Tev and complement this team with a Kofi and January; Samba will mature; and hopefully as I have said, the recruits will come. The scheme is there, but how are you going to adjust for something that you cannot correct? The intensity was there, we shot poorly in the second half, and we let them get easy buckets in the paint (along with several others shooting exceptionally well). This does not excuse BU, but please put this into perspective here; his only real faults were the minutes given to ADL and to TU. Other adjustments could have been made, but there was enough that I liked despite the loss. [/QUOTE]
