11/18: We come out cold- 1-12. Up 9 after 10; we heated up. Up 11 at halftime. Up 18 with 1`0 left. Akpo is playing really well.
79-58. Easy win. 19, 18 with 6 blocks for Akpo. 17, 8 for Jon Blen, 14, 1, 5 for Tim Smid. +14 RBs, 11 TOs. We held them to 28.3% from the floor while we shot 49.3%. +30 in the paint.
All 4 lower seed won so it's #2 seed Indiana, 2-0, in the semifinals. They're favored by 2 1/2. They have an excellent PG, but honestly, Smid has been playing great and he just might be able to match this guy. They have an excellent D and that's going to be a problem. We'll need to find the open player. And we definitely will need to stop the three; they shoot an amazing 45.5% from back of the line. Of course, that's based on only two games.
They are TOUGH inside. In short, we're looking at a challenge.
That big, shiny object object way at the limits of our sensor range is still too far away for us to draw any conclusions other than it's huge and it's very bright.
