Yeah idk why they thought shooting their way out of today was a good strategy. Berg is not THAT intimidating a rim presence

Berg did have his best half of his career in the first. He did a couple of things that didn't make me yell, "Get him out of there" at my TV. Gave TKR time to stay out of foul trouble. Heide was good today too. They both helped us out. And Colvin's dunk will probably be a sports center top 10 play tonight.

Yeah this was the first time I've thought he could actually fill into a role properly. He brought great minutes his presence is probably the exact thing that forced High Point to try and start their barrage from behind the arc

I think their hot start is what did them in. They got deceived by the basketball gods
