Kind of a lethargic and a joyless game to watch. Both teams doesnt seem to be playing with much energy or fun. Except for dieng who is 2 boards away from a double double. Cousins is a tough match up for him.
Weird that our bench got us the lead in this game.
Brewer only with 2 shots. Everyone seems to agree that it was a once in a lifetime game from brew and he is back down to earth tonight. Our starting back court has 0 points combined.
Yikes, Rubio has a horrific stat line, 0 assists. He is an enigma
EDIT: Nevermind, I was looking at Martin's stat line, Rubio with 6 assists

For much of his college year, he was a consensus top 3 pick, and them scouts began to notice he had a tendency to disappear. I don't think anyone thought he would ever drop down to our pick though. Maybe there was discussion about trading up to get him, because for most of the year he was considered the best SG in the draft.
He hasn't been good at all this year...serious bust potential.
McLemore has a bit of Wes Johnson in him. Terrific athlete and really smooth looking stroke, but fairly poor handles and inability to get all the way to the hoop. I think eventually his shot will come around, but he may end up just being a 3-point specialist.
I wouldn't quite say that Dieng dominated that half, but he certainly played a major hand in helping us control it. Very impressive. Love was solid, but he hasn't been himself since he came to the realization that our playoff hopes were dashed. Martin was horrible.
That last play by Dieng that led to the Love 3 shows what he can do that Pek can't, and why he needs to get at least 35 minutes a game next year. With his quick feet, he ran down a rebound in the corner, and then had the court presence to cross court a pass to an open Love for the three. He surprises me a little more every night...his upside is scary.
