    yikes...that's cold, mike.

    although, i think it's possible that he meant finding him on their defensive end, as he put in a bunch of buckets, and the knicks almost lost to the mavs' b-team.


    edit: yeah, pretty sure that was it. dlo had a good dlo game 23/7 in 25 minutes on 9-15 from the floor.

    Is he injured or just permanently DNP’d by Kidd until he’s gone? Haven’t been following but saw he got 0 minutes against us.

    He'll be in China soon with Okafor.

    Tinkerbell was finished in the Conference Finals. We just finally got around to admitting it, after JJ benched him after 10 games. He was who we thought he was after all.

    DNP

    you'd think this would be a perfect scenario for him since the mavs are tanking and he's always played well when there's no pressure, but he's been outplayed by nembhard and williams. he's going to be playing overseas next season

    I don't know. D'Lo doesn't strike me as someone who cares enough about basketball that he'd leave the country to keep playing. My guess is he's financially secure, and he'll be forced into retirement. In two years we'll see him and his beard will be Hardenesque and he'll have a beer belly.

    I never saw it in DLO.

    a Combo guard that wasnt good at either or. He had spurts of streakiness but hes an off the dribble shooter for someone that isn't that great. I could swear he'd miss nearly every other catch and shoot compared to off the dribble.


    When he was on the team with Kob I think, dude was just horrible. I dont remember, his entire career is forgettable and dismissable

    really talented, not at all interested in the drudgery/physicality parts of the game that are required to win against the best. his best years were that brief period in bkn where nobody expected anything and he just got to do the stuff he likes to do. when he was asked to function as part of a team defense or to not have costly mental lapses, he folded every single time. just didn't have the mental approach to match his (actually incredible) physical talents. such a skilled passer and shooter. his failure actually makes me appreciate harden's success a bit more. i consider them similar in many ways, but harden just a bit more professionalism (and strength).
