I second this notion. Sad that some will latch onto this as Afflalo becoming a bad teammate.

Ping pong balls are getting more favorable after tonight.

So, even after tonight's blah game, there is still a bright side

Lol
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Davis also said he wished Jacque Vaughn didn't take him out in the third quarter because it hurt his confidence.

Oh for **** sake :noway:

any details? thanks


nothing exciting, they asked Vaughn about his play and if he was surprised Afflalo didn't attempt a shot until the late 3rd, Vaughn didn't really have an answer and quickly jumped to talking about the wonderful morning practice they had, and he was confident with this lineup

yeah, i'm impressed that AA limited himself to 4 shots, and went on to collect 9 boards and hand out 5 assists. his stat line definitely supports what you're sayin.

good for him. i don't have a problem with him deferring, especially when JJ is shooting lights out. same way i'd be happy for other players to defer if AA is on fire.

if any player should have controlled themselves more, it's Davis. it's certainly possible AA was having a dig at him, but i unlikely, IMO.

he was still confident enough to jack up 16FGAs, whilst only making 4 of them. seems like he could've done with a little more hurting, tonight.

i wonder if that's a statement, or like MagicStarwipe said, a conscious effort to get others involved?

JJ touched on accountability in his interview, it's up on the magic's site. Tomorrow will be a fun meeting/film session I bet.

Baby's interview is there too. :roll:
