re: The rest of the bball team needs to take a page out of Hornsby's book.

How in the blind bat shite are you going to blame Hornsby? Hornsby didnt go tarzan and just throw the ball up at the hoop.

Oh really? He went 3 for 9, and that includes a 3 pointer so off it went in off the backboard. He tossed up some runners that looked like prayers. 2-4 from the FT line, too (and he wasn't demanding the ball late in order to draw fouls and get to the line, once the others missed some). This, in 36 minutes.

That's 8 pts, should have been 5 if you're honest on the 3 pt shot, from a guy you expect a steady 14 from, with the real possibility of 20. He had been averaging close to 20 over the last 4 previous games.

We get a generic Hornsby game, and we win easily, despite everything else that happened.
