As much as I dislike Bill Simmons (I cannot give specific examples b/c I do not have the attention span to wade through his massive articles artificially jammed with 90210 references), but he did have some nice things to say about Billy and not so nice things to say about Ricky Watermelon-Watermelon Barnes...

Everyone makes a fuss about Billy Gillespie but it's absolutely justified; sometimes you can just tell when a college team is well-prepared. A&M adjusted nicely over the course of the game, double-teamed KD and attacked him on the other end with bigger players. Come to think of it, the Gillespie-Barnes battle was a complete mismatch -- Barnes is coaching the best freshman scorer since Maravich and has no clue how to get him the ball. Why wouldn't they spread the floor and have him attack off the dribble? What's the point of posting him up when he's always double-teamed? Why do they settle for so many bad shots? Durant should be scoring 35-40 a night. Easy.
