It hurts a bit watching some of this "old" game. Sheed barely got the ball on the other end, AI and Stuckey were just doing their own thing with McDyess getting a layup. I know they were older players but still, Joe Smith getting more touches and J's than Sheed is a choice. Those bigs who could shoot would be thriving so much in this era. The lack of player movement is weird too, lack of ball movement I kinda get because of the point guards for both teams. Just wild this was barely 14 years ago, cool time warp though.
