For years that was CWebb. Now it is supposed to be Bibby. But in our losses it is glaring that we do not have the go-to guy, that one guy who put us back in the game night after night. Maybe it is defensive, getting offensive rebounds, sweeping the glass on the other end, swatting away a few shots (Skinner??)
Maybe it is offensive and defensive, getting rebounds, starting and finishing fast breaks, clogging up the middle, making tip ins (Bonzi, SAR, Chico??)
Maybe it is a pure scorer (not just a shooter but a scorer) who makes layups, pops in some 3's, hits the mid range jumper but every night in the 3rd and 4th quarter, particularily the 4th (Bibby, Peja, Bonzi???)
But in all our losses no one steps up consistently, or even for 2 or 3 games. Remember the role Bobby used to play and the 4th quarter minutes he got and why he got them? Or Jon Barry, or Jim Jackson?
Of course the Bench has to be there as well. Where is Corliss and Skinner? Is Jason Hart as good defensively as we think he is? Can't Bonzi pick up scoring when Hart is in?
My view of the bottom line: Get an energized Skinner in there more. Get the message to Bonzi to take charge. Same for SAR. Those 3 would make great Monsters of the Mid-Way.
