Shots and wasting possessions i thought i would see more praise on the board tonight for the dramatic effort the coaches and players made tonight to slow the game down.

Besides the stretch out of the first TV timeout and the 6 minute stretch where Weber caught up, there were many positives tonight. Most important was when the game got tight, EVERYONE on the team got the ball to the right guy. Defensive effort was better. I am not saying defense was great but the effort was better.

Emery forced a couple of times. TJ took good shots, guinn didn't take any..... The guards looked more in control.

By no means was it a great performance but the pace was much better... Rose, haws, and emery need to continue to figure out there roles.... And bryant needs to get healthy and figure himself out to.

Still a LONG ways to go but a good step tonight. Many more to take.
