The C's  played with passion, purpose, energy, or whatever you want to label 
it and equally as important, they were knocking down shots early on. Quite a 
contrast to the Vancouver game. They were up 15 after Qtr 1; and 22 at the 
break.

I was glad to see Chris Carr get some meaningful minutes early on (as opposed 
to merely a token appearance long after this or any other contest has (had)  
been decided). He also played some pretty good "D". Perhaps he finally 
realizes to get PT he has to bring his lunch bucket and hard hat on the other 
end of the court.

Kenny had a nice bounce back game from the egg he laid north of the border. 
And as you alluded to - how about Eric Williams????   13 points on just 3 FG 
attempts; a perfecto 10 - 10 from the FT line. That's what I'm talkin' about. 
Not only was he playing to his strength by posting up and taking it to the 
rack but more importantly he was knocking down his FT's. And the residual 
benefit is he was rang up team fouls on Seattle. Playing to that strength the 
remainder of the season would be a huge lift for the team off the bench. 
Hopefully, Obie will be able to incorporate him, Carr, V, and Herren into a 
cohesive 2nd team rotation. The question remains what to do when battie 
returns? Does O'Brien tinker with the chemistry and re-insert Battie as a 
starter for Blount???

Let's see what happens tomorrow night when they move another 200 miles south 
to Portland. If it's anywhere close to being as beneficial as the 200 mile 
trip between Vancouver and Seattle was, I can hardly wait.
