Does anyone think...

....that Trend's increased minutes tonight are a tune-up to go up against Harangody tomorrow? He did a good job against him last time, so I wonder if TC isn't seeing this potential matchup.

If Ous and Trend can do a good job against him, and throw Trevor into the mix, and we can shut down their perimeter game like we did at the BC, I really like our chances.

I'm interested to see how Mbawke defends Harongody tonight.  I hope he can use his strength to hold his ground against Harongody.  He's probably to inexperienced to be a major force, but we'll need him to contribute as Barro's defense has been terrible lately.  It seems that whoever we play has no problem shooting over him and Barro doesn't block shots, and doesn't hold his ground at all. I'm more disappointed in him defensively than offensively.

I think he just played well last night and got extra minutes because of it. TC doesn't seem the type to think that far ahead in a tournament situation. He was effective and played because of it.

I was thinking that maybe we were preparing somewhat for the possibility for 4 games in 4 days.  Nothing that would diminish the chances of winning this game, but if you can get a few extra minutes out of Trend while Barro gets to rest and not let the other team do any real damage during that time, it's a big plus with potentially so many games in a row.
