Sorry about coming late to the party. I finally had a chance to watch the game.
This is looks like a very good team we have this year! Yes, it's early and there were a lot of turnovers and fouls, but we moved the ball extremely well, worked for good shots, and took the ball down the lane when it was there. They played together as a team, got open, gave help when needed. As with last year, the players did a nice job of sealing off help defenders and giving the ball carrier some space to get to the basket. We worked to get good switches and then took advantage of the mismatches.
The defense had lapses but they used often used their hands well and got turnovers. We played a lot of excellent man-to-man defense. Everyone played hard on defense all night. We doubled well, fought for rebounds, and boxed out!
And now we have some players who can put the ball in the basket. (I love the nickname The Crotty Kid.) I think it's going to be fun season at last!
