Its like he thinks this is a big game, and tightened up just a bit on his rotation. Relax, the more the young kids play, the more we are going to beat teams up. Energy is the key. |
Flip admittedly hates going away from lineups that are playing well. Dyess had a fantastic game sans his usually reliable 17'er, so you know Flip wasn't trying to pull him out of the game. As this team plays better it's going to be a new challenge for Flip to stick to a consistent sub pattern.

He just knows what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. He just KNOWS how to play the game of basketball in a way that helps his team win. While it may not be so noticable, his D was fantastic, Luther Head was hot early, when I checked the boxscore Head ended the game 4-12, AA locked him down on a night where he had it going early. Also Mike James, a gunning scoring guard did not even get a shot off while in the game, BTW AA was checking him, coincedence????
