2 Questions Mens Bball

I was thinking the same thing about the Cincy guy. It’s a good thing he is decent as basketball with a name like that.

That’s his nickname.

Ummm that is Edgerrin James’ son. If you know who that even is…

We won with 19 turnovers because we shot well. Utah made a conscious effort to get looks for Gabe (lots of high screens, etc.) and it paid off. He found his shooting touch, especially as the game wore on, and got to the rim and drew fouls. Unlike the rest of the team, Gabe is nails from the line. Plus Keanu and Ezra (until he got into foul trouble) were doing work and getting high-percentage shots.

It was a fun, entertaining game, and glad to see us come out on the right side of a close one.

We won the rebounding battle 36-21 which as a huge help. Did well from the line going 12-17. Helped that the Bearcats were poor from the line, including missing 3 front ends of 1 and 1s (cost a potential 6 points).

Was kind of crazy that when Shark got shoved off of the floor, earning a flagrant 2 on the opponent, that we came away with zero points.

Ezra started hot early, but opponent got aggressive, perhaps getting away with a few uncalled fouls and he got frustrated and was T’d up. Dawes had a good stretch in the second half helping up get back out in front.

I’ve been calling for Gabe to step inside the circle and attempt more makeable mid range jumper when his treys aren’t dropping which he finally did last night. He was 1-6 outside the arch last night (had another that went in but was waved off due to a moving screen) but a few of his misses were to beat the shot clock.

Team is showing they can compete with the lower part of this very challenging league. Glad that in a few recent close games (in particular the OT game against TD$$$) we’ve been able to pull it out down the stretch.
