    I wish we could just run the pick and roll.

    Tarik Black is still on the roster, he's just not playing. And even when he does play, it's not with D'Angelo.

    And in the miniscule time they are on the floor together,
    my selective memory seems to recall many p&r dunks.

    Back to back 20 point games. Kid is really have no issues on the offensive end other than making free throws. Defense needs a lot of work, but so does everyone on this team.

    Watching him and Randle on offense were the only entertaining or positive things from this game. Defense needs work, but yeah, I'd be more concerned about just him, JC, or Randle, if every other player on the team didn't look like garbage on D too. There's no system, there's no chemistry, a lot of this is coaching, and with the young guys it's just that, youth and inexperience.

    I loved DLO's game tonight. Liked that block on Chalmers' drive to the hoop. Loved those back to back sensational passes to Randle in the second. That first one between the two defenders' legs to a cutting Randle going to the rim for the dunk was just sick!! But that whip pass from the corner to Randle down the lane when Russell drew two defenders was also phenomenal. This kid really does have star potential. I acknowledge that I was down on picking him over Okafor in the draft, but I'm seeing that I was wrong. He is turning into a heck of a floor leader out there. His shooting, too, looks so fluid out there. I wish we had a better coach to utilize his skills more. Also as so many have said, he needs another Big to work with who can run pick and roll with. His shooting, too, looks so fluid out there.

    Don't worry, you're not the only one Russ. It's a pathetic last ditch effort by a very desperate man trying to save his job.

    His numbers are excellent in February. Like 15-4-3 and shooting slash of around 46/46/75.

    Boron is so clueless about coaching, destroys Russell thru the media and call it teaching...

    D'Angelo looks great for sure. Last night he got to the line at will. He's a little floppy, but he does a great job of creating contact on his shots. That might be the only thing he should learn from Lou.

    Boron guaranteed at the start, defense will be better,
    Alas, two years in, we're worse than ever,
    D'Antoni at least had his offensive playbook,
    Our "coach" now is like a chef that can't cook.
