A slightly different observation...
- The refs called a ridiculously tight game. A terrible job, and the bad calls went both ways.

- Jordan never found his touch during the game. Manhattan didn't appear to be doing anything specacular against him, he just looked a little lost.

- Manhattan had about 9 shots go in-and-out in the first half - most were open shots from 6 feet and in - just blown gimmes. Not sure where BronxKid got his numbers, but Manhattan shot 22% in the 1st half and 55% in the 2nd. If even a few of those shots go down, the game is much closer in the first half.

- Was not impressed with Nijaradze. Committed lots of stupid fouls, couldn't defend without grabbing, couldn't get offensive position without pushing off.

- On the positive side, Bossman (#22) looks like a deadeye shooter. Seemed to be able to hit the three at will. Will be a good player for the hounds.
