I haven't looked at his +/- from the game, but it seemed like every time he was on the floor BG would make a little run to close the gap again. He was worse than atrocious Friday.

I just did a quick calc based on the play by play and came up with Clayton a +24 and Wiz a -17. That is startling. In each of the 5 runs Wiz had in the game the score diff went the wrong direction. It was truly horrific.

And Ruck....we are the bad guys for backing up The Whiz analysis with real numbers. You hope Boals and Co. curtail his minutes in March. If we are going to lose in March, you go down with your best guys on the court in Cleveland. Can't be sitting Clayton and Hadaway for extended minutes next week. If Hadaway or Clayton get in foul trouble, just go smaller with Elmore or Sheldon or Cornish. We have a better shot at surviving a 2-3 minute stretch with these guys on the court and The Whiz on the bench.

I can't comprehend people saying The Whiz has improved from last season to this season. An improvement would be able to 1.) catch the ball and 2.) set a legal screen. He's unable to do either one.

No way he should see the floor in Cleveland foul trouble be damned. Play 5 guards if necessary.

Clayton can't play 40 minutes every night. Chatman played all 40 last night and certainly lost the zip in his game late. But Cleveland is a 3 night deal, so for better or worse, Wiz is going to have to play some. I wonder if Boals considered using Cornish as an undersized five for spot duty? The Defiance "game" would have been a good time to try that out.
