In reading the various posts, I find that I agree with a lot of them but sometimes my feelings get in the way.

I agree that the bench needs to score more but I also feel that the bench usually holds whatever lead they are given, and I think that even last night, when the bench was in there, they did not fall further behind.

I really wish Darko would go into the games and look to score. I note that he is constantly passing quickly to a more open teammate but they do win games by points, not assists. He sees the floor pretty darned well because he does not hesitate at all in getting rid of the ball, like clear across court to Delfino who then made the open shot. But I still want him to look to score.

I note also that when he is trying and actually blocking shots, it takes him out of position for the rebound. The ball virtually always comes down somewhere else than where he is because he is blocking the shot. I guess they better decide if they want the blocks or the boards.

It may be my letting him off the hook, but it seems that quite a bit, he does work well to box someone out and has good rebound position and virtually always when he does, the ball goes into the basket. Seems like everytime he is open for the rebound, the basket is made.

I still come down to the feeling after DMC plays that I am disappointed that he did not look to score more. I am not sure whether his two buckets last night in Dallas were good looking shots because I was busy trying to reformat my hard drive on this %&*%#M*&<% computer to watch the game as well as I needed to. Also, it was only two shots in what, 15 minutes? Can't see them all. I wish he would do something to rid me of this vaguely disappointed feeling when he plays during the earlier parts of the game.
