RE: Tonight's game

["Shawn Niles" <shizzjr@hotmail.com>]

I agree John that he won the game for us tonight. But playing the way he did 
tonight has lost us a number of games. When he gets the ball, 9 out of 10 
times you know he is going to shoot. He kills ball movement. Whenever the 
C's try to reverse or swing the ball, if it gets to Strickland, he kills 
that concept and jacks it up. Someone needs to tell him that he is an 
average role player and not a star.
He is the best at taking charges, and because seeing someone take a charge 
is so exciting, I think it causes people to overlook his deficiencies.
