well, that was a very mediocre performance by both teams...
except for our defensive pressure and their three point shots and rebounding, there would be nothing engaging for any fan of either team.
Nevertheless, Branch didn't get this third. Sampson seems essentially ok, though he got whacked regularly with no fouls called on his defenders. Pointer seems to be playing well enough on defense and hit some threes to make this within reach.
So, IF we can penetrate the zone off the dribble with Branch or Sampson or Greene (please) we might pull this out with our defense. The Big O can block a few and will probably last the second half since there were few fouls called.
I would bench Jones and Frenchman unless someone needs a breather.
