Random thoghts on the game

As if we didnt already know it, we have a point guard.
Bennett needs a lot more experience. Hope coach plays him more the next few games and let Spangler rest a lot.
We need a lot of work on our defense- a whole big bunch of work.
Need to figure out how get back to good offense and defense when thing slow down.
Need more work on defense and rebounding.
Excellent play by Cousins and Neal.

Well the thing is that Spangler needs experience too. Maybe we go to a more traditional 2 bigs look to give Bennett more minutes? Particularly with Je'lon out a while.

This isn't a bad idea, but so much of our offense is predicated on mismatches and penetration that we might really damage our offensive flow that way.

Defense and rebounding will be a problem all season, there's just not enough size to protect the rim along with the young players learning to defend the perimeter. The latter will hopefully improve. Coach Kruger will need to get creative with junk zones and some full court pressure. This team reminds me of the Nova teams that were guard oriented in the mid 2000's.
