From what I’ve seen, there’s been a lot of “almost turnovers” from several players that we either got a good bounce, out hustled the other team on a loose ball, or got bailed out by ref in these first 2 games.

I didn’t get the benefit of good replays, but it looked like Griffen got bailed out twice by refs last night. One he slipped while driving out of control and they called a phantom foul, the other he put his head down and got a block that easily could have been a charge. Think there was another in the first game that he drove the basket and jumped not knowing where he was going with the ball and was pretty lucky it got deflected to either one of our guys or out of bounds. He also went 0-9 from 3 in the scrimmages and forced a three in the first game that was off rythym with a man in his face (he did have a good one in the first game coming off a screen that he made). He hasn’t been catastrophic by any means, but hasn’t been sharp or “improved” either. Hope he gets it going before our December stretch and keeps up the hustle/defense while he works on it.
