Come on down for your daily does of crow! Would not have won this game without him toughing it out and hitting the glass despite not being 100%.

Deserves some praise after the heat he's taken from some posters around here this season...

He was great. He looked exhausted afterwards. He always gives great effort and made some huge plays tonight.

Just because we needed every second of him tonight, doesn't make him any good at offense or catching passes. There's a difference. Learn it.

He played aggressively on defense, which was nice.

I'm worried about his knee. We are sunk going forward without him. Hopefully some good rest this week. He does need to work on not bringing the ball low, and finishing in traffic. Doesn't mean he isn't a valuable player who changes the game.

Thought it worse than it turned out.

I will eat my crow. I have been frustrated watching McKay a few games this season. Hope he continues to play as awesome as he did tonight. Keep those blocks coming!

I don't hate McKay. In fact, I'd say he's the player we can least afford to lose.

My biggest issue with him is the continual complaining after every call, every missed shot, every time he thinks he got fouled. But, if that's my biggest complaint, I'd say we have a very valuable player.

Still can't make layups. :mad: Not dogging him, he's a good player. But, still can't make layups.

Bingo.

McKay is a VITAL player for us, no doubt. When he was out of the game, we suffered big time. But he needs to know his role, and so do the other players and Prohm as well.

He is NOT a post up offensive player. 9 times out of 10 when you throw it into him, bad things happen. He's a great rebounder, great defender, great guy to lob dunks to, great hustler on the fast break, etc. He just doesn't have many offensive moves with his back to the basket, so it really does him a disservice to pass him the ball down low.

Great game by him tonight though. We definitely need him. And kudos to him for playing hurt too. Big time guts.
