i think flip's defensive scheme on Howard is good. They've contained him rather well and the guys have not allowed too many easy buckets. Howard is working very hard. starting dyess was a good change too. i think if we lost, you couldn't blame flip for it. we were in it until the end and that no time out was a good idea since it never allowed them to really set their defense. you can't really ask for more.
credit rip for playing his game and coming up big too.
