big game for team canada and kelly

[rollie mass]

playing undefeated mexico,
 did anybody watch the last game and how did kelly pick up 4 fouls in 3 minutes

KO is a foul machine. It's the same old story he gets out of position and does not recover well. Some fouls are the no layup fouls. KO just lacks speed and leaping to get in the right spots and challenge players on a consistent basis.

Ouch. What is wrong with him? It seems as if a couple of quick fouls, such as with the last game, sends him into retreat. Sounds like another summer where he didn't pick up the big-man skills and habits that he needs. Probably would have been better off working hard with a top, dedicated big man coach (since the C's don't seem to have bothered to bring one in since Ray).

didn't play alot and maybe taking it easy with so many games in a row and that knee injury may have him playing cautious
 a couple games ago dwight powell went down hard on a flagrant and injured his elbow-

the game was a massive blowout, the final score was not indicative of the level of competition. Mexico was missing 2 rotation players do to injury on a team already short on top level talent. there 7 main players were very tired and there best player sat out most(all?) or the second half, probably due to them playing undefeated Argentina today.

Kelly's rebounding numbers dont show that he often was closing out on 3 point shooters or covering bigs beyond the arc. he just wasn't playing the right spots to get a lot of the rebounds due to scheme. he had 1(2?) fouls and was mostly in position on defense. he played well on offense, hitting some nice shots off of good moves and passing the ball well.

God bless Kelly.

Well against (I think it was the Dominican Republic) KO was a rebound away from a double double.  He had a nice coast to coast but the finish was awkward although effective.  He was moving well, going to get the ball instead of waiting for it to come to him but then again, most of the rebounds I saw weren't contested, at least not by anyone from the other side.

Game was a total blowout and KO really didn't seem to play a lot, I don't think he played at all in the 4th.  The Canadian team has a worse front court log jam than the Celtics.  They throw a ton of bodies out there, Olynyk, Bennett, Ejin, Nicholson, Sacre, and Powell seem to be all playing the 4 and 5 positions.
