+1 The kids showed marked improvement last night. Time will tell if they are figuring things out. The teams in Vegas are a major step up in quality so we shall see. For now, I'll enjoy last night's victory.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 7:33 am Very well played game by the Pokes. DM is no powerhouse but the way the Pokes played on the D side of the ball was refreshing. They challenged every shot, were in pretty good positions, and played clean ball. The offensive side is still the same poop sandwhich it always is, we just made more shots than we usually do. I would like to see more of an offense with plays and such but baby steps. I thought Taylor played well, i'd like to see him carry this forward and start performing against better competition. Maldonado cannot carry the load alone, he will need other scorers like Taylor and Hendricks.
Was surprised and encouraged by what I saw last night.

Absolutely. I am not expecting wins but would be VERY happy with hard fought, clean played games against a step up in competition.CowboyNV wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 7:43 am+1 The kids showed marked improvement last night.

I really hope we have hit rock bottom and are now building our way back up. I was pleasantly surprised last night.
What struck me about last night was MOVEMENT (except in the last few minutes of the game). Players without the ball were moving. The player with the ball either got rid of it quickly or moved with it, unlike in previous games where they just stood there and held it.
