Hendo's hurt.


The thing that I'm most impressed with DJ is his FG% and turnovers. Only two turnovers thus far and 7 assists, for a 3.5 ratio. That's fantastic. He's at 56% FG and 75% 3PT. Also fantastic. Diop also seemed to have a nice outing. Pulled down a couple of boards, made a couple of shots, had a block. That's all I ask for from you, big fella

Also, Felton had 4 points tonight. Along with 5 turnovers and shot 1-6 from the field.

Play of DJ and Diop is indeed very encouraging. Diop is gonna beast this year if he doesn't get hurt.

Nice insight from Bonnell in 2 different articles/blogs:

-- Dominic McGuire had a rough night defensively, committing four fouls in 5 1/2 minutes.

-- I asked a scout from another team who he'd keep between point guards Sherron Collins and Javaris Crittenton. He asked if "none of the above'' was an option. It's true neither was particularly good against the Thunder. They combined for 2-of-10 from the field and eight turnovers. I did press the scout to make a choice and he said Crittenton, narrowly.

Some highlights and lowlights:

Reserve center Gana Diop had missed the previous four days of the preseason for the birth of his son, Jules. Rather than look flat from the layoff, Diop was effective in 20 minutes. His numbers might not have glistened (four points, four rebounds, a block and a steal), but Brown said he guarded the basket in just the way they need him to.

So well, in fact, that Brown yelled out during the game, "Gana, great job, son!'' Usually when Brown is yelling to Diop, it's a very different message.

"With the work I put in this summer, I feel I can play. I played very hard tonight,'' Diop said.
Reserve forward Derrick Brown generated 12 points off four shots from the field, mostly by finishing on the break. He got to the foul line eight times.

Two Bobcats – Stephen Jackson and Sherron Collins – each committed five turnovers and Tyrus Thomas added four.
Forwards Dominic McGuire and Darius Miles each committed four fouls in relatively brief appearances.

I think DJ is in a pickle, if he doesn't get any assits he gets criticised for being a pg who doesnt get assits. However lots of you here on bcp were saying he should just give it to boris or jack and get open shots...

DJ is very good in transition and unless I'm mistaken that's where he racked up those 5 assists in the 2nd half. The proof is out there that we do much better at a faster pace:

The problem is we don't play at a faster pace very often.
