Larry Sanders
9/11/1/3 blocks / 5 fouls - 16 minutes.
That's a seriously busy statline - dude was on 25 boards per 36 pace.
I want to see lots more Sanders. That guy is made of pure hustle. He just needs to stop shooting those cruddy jumpers, and start making the one easy layup he blows per game.
I was at the game, Sanders played well in the second half. It was when he went out (5 fouls) and Gooden came in, the Knicks made their run almost coming back from like 16 down. Gooden did the opposite of defending the paint.
First half, Sanders was not good. Worst part was the last minute of the half. Skiles was pissed on like the 2nd or 3rd to last offensive position, since Sanders wasn't where he was supposed to be. The ensuing defensive possession was Knick ft's, and Skiles took him aside and talked to him. Then on the last possession, ballhandler on top and 3 guys on the baseline, Sanders around the ft line but supposed to be on the baseline. Skiles and he make eye contact and Skiles yells at him to get to the baseline, then 5 seconds later had to yell again for him then to come up and do a pick and roll.
