PS. One of the things I loved about Phillips last night was that he slammed it home when possible. Too many other guys use the glass and miss.

This is how basketball is played now- high percentage 2 point shots (i.e. layups dunks and drives) and 3 point shots (lower percentage but with the extra point more valuable). Don't see many effective mid range players or even high block post players anymore.

Oh, I realize that. Just hadn't noticed that trend as much here.-probably due to our group of imports and Euros we've recently had. That's one of the reasons I can't stand the NBA.
