RE: Tonight's game

["Orion" <jlyell@netzero.net>]

I am not a big Strickland fan but I had a totally different viewpoint. His
aggressiveness won this game for us plain and simple. He wasn't afraid to
attack the rim which a point should do if given the opportunity.  He beat
his man off the dribble several times. They gambled that he would not beat
them from the outside, and he did.  This is the type of game we need from
others more often when Antoine & Pierce are having off nights.

I know I am in the minority, especially after a win, but I am in no way
shape or form an Erick Strickland fan. For every game like tonight, there
are 5 games where he costs us the game. I have never seen someone with such
a shoot-first mentality. He makes so many bad decisions offensively. It is
completely frustrating to watch him play. Too bad he didn't sprain his ankle
instead of Kenny.

Also, in a game like tonights, where you are searching for any type of
energy, why does Kedrick not get off the bench? Tonight seemed like the
perfect game to put him in and try and cause a spark.

Don't get me wrong... I'm thrilled they won. But this was a thoroughly
frustrating game to watch.
