Don't know if he was mad that he hadn't gone in yet and wasn't going to with 1 minute left or if he was mad they were losing. Didn't look good, though.
good for him. i like that he's gettin mad at the shafting he's getting.
as for tonight's game, with the benefit of hindsight, perhaps if we come up against someone like Howard who's knocking down shots, contested or not, that we should take the chance on trying to match his firepower with JJ's? not the entire game, but for spurts? there couldn't have been much difference in points for and against if Bogan's 0-3 shooting was swapped with JJ knocking down 1,2 or maybe even all 3 of those OR merely creating room for Hedo, Lewis or Howard to take a better shot. even if Josh scored a basket or two extra in that time, it'd still be equal, but we'd have the momentum of shots made.
PLUS, SVG is saying that he needs to find a way to get the offense starting earlier and creating more shots for Lewis, Hedo and Howard. here's an idea..... try the guy on the bench who commands respect from his defender, can hit shots and can find the open man???
side note, i'm becoming more and more enamoured with Mo Ev the longer the season goes on and hope he comes back next season. i think he's a great addition and i'll give Otis credit on picking him up. Bogans on the other hand just seems to fade farther off the map with every game. he's seriously slumped BADLY since the season began.
