A few more choices on the Dirkie list would have heightened the suspense a bit more. Ahh...no it wouldn't.
This is one of those rare games when a team won the game with only three players in double figures--made even rarer by the losing team with five players in double figures. We should be glad the Rockets bench stunk it up tonight.
Luckily (or skilfully) Luka scored a 50 point double double--10 assists, 8 rebounds, and three steals, minimally offset by 7 turnovers...in 42 minutes. All of this, taken as a whole, is the old "Give the ball to Luka" offensive scheme. I will repeat this until I'm blue in the face--it is not sustainable for 82+ games. But...I'm not a Peggy Party Pooper...we won the game. I'll take it.
But wish for...more?...something different?
Yes...I gave my Dirkie to Luka. No suspense there.
FN is showing that he belongs in the game. And...I glad to see that Wright and Pinson got some burn tonight. All it takes for these fringe players to get burn is injuries to half the team...
