Delfino sits for a reason

[himat]

Yea, I heard that (Silas on NBA Fastbreak) I'm not though. Remember he threw one down on K-Mart last year? And in the olympics he dunked on someone pretty good as well from what I remember. I have a feeling we'll see a lot more of that. To go with those impressive drives to the basket for layups.

he also dunked on top of okafor this year (when he wasn't injured).

It's one thing for Delfino to be given quality minutes in a game and hold his own, it's quite another when he gets the chance to play quality minutes and leads the way during a comeback. Great game for Delfino!!

Delfino with another good game tonight (1.18.06)

21 Minutes, 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3FG), 3 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal.

He had an absolutely nasty block on Marvin Williams trying to dunk it. He also played good Defense on Joe Johnson (who ended up 5 of 16 from the field)

Well, the guy is consistant. Three 11 point games in a row. Another tonight against the Knicks..

19 Minutes, 11 points (3 of 4 FG, 1 of 1 3FG), 5 rebounds, 2 assists

I think it's safe to say he's locked into the rotation. He is doing a bit of everything on the court. Slashing/Shooting/Passing/Defending.

Good news


He without a doubt deserves the minutes he's getting after sitting the whole season last year, bull ting around, being the dude that practices but never actually play's in the game.

I never expected him to put up those kind of stats, I expected him to maybe play 1 or 2 years of NBA, get tired of being benched, then going back to Europe.

Good turn around, I'm happy for him.

Well last year he had a knee injury and was out for 3/4 of the season. Most don't know why Brown put Darvin Ham on the playoff roster over Delfino. He only played at the end of blowouts, or at the end of a quarter on defense.

^^ they never liked each other...

Mo Evans is the new darvin ham, except evans can actually play.

Evans is nothing like Darvin Ham. The only similarities are the fact that they're both bald, and they can both dunk. That's where it stops.

well, I was referring to their athleticism, so we don't really disagree. Mo is by far a better player. I sort of didn't like him at first, he kept hitting those threes early in the season, and so he kept jacking up ill-advised ones for a while after that. he seems to have broken himself of that habit though, so he's AOK in my book.
