I love Delonte



Told Yall

Honestly how many people think that DWest is playing better than Mo right now? I mean he is just lighting things up, and he isn't getting torched on D like I thought he would. I don't mean the effect he has had on the team, because I think Mo is having a huge effect on our O and is really helping LBJ. Just his straight up play vs. Mo.

I've loved the way Delonte has played thus far but if you notice it he is getting open shots off the attention Lebron and Mo are getting. Mo is always getting past his man and the ball is moving around well and Delonte gets a good look. He's been making team pays BIG TIME with his amazing shooting.

Mo's impact has been great on pretty much every one's game in our team.

Yeah. Except for Pavs lol.

Yeah. Except for Pavs lol.

LOL, well to be fair Pavs hasn't gotten much playing time. He had several open looks today but passed the ball back out. He shot a couple but he had more opportunities. Anyways, I am glad he didn't shoot and Delonte did. LOL

I think he's saying that the addition of Mo has kicked Sasha out of our reguar rotation.

I think Mo has made everyone's games better. It really opens things up and helps out the whole team. Wally needs to be traded at the deadline though for any big. Wally's D sucks and him jacking ill adivsed shots as well when they aren't going him will hurt the team.

Look at how good we are now and then imagine how we will be with another decent-good player after the wally trade. Anyone is better and he is actually getting some pt which is sad.

 

[chiefwahoo]

+9.0 in point differential now after that second half beatdown. I'm convinced now that we can turn on our D whenever we want to. And three straight games with 1 second half turnover? Ridiculous. If we can carry this type of play into Detroit tomorrow night then we truly deserve that #1 spot we currently hold in nba.com's power rankings.

West is shooting the ball damn well, but he is getting his good looks due to Mo and LeBron. West is playing nicely off the ball which I was a touch concerned about going into the season. Mo and LeBron though are definately the guys creating havoc on the opposition, whilst West waits then sinks the dagger.

How long do we have to put up with Wally's ineptness?

Sasha is playing smart in his minutes out there. The time has come to switch their roles.

Great game Ben Wallace. The dude is playing well above expectation.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Did anyone else enjoy the post-game interview with Delonte?

I couldn't help but be happy for the man. He seemed so happy to be playing well on a good team. I also think he just loves to shoot and play off the ball. I don't think he enjoys the pressure/restriction of being the point guard.

 

[bucksprime99]

Agree with the Sasha over Wally sentiment. Sasha is much better on defense and has been doing better than Wally when he gets the ball in his hands.

Thought this game was 50/50 going in, and if they won it would be close. Never EVER saw a 24 point win. Amazing play by the guys last night.

 

[Redz West is Best]

I think Delonte likes his role since he can be himself and not have to deal with the label of being the point guard. But what happens when his shot isn't as hot as it is now? His aggression before the 3rd quarter was terrible. I loved seeing him making an offensive move in the 2nd half. He is better than just a shooter.

This is sort of the role he played in Boston his second year. A lot of similarities.

How long?
Till VCarter screams :"I want outta here!!!!!""
He was as frustrated last night(when I saw the 4th quarter) as you are with Wally...

I am 100% with you. I've always been down on Sasha, heck a quick look at my youtube page will show you a perfect example of Sasha giving a game away, but if we keep the ball out of his hands and he becomes simply a catch and shoot guy/defender (in the mold of Posey, Bowen, etc), he is EXACTLY what we need. He's always been a decent/good catch and shoot 3 point shooter, the things that get him in trouble are behind the back dribbles and spin moves. With Mo, he doesn't need to do any of that. Sasha is what we need at the backup 2/3, why don't we use it? My theory, Mike Brown, as he always does, gives everyone a chance to retain their job before they lose it, and Wally is getting his chance. Hopefully MB sees Wally isn't deserving of that role...

 

[goddago]

I know Wally's best value is because of his expiring contract, but maybe Wally's getting showcased to try to up his value.
