Game 21- Buffalo

It is funny to hear the announcers indicate they did not expect a Buffalo blowout.  Everyone who follows the Zips on this board was expecting exactly what we have seen.  This team can play good defense for about 8 minutes and that is about it.  We just don't have any shooters right now that can hit the 3 ball.  That is supposed to be the strength of this team.  When we have to rely on our inside scoring it is tough.  Freeman is playing a great game.  I thought Reese played well.  LCJ is playing hard but cannot find his shot.  We only have 4-5 assist because there is little ball movement.  I would consider benching Ali and maybe Trimble because they are just not producing.

Yes, Wynn, Dawson, Dailey.  Trimble and Ali have contributed nothing the last 2 games.  Trimble is purely a 3 point threat and is 0 fer this game.

There is my starting lineup. The guys who are out there now.  Moving the ball and taking it to the hoop!!  Best ball movement all game.

Dailey is trying real hard just does not have the talent to finish and then throws it away.  I think Groce has to play the guys who brought this team back.  Put Trimble and Ali on the bench and play the guys that are producing.  Maybe if Ali and Trimble come off the bench they will start shooting better.

Can't believe they reversed that call.  Down 4 with 35 seconds left.  Miraculous finish?

Zips got it within 8 and had the ball. Dailey dribbled around for 10 seconds and unleashed a runner from the left elbow that barely drew iron. Bulls turned it into a 3 point play on the other end to go up 11 with about 3:30 to go.  Huge momentum swing, but it says a lot that the Zips still closed within 2 to end it. Gotta feel a little better about possibly facing the Bulls in Cleveland.

The only person on the floor not getting paid to play gets a double double! Where are all the paid players hiding? How can The Walk On be the second leading scorer AGAIN?

BTW if you think this kid is not for real, that's 12 boards against a team that is a monster on the boards.

Blocked shots are not posted yet, he had a few.

I really like the lineup that the Zips played the last 10 minutes.  I hope Groce sees who is playing hard.  We have some players that can are not afraid to slash to the basket and play hard nose defense.  

I didnt watch but caught Groce interview after game and he said about 20x he was really proud of the guys on the floor at the end.  Who was there besides Freeman and LCJ?
