Ahh, our team is back.

It was really refreshing to see Asik & Gibson get some minutes.

(I like the fire and firepower that Granger has shown. He hasn’t every really stood out (for me) in his career.)

I think the concept is that you can get away with playing a poor defender at the end of the game, because teams will just rely on their go-to guy at the end of the games. Early in the game, on the other hand, coaches will use strategy to try to take advantage of an opponent’s weaknesses.

Korver played very strong last game, he has been stepping up. He has rebounded well, and he made a nice steal too.

Rose however cannot make his shots, and it seems that HE MISSED EVERY ONE SHORT. I bet he had 10 consecutive shots hit off the front of the rim last game. Did he not notice that? Or his teammates?Couldn’t one of them say “Hey Derrick, go for the back of the rim next time.”?

Definitely agree with the need for more Korver – he isn’t even getting killed on defense against Indiana. Any possession they give to George or Rush is a positive. It’s actually kind of strategic; it baits Vogel into isolating mediocre offensive players on a below-average defender. He’s gotten into that at several points so far – it’s tempting, but it hasn’t really worked for them.

Honestly, the way that Bogans has been shooting, he can support the 2 unit well enough, even to draw a defender …
