We won but it was a pretty ugly game. We committed 24 turnovers. We were out rebounded on the offensive glass 17-5 (Again I ask, where was PERK? ?) Doc cut Ricky down to 35 minutes which was good.... But he played PP 42 minutes. Blount once again had 5 tunovers and gets 35 minutes and his man seemed to score at will. There were a couple bright spots.... Ricky's shot is back... Greene played great and hit clutch FTs down the stretch. We played some nice defense when we had to. But we HAVE to cut down on the unforced turnovers. We got the win but it wasn't pretty.

Awesome, FL12. I couldn't watch the game tonight so I had to rely on your play by play, and as usual, I don't feel like I missed a beat.
24 TO's are atrocious--and this after dedicating ourselves to protecting the ball. But, I guess to be fair, the Bobcats are a good team at causing TO's, and we may have been pressing too much to not turn the ball over (if that makes sense).
Glad we got the win, but its disappointing that it came at the expense of developmental time for Jefferson and Perkins.

Thanks again FL12! ! ! Solid like normal. I love to here Greene played good. Glad to be able to do it, Celtic17. I really like Greene. He played great. Never hesitated to take the open mid range jumper and hit it. He drove strong to the basket and hit 2 clutch free throws along with playing good defense, got 2 rebounds, and had a really nice assist inside down the stretch. Doc was just complaining on the post game interview about getting outrebounded so bad on the offensive glass. What does he expect when he gives our 2 best rebounders 3 and 19 minutes playing time respectively. the only thing I can think of is maybe they are showcasing the vets for a trade. Otherwise it makes no sense to leave them on the bench while we are getting out rebounded so badly.
