After seeing them play Memphis last night maybe there'll be some excitement
this season, I don't have my hopes up for post season play but at least it
appears they'll be entertaining. I like the up-tempo game and they pushed
the ball down the court more last night than they did all season under
Carllily. There were a several moments they even displayed flashes of
desire
to play scrappy defense, although this wasn't sustained albeit 115 points
given up to the Grizzlies.
The faster pace should take some of the scoring load off O'Neal and last
night was the first time in 2 years I didn't have to watch the throw it
down
to JO-stand around-while the D collapses offense. One glaring weakness is
no
legitimate center, not seeing any improvement with Murphy and Foster
platooning over last year. Hopefully the Doctor of Fouls, Harrison will
show something this year as I think we'll need 3 players to cover the
center
position.
