Ball Hard D Waiters

[TheOUTLAW]

Maybe, but fact is Kyrie doesn't get the foul calls he should get either. It just flat out sucks to be on a bad team especially when you play against the Lakers.

what a bust, laying an egg vs Sacramento...

[Rise Against]

What a great game by Waiters. 33 points on 12-18 shooting. It sure seems like ever since he got benched, he has been playing much better.

Good game by D-wait

[Manny Phresh]

It was like Kyrie and Dion switched jerseys. Kyrie played like Dion and Dion played like Kyrie... Now we just gotta be able to get them to wear the same jersey every game.

Dion follows up his career game with that turd of a performance? Consistency, it is what separates good players from bad players.

Yea that is usually why he is called a rookie. You know since rookies are usually not that consistent.

[TheOUTLAW]

Not to mention that the game Dion had a great game Kyrie had a terrible one. Maybe both need to be a tad more consistent.

I dont know what it is about Dion, but I cant remember a player getting less respect from the refs than him. His FG% should be several ticks higher if he were to get half of the calls he should be getting, and his PPG would be a couple points higher to boot. Lets hope his rookie hazing period is almost over from the refs, because its beyond ridiculous. Hopefully next year he starts actually getting the calls he's earned and can setup his outside shot based off of his driving ability like he has been trying to.

Would be so nice to see all players treated equally by the refs and to have games called properly without bias.

You would have to take that up with Stern and his management team, good luck with that!

I think Waiters has had his best game of the season tonight. He has already shot 14 free throws, and has been attacking the rim every time he gets the ball. If he plays this way every night, he could probably average 8 FTA per game and that would be huge.

[IMHO]

waiters playing well is a double edged sword.

i mean is it really matter of him coming off the bench off now and fitting well into that role, or was that a wake up call for him to step it up?

[Baseline Runner]

He was injured.

He is a rookie.

He was making adjustments to his shot, both in learning how to finish over bigs and to stop fading on his jump shots,

He is earning respect from the refs.

Along with Kyrie he is the only offensive facilitator.


Despite all of that he has played pretty damn good. I expect the Dion that emerges in the future will be the one that we have seen over the last 5 games.

How is that not a shooting foul on top of everything. He got hit.
