First off, great win.
-I was impressed by the team defense, keeping Washington to 85 points at home despite their good shooters. Lopez, Boone and even Anderson and Yi blocked some shots and patrolled the paint well. Lots of smart fouls, too, nobody got off an easy shot under the basket.
-VC was efficient (9-17), didn't force up shots and kept the team above water in the clutch. Plus, he drove to the basket a lot instead of settling for jumpers and the results were great: either a dunk, layup, foul or a kick out to the open man in the corner (unfortunately, that was usually Bobby Simmons who was cold tonight).
-Jarvis Hayes...wow. 14 points on 6-9 shooting, 5 rebounds, overall a solid game. His shooting was key for us tonight.
-Harris is still struggling to fit into his new role BUT he did a pretty good job as PG tonight. Most importantly, he was efficient and didn't shoot too much, unlike in the pre-season.
-Our big men, as I said, played good D inside. Lopez forced up the fadeaway hook shot a bit too much tonight. Anderson proved that he can shoot from NBA range but to me it looks like he has to put in too much effort into his shot from deep.
-Yi was great again, despite foul trouble early on. He can definitely shoot from anywhere on the court.
-Finally, I was disappointed with Dooling who IMO didn't do well as the point guard on offense. His defense was good, but he too forced up too many tough shots including a floater in the paint which was obviously going to get swatted (McGee had the honor).
