His indicision hurts and allows the defense to gather around him but he had
a good nite with assists.

This may be a tiring time of year for Yiri, don't know how much time he has
played in past years. Maybe it's the wall thing.

As long as McCarty keeps making 3's he'll get the time. Carroll may have
left Banks in a little too long in the 4th.

Davis makes key plays every game and is definitely an asset. After Pierce
missed the foul throw, Davis came up big with a rebound, like he soared out
of nowhere to get it. This is what we need each nite. Another guy stepping
up somehow.

This summer I hope someone takes him under their wings and works on
shooting.

I like him over MIhm. He also needs summer work on ball handling.

Same question. Where was the Master?
