| Re: Indiana Jan 28th 6:30 PM First half review
Billups: excellent shooting... good defensive effort to startr the game quickly faded off... got torched by Tinsley after Hunter let him heat up
Hamilton: bad shooting... unselfish... forced up some shots against the zone... gambled too much on defense but generally effective
Prince: typically soft and slow... he gets beaten off the dribble... he gets beaten off cuts... he's slow to make rotations... his best defensive effort of the night was a showboat block during a dead ball... he refuses to even think about rebounding... he might be the worst rebounder over 6-7 I've ever seen... he hit a few open jumpshots and missed some layups... he couldn't hold his position on the block... the $50 million invisible man
Wallace: good energy on defense... foul trouble... didn't get the ball when he asked for it on the block... missed some jumpshots... aggressive game
Webber: keeps on missing that jumphoook... decent but typically slow defense... quick hands... excellent rebounding
Hunter: I can't say enough about how awful this man was... he shut down the offense... he forced up awful shots... he played his typically bad pick-and-roll defense...
McDyess: extremely aggressive on offense and rebounding... good effort on defense, but picked up fouls as usual
Delfino: stayed too far off his man... stayed with Granger through screens, but bit on a ball fake... passive offensively against the zone
Davis: got called for some fouls... got stripped while gathering himself for a dunk
Maxiell: missed a shot... got a good defensive rebound... good anticipation for a steal... got a block... got a foul... subsequently yanked... got to the FT line in his second stint on an aggressive dunk attempt
Flip Saunders: experimenting with rotations... kept Hunter at point guard even after putting Billups back in |
