One, so-called, "Man's Opinion:" Personally, I don't care what kind of lineup a squad fields. There is NO Excuse for being out-rebounded by TWICE the amount of Boards. This is what happened to the DFenders Sunday Night: 54 (Warriors), 27 (DFenders). All I would have on my "chalkboard" for the team to "VIEW"would be: 54 v 27 with a GIANT CIRCLE around it. The DFenders had chances to win this ballgame in spite of the rebounding discrepancy. Kuzmic (Warriors) is a nice player. He is Big. He takes up space, etc. And he can put these kinds of stats up on a given night (like Sunday): 22 pts, 18 Boards (11 Offensive) in 30 minutes. FULL BOX SCORE of GAME.
The DFenders HAVE BIGS. Two Seven-Footers in fact; Eloy Vargas and Ater Majok. They combined, Sunday eve, for 11 Boards. These two need to wake up and smell the coffee if they want to get a "Sniff" from the NBA. If you cannot hold Kuzmic in check in "the D" you don't stand a chance in "the league." FACT.
No Excuses. Roscoe Smith is a nice player and the DFenders leading rebounder, but his absence should have only opened the 7-Foot Doors for both Mr. Majok and Mr. Vargas. Perhaps you need to open that door a little more Mr. Smith?
Personally, I am more concerned with who is eyeing their overseas opportunities rather than becoming a cohesive, championship-contending unit. This team has a nice collection of talent. Has had the talent all year, so why are there so many games where players, seemingly, play more for "self" and less for "team."
I part with these quotes from Coach John Wooden:
"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make
big things happen."
"Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given.
Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
"The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the
team."
"Success comes from knowing that you did your best
to become the best that you are capable of
becoming."
