Eddie, there is a reason that some players seem to have their best games against us. Doc doesn't have a clue about matchups. A big goes off (like that guy Jake last season - I think he only plays good against us) and Doc goes small ball instead of having a big in there guarding him. But then again, Doc doesn't stress defense in practice so our guys don't know how to guard the pick and roll and have trouble defensively. I do see improvement in our overall defense this season.

Well, the test always comes in the next game after a big win. We looked incredible in all facets in our last game and we have to see if we can continue playing at that level. NJ has our number and this will be a test for us. I'm looking forward to seeing if we can once again play sticky defense that causes a bunch of turnovers and outrebound our opponent.
Doc needs to continue givng Powe minutes. On top of that, Jefferson also needs to get playing time because his confidence is starting to grow. These two guys are aiming to be rebounding forces off the bench, and I think they can give us that.

I expect Powe to have another stellar game with scoring, rebounding, and tough defense.
