    Hopefully this isn't a once in a blue moon sort of game from Deng.

    Deng is showing some progress. Hopefully he can keep it up.

    whoever informed deng that the ball's trajectory must exceed the height of the rim to improve chances of perimeter success...needs to share this information with clarkson. like now.

    Another solid game from Deng. One of the few bright spots the last couple of games.

    I think somebody may have told JC that Le Brick, c'est chic. He is fashioning this into a part of his modus operandi. I truly think that JC needs others flourishing in order to gain match effective confidence. Right now he is a beta, and if he forces it too much we get what we have seen since the injuries hit us, a man forcing shots beyond the rhythm and flow of the game.

    Deng is looking better, as in a contributing vet, giving some leadership and inspiration. Hopefully I know the difference between lol dung and shinola. This is the Deng we paid for, and hopefully he will surpass his d.o.a (deng on arrival) performances of the first quarter of the season.

    Agreed, KB24 Deng is finally showing signs of life!! I don't know what happened, if he drank from the fountain of youth before the last two games or something, but all of a sudden he's got a spring in his step, he's moving more fluidly and he's knocking down open shots. Keeping it up!

    Well he did play for Miami for a season, so maybe he dipped into his Miami stash to help himself out.

    Man, if we had this Deng during our first 10-15 games, we would've looked unstoppable.

    Injuries derailed chemistry... all good, perhaps this is what it took for Deng and Rob to find their grooves on this team.

    Over the last 5 games, Deng is averaging 12.4pts / 6.8rebs / 2.2ast /1.4stl. Per 36min that is: 14pts / 7.7reb / 2.5ast / 1.6stl. His shooting splits over this time have been 52% from the field and 43% from 3.

    If we look at the whole month of Dec - as he has slowly rounded into better form, per 36min: 12.5 pts / 6.5 reb / 1.9 ast / 2.3 stl on 47% from the field and 37% from 3.

    He's really finding himself out there, unfortunately it isn't translating into wins.

    The guys on Spectrum said he was feeling very uncomfortable about taking shots freely in this offense, but it seems he's finally catching a groove.
