Delfino could have been played by Jimmy Fallon. And if Darko needed a bit part, John Mayer could fill in as well.

Whenever I see LH bringing the ball up the court, I am reminded of those fellows who play basketball in wheelchairs. I picture LH having gray hair, a gray beard, trying as hard as he can but hardly moving. Detroit is the only team in the NBA who would put up with LH. That said, he had a pretty good game last night, but I keep repeating to myself: Will he be effective in June?

Maurice Evans - while a handsome man - is a liability to this team. Dead weight out there. A baby-faced, light skinned Ron Dupree. I understand he’s a Saunder’s guy, but, again, will he be a June-guy?

I think Ben has been playing hurt the last month or so. Delfino is the man, no doubt. Tip of the iceberg indeed. Delk seems to have a good work ethic and a fairly straight jumper. Love how he plays D.

But as Lindsey showed last night with three steals, he’s still tenacious on defense, which is clearly his strength. I wouldn’t quite say he’s should only be a defensive specialist, but to suggest that he fill the role isn’t a complete slap in the face — it’s in part recognizing that his on the ball defense is some of the best in the league.

But he has terrible tunnel-vision when headed towards the rim or in transition, and his jumpers are all or nothing–no shooter’s bounce here.

Am I overly critical of Lindsey–sure. But does he make it easy for me at times–absolutely.

And I still maintain: Walton is awesome; you just need to be able to crack the code to appreciate him.
