I only caught the last few minutes of tonight's game but this may be a smart
move protecting the ball from the mad bomber. Strickland is not the most
talented but he brings energy every night off the bench. Definitely an
asset.

I fully admit that I am not a Strickland fan, but he made some good plays
tonight. The only thing I didn't like was with about a minute left, when
Strick had the ball at the top of the key. Walker was calling for it, but
Strick wouldn't give it to him. You could see Walker getting frustrated and
finally yelled at Strickland to give him the ball. Gorman even noted that
Obie was screaming at Strickland to give Antoine the ball. That seems
ridiculous to me. Strickland, for all his intensity, does not know his role
on the team. He thinks he is a star... he needs to learn that he is nothing
more than a role player.
