This one turned out like the last meeting, except we had no comeback. The bright side is this Butler kid is really good in garbage time. Maybe he'll make the rotation, soon. Our starters pretty much sucked, especially on offense.
Yeah, right. In this crazy season not having Rip certainly puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team. I can't say that I really care about the loss last night -- there's going to be games like that. I was happy for Butler but he looks like small forward, doesn't he?
He looked pretty good. Hard to judge much in garbage time. Yah, I'm not that bummed about the loss either. This season is crazy. In a way, I'm a little worried about Thibs hard driving style in this condensed season. I could imagine a few burn out games like this. Rip has to play. I'm getting really pissed that our 2 guard upgrade isn't on the court. All that matters is playoff time, yes, but still. A little frustrating. At least with Bogans the 1st unit was effective and Brewer could be part of the also effective "bench mob." Now everything is all gummed up.
