    What's not to like about this win....you rarely get to beat a team like the Rockettes on a bad shooting night, but to blow them out....wooooo!

    Oddly, Henderson was our only minus performer at -1. CJ was +25!

    Between 11-30 and 12-07 (5 games) he had 4 games of under .350 shooting (26%, 17%, 25%, 35%).

    Between 01-04 and 01-16 (6 games) he shot under 40% in all those games (33%, 30%, 34%, 30%, 40%, 33%)

    And in ALL those games he shot at least 15 shots.

    So, no. Your assumption is completely wrong.

    Have to admit, this is the Henderson I thought we got, before I lost faith.

    Still looks too much like Kobe though. No getting over that. ;)

    Play had been set, Meyers didn't move to his position, Hendo stepped back and slammed the ball into the wood in frustration because Meyers is an idiot. Seemed odd to see such a public reaction like that. It may be a bit of a tell that certain people on the team are a bit over Meyers. Best indicator yet that he may not be here next year. (Or next month perhaps)

    Very true. His game has come along nicely though after working himself back in after the surgery.

    They played so much better in the fourth when HardFlop was on the bench.

    I was surprised to see that reaction on the court too. But there is only a certain number of times you can see play killing mistakes from someone before you snap a little.

    This team can look so good and so bad at the same time. I can't believe how many missed dunks/layins they've had the last two games, and all the really bad turnovers. And to get up 32 was awesome, but then they just stop playing. So frustrating. But for the most part I loved the defense and LOVE beating those cocksuckers from Houston.

    Sounds like Hendo was doing his Kobe impression. ;)

    One thing about Henderson, the guy has hops, and he likes to use them.

    We show a ton of youth. It will all work itself out.
