... I gotta say the guy had a good game last night. Didn't settle for the one-dribble pull up. Went to the rack and got some easy ones and some chances at the free throw line. Also came up huge a couple times on the boards. Nice game, Trav. -Pop
And that dunk he had was CRAZY-- too bad he got called for Palming. But holy shit, i thought he was really flying... I actually had a catch 22 when he went up... did he just do that???
Yeah, he took one of his favorite jumpers and I was thinking "back to the bench Travis". Then he started getting to the rim with ease and really helped to turn the tide in that game.
I agree Travis looked very comfortable out there, didn't take stupid shots and had some very critical rebounds. The best thing? He took some pressure off of Brandon by consistently generating his own (good) shots in the second half. Well done Trav ... now keep it up!
I think that the difference in this game was that Travis was not rushing anything. He took his time - and this allowed him to get better shots. That was a very good game for Travis - probably his first really good one of the year - and that's a good thing - because a good Travis is a very valuable player off the bench.
Travis definitely needs to continue taking advantage of that leaping ability and get to the rack. Martell too, when he comes back. If he becomes a two trick pony on offense... well, that's certainly better than one.
