First off, great win. They finally played with energy and a purpose against a very good team who was at full strength. We played a great first half, a good second half, and we finally closed out a game. If we play like that and Hurley coaches well I think we can cause problems going forward.
In the first half, our bench was clutch. Specifically Hawkins and Polley. I don't know if it was by design or the flow of the game but Hawkins played within himself and got the ball in perfect situations. Same with Polley.
We need them to continue to produce as we don't have a deep bench and we can't expect Martin and Sanogo to put up numbers like they did. I'm hoping Akok can recover fully because we need him going forward.
When we make our subs, our lineup cannot be Gaff, Hawkins, Polley, Jackson, Whaley as we have no leadership, no offensive rhythm, and no players who can get their own shot.
Gaffney needs to be benched for Diggin's. Diggins cannot play worse than Gaffney has this entire season. The eye test and his stats prove it. Tonight was the last chance for him to prove he deserves any minutes. Bring Diggins in with Cole so he can get a feel for the game and then take Cole out but leave Martin and Jackson in.
We're in the final stretch here and it's time to get everything right.
