Considering that the Celtics team seem to be fairly
stacked from top to bottom in comparison to the other teams that are in the same
age bracket, and that the teams are supposed to have equal talent throughout, I
think that Tyler, Donovan, and their teammates played a very good game today.
The score was tied going in to halftime, but was 10-8 at the start of the second
half (the excuse was that they missed putting a basket up on the scoreboard, but
Tara & I generally watch this pretty closely and I don't think that was the case
- if anything they may have missed giving one shot three points, putting two on
the board instead, but that would have been it, and even then I'm not 100% sure
the shot was a three pointer anyway). Regardless of the change in score during
halftime, the Heat just didn't have enough in the tank during the second half.
Tyler had a pretty decent game again today. His man-to-man defense has
definitely improved since the beginning of the season, and his offense continues
to improve. He didn't have the scoring binge that he had last week, but he made
a couple of shots and wound up shooting four free throws as well. He only has
one more chance here at Upward, as he will be missing two of the next three
games due to a conflict with his Cage team's games.
