I was at the game, it was awesome. I couldn't believe we were able to hold them under 70....
About Corliss, he has been playing really good lately, but you can't deny that his play at the beginning of the year was atrocious. He has stopped turning the ball over and has been making a lot more of his shots recently. If he had been playing like this all year he would be in serious consideration for another 6th man of the year award.

Darko needs to learn to jump. He stays flat footed too much. It allows for smaller players to grab rebounds over him and he won't get as many blocks as he should if he would simply jump. Maybe that's a habit he brought over from Europe due to the inferior competion and athletic abilities, but he needs to fix that. He's way too athletic to stay flat footed so much. Luckily for him and us it's a problem that can be corrected.

fortunately you arent a ref, he had a call or two on the coast that went against him, that stuff balances out.

What are you saying? Jeez, it was a clear foul. Nothing against him, but the announcers were reduced to laughter because it was that bad. I don't disagree that he had a couple calls go against him, that's how it is as a rookie.

He has been making shots all year though....

Each month of the season he has shot over 45% from the field.

he's getting up on the defensive end, i think there is some real potential there as far as his d goes. i think his problem on the offensive end is he has been a perimiter player and now is having to develope a game around the basket, he has the drop step down now he needs to face up with big guys and take them to the hoop.its a work in progress but i think he'll put it all together in time. keep repeating the words; he's only 18.

I'll take your word for it, but in October-November Corliss had at least as many TOs+fouls as shots made in 11 of 18 games played. I'm too lazy to figure out his Bird Number (that's what it's called right?) but I can't imagine it'd be very good.
