But I think sometimes fans miss the little things that make huge differences in games, such as great defense, making the right play on offense, etc. For players who play a lot of minutes, I like to look at the +/- stat to see what the importance of having particular players on the floor is. There were some posts that were critical of Cattoor and Beran’s play today, but here is the +/- for our top 6 players today: Cattoor +13 Beran +11 Collins +3 Pedulla +3 Poteat + 2 Nickel +1 We won by 6, so the only players who actually hurt us by being on the bench, were Cattoor and Beran. They are our best defenders and without them, we lose the game.

And all season I just think we've been inconsistent. I thought beran and Nichel would provide a certain offense, kidd get his, cattoor and padula theirs. Obviously the team you are playing plays a role in expectations but we just seemed very inconsistent. Seeing the article on sos adds to that discussion.

No he isn't the offensive player we wanted at the 4, but dude plays his ass off and competes

MJ seems to have gained a lot of confidence. That shot-fake, the drive for the dunk at the end of the half was a crowd pleaser.

to the jump shot!

Rechsteiner did well and even big Pat made a couple plays
