Lots of good grades to go around today:
Gilyard: Good lord. He had 0 points and 1 shot at half and we commented that we still thought he was the first half MVP. And then the second half game and he was just completely took over on both ends of the court. His court awareness and anticipation are on a different level than every other player on the court. Special player.
Goose: I thought this was Goose's best game all year. Yeah, the dunk and alley oop will get the attention, but what he did on the defensive glass on the first half was pretty special. He only got credits for 2 blocks but he misdirected several others.
Sherod: Anytime he hits his first shot, he usually is in for a good night. His shot was pure all night and he also added 9 boards. Great game, that is what we want from him every night.
Golden: No one has been more critical of Golden's defense than I have. He stayed between his man and the bucket all night and didn't give up any easy points. Exactly what we want from him on defense. He had some great looks on offense with 6 assists.
Cayo: Only player who didn't have a good game. 5 turnovers in 19 minutes. Yikes. Perhaps he was a bit tentative first game back.
Francis: Typical Francis, gonna take a lot of shots and score a lot of points and be a general pest out there for the other team. Would like to see a little bit more game awareness when we have the lead. We don't need a spin around 3 point shot when your up 20 with 15 seconds left of the shot clock.
Grace: Played a decent game. Still soft on defense at times, but played much better tonight than recent games.
Sal and Woj: Both played, nothing noteworthy from either.
Moondog: Thought he did a really good job of managing Cayo and Grant in their first game back. Got them frequent rest throughout the game.
