How could people be fooled about his production it is what is 55 points 10 assist 1 turnover there is no disputing that in addition to two WINS in a row. Why you sit and say it's against bad teams man we got our ass kicked by 30 against a bad team...I watch at least two games every night of the week on league pass and i see all the elites get ran by constantly but guess what they all have somebody protecting that rim. But all in all I hope he gets traded and you all get your defensive stopper and proven winners Baron Davis, Andre Miller, Devin harris, Sebastian Telfair or whom ever else. Maybe if we are winnning with Wallace not being involved as you say that means he is expendable and can trade him for the big we need. Thought about that especially when he is standing in the corner and get thrown a pass and runs over the defender to rack or jacks up that crooked jumpshot. Ithought sh#t was a measured by wins. Two wins iin a row and you start this post where was this when we got blown by at least 20 three games in a row.

Agreed. I think DJ is doing GREAT. I wated another PG in LB's offense because everyone can agree that DJ wasn't doing well in that. But in the Silas offense he is fantastic. Gerald Wallace is a shell of his old self. WTF was he doing last night? If DEN wants Wallace for Melo, do the trade now.

this is the correct ridiculous spin move as you cross the timeline, etc. etc.

love it! was wondering if everyone else picked up this too. it looks like when you are playing 2k and you accidentally hit the spin dribble and your man randomly spins for no reason.

[ballwhore]

lmao..True... I asked him about that spin and the beard he says spin is something LB had him and Felton doing now it's just stuck finds himself doing for no reason....The beard just to aggitate his girl. Everyone was on him about that beard for christmas we didn't know it was pointed like that

I agree as well. its not as if he was playing great D when LB was here so this isn't new news. You can always nitpick a players performance and that is obviously people's right. I think with DJ over the last two games, we should be very happy that he's out of his "funk" and is playing with confidence and joy. That's a huge step for a guy that was clearly lost with LB. Let's stop the nitpicking and just be happy for once.

If you are a not a DJ fan (which I am not sure I am) and want someone else, at least be happy that he's helping his trade value. Wish we could say the same for Crash.

All true. Regardless of his strengths and limitations, he has to have confidence to be effective, and these last two games seem to have improved his confidence. The next step I'd like to see is for him to start getting other players more active, which is a bit difficult when guys like Wallace and Tyrus aren't 100%.

I'm more on the side that says "so what, hes scoring" but cant really argue that his defense doesnt needs to improve. To be any kind of a threat, your PG is going to have to stop penetration and make it hard for the other team to run its offense. dJ isnt doing that. (Im being a little kinder and just going with the lower case d for now)

But lets just clear one thing up. dJ has nothing to do with Gerald Wallace's downslide.

Gerald Wallace is an athlete not a basketball player. Now that hes getting banged up and older... he cant rely on his athleticsm. A basketball player would be able to transition his game into a softer touch, shooters role. Gerald charges the rim, doesnt get near the height he used to and either commits a charge, misses a dunk, or wildly hits a layup that hits every part of the basket before falling in. His decline isnt anyones fault but father time, and we'd be wise to ship him out while we can still get something for it.

I could not agree more

Good thread, it was frustrating to see DJ getting burned time and again on defense. He lacks the quickness to stop the quick guys like Bynum and obviously lacks the size to D up the bigger points like Deron Williams. While he does makeup for it on the offensive side of the ball, we can't expect DJ to drop 25+ a night. Even if he does, I still think we should sell high and try to get a potential star like Steph Curry (I can dream) although he has some of the same defensive problems although hes 4 inches taller than DJ and has a higher b-ball IQ imo.

[ballwhore]

I agree sell high
