[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1246962, member: 588137"] Very untrue! Tate was on him tight for most of the game and we tried quite a wide variety of defensive alignments to stop him... kid just had an unbelievable game. Now, I think we should have tried a few more full court presses, half court traps, and double teams to slow him down (especially in the last 2 minutes), but to say we didn't guard the kid is some kind of hyperbole. Also, from being court-side for this one, let me just say that almost every shot Keon made was more difficult than it looked on TV. Some of the angles and body control he had to utilize was really impressive. I actually thought we did real well to only send him to the line 4 times given his 85% career FT effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
