Denver game thoughts

[Rohan Prashad <rprasha@clemson.edu>]

It is good to beat a team we have so much recent history with, although it 
shouldn't have been this hard.
I listened to the game on WEEI and both Howard and Ced were very frustrated 
with the teams' play throughout the second half.

The team got a boost from Kenny to start the game. Kenny had a couple nice 
passes in transition to get the team some easy baskets.
However, he still shot too much and pulled up for a long jumper a couple of 
times in the 2nd half.

Walker had a very nice line: 26 pts, 11 reb, 4 assists. He had 7 boards in 
the first quarter, but only 4 the rest of the game w/ overtime!? McDyess 
must have controlled the glass after the 1st. Walker also seemed to make a 
lot of nice passes that led to shooting fouls and therefore no assist. The 
team also bumbled a couple of nice passes by Antoine too.

I really love the way Paul has been getting to the free throw line this 
season. That really saved us this game. However, and the announcers 
stressed this, he still makes poor decisions and had 4 turnovers.

There was a funny moment after the game. Howard David was interviewing 
Kenny Anderson and asked him about the last play. Kenny was trying to 
describe the play by Milt Palacio to set up the game winner, but couldn't 
remember his name! I guess that's understandable with the rotating point 
guard commitee recently.

Moiso got some playing time tonight and was pretty active. Had a block, few 
rebounds, and a jam that electrified the crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if 
Moiso starts to eat into Vitaly's minutes. He still is too mistake prone 
for any significant time though.

Pitino favorite Tariq Abdul-Wahad notched a DNP-CD this game, and I think 
he has for the past few games.
