He needs to run the pick and roll as effectively as Lucas who keeps hitting Baxter and Lohner for bunnies. For some reason he has been hesitant to drive. He should drive and dish more and take the outside looks only when unchallenged. Ames

His +- numbers say he should be getting more minutes. Lucas is not the same kind of force on defense but he makes our offense run. Biggest roadblock right now is Johnson whose +- numbers were the best on the team last night. Numbers don’t lie.

I think Pope is making the right moves and getting the right guys on the floor. The dude wants to win. As a coach he sees the value in lock down defense like we played for much of the second half yesterday.
