Favors picked up two quick fouls and was pulled late in the first.
I wonder if Corbin told him to dial it back a little on defense because he came back in and let two players fly right past him for layups. Still he had a few excellent defensive stands against Brand and a kick *** block late in the game that was incorrectly called for a goaltend.
And on offense the kid knows how to attack the basket. It seems like whenever he gets the ball in the paint either he scores or he gets fouled.
I'm surprised Favors is as polished as he is for his age. When I heard the reports about raw he was I was expecting something different.
He is a lot more along that I thought. If he can only work on his foul problem, I'd love to see what he can do at 35 mins per.

If they would have lost that game, I'm not sure they would win another this year. I hope they learned that shooting quick jump shots to get their stats while up double digits is not going to win the game. Also, at the end of a half when you have a three on one fast break, don't give it to Raja! It's hard to say that a play in the first half almost cost them the game, but that play almost cost them the game.
I'm blaming his back. Or his calf. Or his ankle. Or whatever the latest injury is.

<- me. I guess I'd rather have Jimmer than Ronnie Price (out on the court that is, not on the bench in a suit. Ronnie is supa-fly in a suit.)

Well defensively I thought he was okay to good the whole game but shooting wise yes he was pretty horrible, until late 4th & OT.

LOL - I don't know if anyone caught this; but in the third AK threw up his 5th or 6th missed jumper in a row. When he was spotting up to shoot Favors quickly stepped three or four steps away from the hoop; I can only guess in anticipation of yet another brick
in reponse to tator, ak had a steal in regulation that was one of the biggest plays of the game.
also, he does a lot of good things many people don't notice because they don't show up in a stat sheet, like bothering shot attempts.
yes , he missed some shots, but then hit 2 3s late.
it's not like he went 2 for 12 like some guys will do, and it's good that he still had the confidence to shoot the ball. I'm sure you would like to have stomped on his confidence to shoot during the game if you could have.
Hopefully he'll read your posts and be scared to shoot the ball next game, right?
Love you guys.
Go team.
