I only got to see the first half (so far) but here are my impressions anyway:
-
Nice to see Perkins on the floor. He's in mid-season form with fouls at least.
-
The starting unit just looks so good out there. Crisp passes, smothering defense, open looks. Fun to watch.
-
Ray just abused Wally left and right.
-
I liked seeing O'Bryant (PO Box 26? Notorious POB?) block a LeBron shot.
-
It is good that Tony is being aggressive, but he's still out of control too much.
-
Saw one nifty baseline move by Miles, but that's about it.
Some box score observations:
-
DNP-CD's for the two rookies, Cassell, and Scalabrine. Hmmmmm.
-
Powe put up a nice stat line.
-
Tony pulled down 6 boards.
-
Not much else from the bench. Other than Powe, the bench shot 6 for 25 from the floor.
