Rasho was more willing to get his nose dirty. Bargniani isn't. That's effort and attitude. Johnson shouldn't be getting more boards than Bargniani out there. It just shouldn't happen.
In any event, good team game tonight. Real solid effort. A couple of brain farts to let Indiana back in the game, but the same team that would have folded the tent three months ago, held tough and put the game away with a run of their own in response. Calderon and Johnson have some awesome chemistry out there. One or two pick and rolls with these two were so perfectly timed that it was as if they had been playing together for years. Looked great and awesome for the second unit.
Hedo goes down with a small, non-displaced fracture of his orbital bone. Don't think he'll miss too much time, but given the schedule and the huge amount of time off coming up, this is about the best time of year this sort of thing could happen.
As they did on the broadcast, the schedule coming up has a great chance to make this current streak 9 straight as we're playing weak teams.
