Sanders said sitting out and "watching my teammates play without me really hurt. But it was a good chance for me to regroup."

The down time gave him a chance to contemplate his shot selection in recent games. Sanders was 12 for 32 from the floor -- some forced and some from the perimeter -- in his past two games.

"Me and Coach [Shaka] Smart had a couple of meetings about it," he said. "I found myself floating around the perimeter. My bread and butter is inside."

Sanders stayed near the basket last night and was 11 of 13. He made 9 of 12 free throws and had five rebounds and three blocked shots.

"We talked about three things for Larry," Smart said. "The first of those points was for him to catch the ball deeper, and regardless of where he catches it, attack the basket. I thought tonight he did that better than I've ever seen him do it. The result is 31 points and only two missed shots."

I'm glad Larry was able to figure this out. Let's hope we see a new Larry the rest of the season. The initial results are promising!

It is funny that you had to include Good Info Inside since people aren't used to getting that out of the RTD articles. It is a good article though.

Yeah I knew nobody would read it otherwise. This was pretty pertinent to what we've been talking about here, so I figured people would want to check it out. For the RTD, it's pretty decent.

Yeah, it is not bad at all. I am glad that Coach Smart and Larry seem to be on the same page. Now we just need to figure out what is going on with TJ. I guess with 14 guys on the roster dressing every night there is always going to be some kind of PT/chemistry issue. Can't get me down after the game tonight though. I am sure it will all work out.

One thing Mike Ellis said that is really dead on, is that we need to work on getting Larry bounce passes inside. That way he doesn't have to leave his feet. When he does that, a lot of times he gets bodied out of the paint because he weighs 20 pounds. Let's hope this becomes an emphasis too.
