I didn't get a chance to watch yesterday's game. By the score I can tell it wasn't pretty but I am just curious how Tyreke looked in game? How visible was the rust?

He was probably our most effective and best player (aside from JT/Salmons who got more mins) whenever he had the ball during those 12 mins, he looked very good imo.

Hard to say. He was clearly being less aggressive in looking to create for himself or others, but was moving the ball very well in his first stint (when the rest of the team was moving). Not so much in his second stint when basically everyone just stood still on the court - there was a "play" where literally 5 guys were in a horizontal line spread across the court about 18ft away from the rim. He seemed to be moving decently and got to the rim in transition to draw a couple of fouls. Another thing to note is that the ball was rarely being put in his hands, and he was once again being used more as an SF just hanging around in the corner while Brooks handled the ball. I thought that was pretty stupid, considering we were already out of the game and that Tyreke had been playing so well with the ball given to him at the top of the key to the elbow area.
I thought all things considered, he played pretty well. He made a couple of nice passes. He did miss that one 3 pt'er, but he had to take it since he was wide open. I believe he missed another from the left corner, after Brooks dribbled the ball for 20 seconds and then passed the ball to Tyreke with two ticks left on the clock. Thanks Brooks!
