Gene,

Banks had a high number of TOs but still turned in a double double with 22 
points and 10 dimes; Hunter turned in a double double with 26 (?) points and 12 
boards; and Kedrick was unstoppable in the 2nd half and made like 8 or 8 
straight baskets on an assortment of inside, mid range , and 3 point shots and had 
an absolutely heart stopping, two handed flush on an alley oop from Bremer 
that had everyone oohing and aahing.

There has to be a place on this team for Hunter. He just carves out space and 
I thought did a pretty good job tonight of finishing around the basket over 
taller players. I also thought he outplayed Sweetney. I believe the announcers 
said the C's had 40 points in the paint and I'll bet they didn't attempt more 
than 7 or 8 three pointers all game. Banks is simply electrifying. He made 
frank Williams look like a CYO player out there tonight. The C's also doubled up 
the Knicks on fast break points as well IIRC.
