As always, all caveats apply to the flaws of plus/minus. Please use it for good, not evil.

It may not be a great measuring stick for how well each player played but his is exactly how I would have ordered the players in the game.  Pretty amazing that Nick and Mo played so poorly and yet we had a real shot at the end.

I don't always agree with the numbers but my eyes told me that TJ and Setty were the reasons for the big run.  Like I said elsewhere I noticed that nic and ndour were on the bench then.  Like I sai, we just need to be more consistent player to player and game to game.  Setty is the example but we've most most of the year to see it.  I guess it was just ring rust.  I guess TJ goes only as far as his knees take him. 

Nic and Ndour are still the keys to the season.  Just as McRae stepped up last night, those two have to step up EVERY game.

Only because of being hobbled, I would put Taylor squarely at the bottom.  I give him credit for gutting it out in these final games.

Even hobbled he's a better option at the point than what we have now.  His passes are so much more timely than Bean's.  There was one play last night that completely underscored Bean's problems.  He just doesn't adapt. He makes a decision and gets totally married to it.  The play I'm talking about he drove from the top and all of a sudden the seas parted and he had a clear path to the basket. What did he do?  He kicked it out to the corner to a guy with a defender nearby.  He clearly decided he was going to drive and kick before he started.

One of my Bean face palm moments of the game.

The worst though was the absolute lack of ability to "walk and chew gum" at the same time when as beginning to bring the ball up the court after in bounds with defender right on him he pauses and looks straight at JC as coach was yelling instructive at him - he paused and looked right at JC - while said defender then picked his pocket followed by quick easy layup - OMG!

RSB that was a picture post card moment.  In general he really looks lost and uncomfrotable out there way too many times.  How 'bout the first pass of the game?  Saved by a slight finger tip...then one of the attempts at an entry pass to ndour that went right to mcrae.  Just too much of that to be a really effective pg.
