LOL that's funny cause it's true.

the foot that been tweaked was the opposite one he did last time, so he gets a free pass for tonight. i didn't like arroyo's game as much in the 1st half, he dribbled in and took some ill-advised running jump shots without even passing, but he did okay overall.

evans was just non-existant and carter exposed him - while rip played good D on carter, and tay surprisingly played jefferson very very well - jefferson used to physically abuse tay in the past. attribute a part of that to tay being a lot more aggressive on offense. darko didn't look great, didn't look terrible...just held down the fort.

i'm not concerned about the outside shooting. NJ knew they were outmatched in the post so they stacked it and hoped their strength - the 3 guys on the perimeter - could do a decent enough defensive job to win them the game. it's the gameplan i'd use. but hey we hit the open shots, and if they're giving it to us, do it until it stops working (which it never stopped!!).

oh and krstic is terrible, yer right micro on the blown calls. krstic seriously travels EVERY time he tries to post up, while throwing countless elbows and fouling offensively. he's awful.

i would've loved to see delfino and jmax in the game - at this point i think their energy could spark that 2nd unit. they haven't been playing that great overall, but they haven't been terrible (just inconsistent), so i'm willing to pass it off as one of their worse games and be concerned but not panicking yet.
