DARTH HQ!!! You and I must do battle!!!Delfino stays. Gets better and helps key a finals run.

Count Dooko once thought as you did. He felt the same abouta guy named Sean Elliot! A guy who never fit in. There must be a way u can get more eee-vil in Delfino's soul. Can u do this, Lord Slippy?

He single handedly brought us back against Boston last year.
Then Flip proceeded to give him DNP's because Delf was making Mo look bad.

People talk about Delfino not finishing, as low as his shooting % is, it's still higher than any pct that Lindsey has had in the last 10 years. Yet no one is complaining about him finishing

No one complained because you just pulled those #s out of your hiney.

Hunter has never shot as poorly in his regular season career as Delfino has this preseason. FG% or 3P%, Hunter's worst year is substantially better than Delfino's.

Don't even get me started on FT%. Delfino is under 70%, AS A GUARD.

I want this dude to do well, but there are a TON of players outside the NBA or in the league, riding the pine who do not have a consistent shot.

Until Delfino fixes that, he can pray for a Lindsey Hunter-esque career. He'll never be great if he can't nail a "j".

Finally got a chance to catch a full game, albeit preseason. Overall, I think we'll be alright this year. IMO we outta move Sheed to center, start Dice and bring Nazr off the bench with the young fellas. Nazr will never fill Ben's shoes, but with whatever offense he has, he's more than just a stopgap player.

Looks like both J-Max and Amir are "developing" nicely. By all accounts they worked HARD this summer and the results are evident. They definitely understand the "blue collar, goin to work" mentality.

Blalock....WOW! This cat played a brilliant game! Its gonna be hard to keep him off the floor. I have a good feeling about Flip Murray (so far) as well. I get the feeling he might fashion himself into a pretty good "combo" third guard in a three guard attack. Maybe.

Delfino looks about the same. The cat has talent and he has game, but he don't play with a sense of urgency. His defense is good but his shot is still broke. He looks lost offensively. This is supposed to be his year. He should be "developing" at a faster rate than J-Max and Amir.

Delfino........WASSUP?

Funny thing about difference makers... they need to make a difference.
I'll still wait 3 months to draw any conclusions though (before the dealine)

Agreed.

I'll tell ya one thing I'm feeling better about. The coaching staff. Porter and Cowens should make a difference. I'm partial to former players anyway. I got a feeling FlipS is all ears, as well he should be.

my hat goes off to Flip if thats the case.

Just telling you guys that Mo Evans just recently scored 27 points.

against the clips?
