Ervin initiated the pace early. When Gibson started running the show in the 3rd quarter, we slowed down and executed a lot more poorly.

Lucky Gibson did hit those shots, because we weren't moving man and ball in the halfcourt and weren't running in transition.

I personally think that DJ three to make it 5-0 settled him down a bit. That clang free throw to finish the and-one said to me that he was quite nervous to start the game.

Gibson was sensational, running the show in the first half, hitting shots in the second half, playing great D throughout. He really has matured into a gun, so much better than the player who arrived in Adelaide.

"so much better than the player who arrived in Adelaide."

I don't think so. Gibson has been a star for a long time. Open the other eye. lol

Umm, no. Gibson is much more comfortable taking big shots, is a better ball handler, better finishing on the drive, a better leader and has more tricks using the ball screen (hesitations etc).

Watch some tapes of him on the Gold Coast and compare to now, he has come on in leaps and bounds for mine with the extra responsibility, extra work he has put in and extra maturity as he gets older.

Gibbo, besides being a great player, played a true captain's game and ensured we didn't go down when there were times we could've, e.g. that period in last quarter when we couldn't hit anything.

Ervin does some great things, but his poor decision making at times puts us in trouble.
