First, the good . . .
the team came back twice to pull within one point
Evans grabbed 15 rebounds in 22 minutes (and they out-rebounded
Toronto as a team)
Korver hit 20 points on good shooting
The bad . . .
they fell so far behind that they _had_ to make a pair of comebacks
AI's 7 turnovers
poor team defense resulting in Toronto shooting .495 from the field
bad free throw shooting (14 for 23)
So, overall, I think the consensus is that they looked better last
night than they did during the preseason but to win against good teams
they have little to no margin of error--they have to rebound, shoot,
play D, protect the ball, and hit their free throws. If even one of
those ingrediants is missing, they have little chance to beat a .500
or better NBA team
