Title: "He's got ju ju eyeballs."

Hope you had some fun with our Saturday, A.M., karoake.
    We should be rocking the walls with the big win last night. 
    Seriously; beating Phoenix anywhere, by 16 points is major.
    Besides the obvious; outrebounding them, shooting a higher percentage, making our free throws and having less turnovers, there were a few other features to the win, mostly gleaned from today's news stories, that seem worth noting;
    1. O'Brien was forthcoming in his decision to start Vitaly. He mentioned matchups as the reason. On a game to game basis, this seems like a sound policy. We often need Vitaly's scoring and he has always scored best with Anderson on the floor. He Also mentioned correctly that he wanted Blount's defense there for crunch time.
    2. A remarkable turnaround, for coach, in his recent statements; that "... if Anderson dressed, he would play." In reality, he did just the opposite. Again flexibility, not a bad thing.
    3. Palacio seems to be getting the idea that there are those nets at each end of the floor and sometimes it's good to throw the ball through one of them.
    4. Stith is markedly limping and would seem to be in danger of being burned out.
    5. Walker and Pierce are enjoying playing without Pitino and have accepted more of the true leadership role, than any would have imagined, after the way the season has progressed to date.
    6. One piece of advice, if you subscribe to one of those computorized NBA games, that statisticly recreates the 2000-2001 season, don't try to play the C's schedule backwards.
