I only recall one play where his defense was bad.. and that was Lebron coming off a pick and charging full steam at the rim while Rasheed rotated over. Guess what, no-one on this team can defend that. Did you see that hustle rebound play where he busted his but chasing it? Probably not.
Like I told my friend during the game, I don't expect him to keep making shots at that clip, but the fact that he attacked the rim with speed and power, finished around the rim, and hustled, then good things are bound to keep happening. He looked like a different player out there, and it wasn't just b/c his shots were falling... he looked like the player that this team sorely needs off the bench.
The only lazy aspect was of the team not getting him the ball in the post more often. I counted 3 times he had good position and they chose to keep swinging the ball around the 3 point line instead of dumping it down to him. He's honestly our only post player, especially now that they keep double-teaming KG when he makes a move.
I didn't overreact from his performance, so I hope you guys don't as well (in either direction). However, I was very pleased to see that he still does have it in him because that was really in question before.
