The last thing I’d want to see is this for a second time. Never again.

The last thing I’d want to see is Delfino turning into darko and being traded then he starts doing well. I’d be angry if joe D does that

I’m very interested in what Delfino will do in the first 20 games this season. I’m tired from people screaming how he was such a gem last season, only to see him rot on the bench game after game. People have been praising his ability to drive and create his own shot for a year now (despite, you know, not actually seeing him play all that much). I remain pretty skeptical, but I hope he proves me wrong.

Of course, that was that when Dumars said he would not trade Darko too.

You just have to wait and see what happens. No one is safe in this day and age.

Sometimes gettin’ time can be all the difference…

Last year the Sacramento Kings had a young guard, Ronnie Price; that I could see loved ‘d’ & gettin’ into ‘d’ with his low-posture like a minnie ronron, & instead Jason Hart(perceived to be stronger on offense) would get the nod for playing time at back-up p.g.

When Ronnie did get on the court, he was so impatient to show he deserved to be there he made assinine mistakes & choices, rushed things as young players are wont to do that feel they haven’t had a chance….

in Vega$ when he had time with Francisco Garcia & Kevin Martin out he put up 30 points. I think Delfino just needs to relax, the coaching staff needs to draw up some plays so he knows where he’s gonna get the ball…etc…blah-blah-blah. Right now, I don’t see that he’s been given a chance to really show what he can do considering Mo’ Evans had most of his minutes last season.

First of…wooh go me. Second I think the complaining hes done was actually miss translated. Now I agree he was a bit lost on offense but you also need time to get used to the system. Defense I thought he did good for the most part. A couple cheap calls but thats what happens when your a young guy that noone knows. If Delfino does end up getting time and sucking I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong. But lets see what he does when he does get time.

I hope Delfino proves me wrong. I will be pulling for him big time. I will still be very suprised to see him rocking a Piston jersey come opening day.

Can’t blame the guy for wanting to play.

Can’t blame Joe for wanting him to play.

But, I can’ blame Flip for not playing him last year. Two box scores don’t tell the story on this guy. He was lost on offense and defense, missed everything, and complained to the press right before the playoffs (for the second year in a row).
