    wow rudy T implanted the pick and roll. ive never see it used this consistently. and it worked beautifully. francis was shooting right behind the pick or driving around it. finally!

    now all we need is some more passing and movement and a fast break.

    our defense is looking better everyday.

    I think the most heartening thing is the quotes by francis, mobley and others in the chronicles articles of the win and other such AP articles on the net. Theses guys DO realize that they are a better team when they get away form the ISO's somewhat and move the ball around.

    24 assists versus 10 turnovers.

    Just awesome.

    I remember seeing Francis and Bullard run "pick-and-roll" type plays over and over again in the 3rd and 4th quarters. 10-15 times?

    We'd start out in almost in the same set as a standard Francis ISO (wing entry, 4 men on the weak side), but Bullard would run over a set a high pick every time. Francis shot jumpers behind the pick sometimes, drove the lane sometimes, kicked back to Bull sometimes...

    Doesn't that just make your hearts burst with joy [​IMG]?
