Man now that was good stuff.
Physically stuffed the lane and controlled the backboards. That physical version of a team will win games.
Mitch abused Powell all game. It was good to see. I have noticed in the last few games that Mitch finally has added a little to his game. He now establishes deep post position and after they get him the ball he goes up strong with it resulting in a high % possession or a trip to the line. Now his horrendous FT % is really going to come into play and prevent him from getting to another level. He needs to improve on that even more than he needs a post move in his arsenal. But little steps are good to see, no matter how small they are :)
Mitch almost in shape. Maybe by playoffs he'll get there
Mitch just needs Thibs looking fondly at Noel every once in a while. Did you see how fast he motored his ass off the floor after that one oop?
Guess his 18th agent is letting him know he's not irreplaceable.
Great game from Mitch, but you also saw the impact of Noel. He guards the interior and perimeter, creates turnovers, in general is just very smart on D.
