Charlotte Notes
* Charlotte is now a lame duck team, as it was announced Bernie Bickerstaff will not be back next year.
* Their rotation has been extremely inconsistent due to recent injuries to real injuries (Brezec, Knight), phantom injuries (Wallace), illness (Derek Anderson) and false returns from longterm injury (May).
* The coolest thing their team has going is Walter Herrmann, the Fabio look-alike. That's just freaking awesome. (No one cares about PornStache anymore).
Cleveland Key Points
* Larry Hughes will continue to run the point due to his defense on opposing PGs. Brown must figure out how to utilize Gibson upon his return.
* With the Larry/Sasha backcourt, our team is a height matchup nightmare. Cool.
* Our 2.9 second defense in the paint continues to improve, especially when Varejao is on help defense.
* Ira Newble continues to garner minutes at more talented players' expense (Shannon, possibly Gibson)
Mike Brown Gameplan Keys
- Force-feed Z in the post against Voskuhl (height advantage) and Brezec (believe it or not, a speed advantage for Z)
- Just keep the interior defense working. Apparently we're 1st in the league in opponents' 3FG% so we have that taken care of.
- Find some way to work Gibson back into the rotation, and get Newble out.
