Sure its a foul if you hit someone on the wrist. But that did not happen to Wade in the 4th quarter tonight, yet he still shot 7 free throws... Watch the replay and point out to me where the fouls were if you disagree.



which ones? the one where he stole the rebound on Harris was definitely a foul, got him on his left arm
bull. He didnt get hit. The one in the corner when Fournier stood their with his hands up, no contact. The one where HE leaned into Dipo, bull, Wade initiated the contact.

I think they are and teaming him with Frye off the Bench is starting to bear fruit.

I really like the way the team is playing with Payton and O'Quinn starting. Much better balance off the bench so far. Hopefully both units continue to gel and work well.

He still has a lot to learn but there is no doubt that he is an amazing defensive presence down there. He is very athletic, has legit size and has really long arms. He plays with an incredible amount of activity and hustle. I notice too that he is looking better on offense lately, seems like he has been working on his game and seems more confident on offense not trying to rush everything. He even made a jumper the other day. Now he is hitting little hook shots which weren't even close before. I think he is going to stick.

Not that long ago people were clamoring for a defensive shot blocker to put next to Vuc. Looks like we already had 2 in KOQ and Dedmon and people didn't realize it.


He is a 7ft Bo Outlaw, which is an extremely dangerous defensive player. Too bad we don't have the minutes to give him.
Nope. You cant have that. I compared him to Bo whenever one eas dogging him. ;)


To compare him to Bo I think is a tad insulting.....

Why? They're both unskilled bigs who compensate with hustle and athleticism. At least Dedmon can hit his ft's.

How dare you compare him to Bo! He will never, and I mean NEVER come close to having the Hall of Fame worthy free-throw form Mr Outlaw had.

Free throw's a big delineator right there, additionally DD is actually getting better with some touch around the basket. Bo never had touch. It wouldn't surprise me if DD has a higher upside as he is a true 7 footer. Bo was only 6'8". There are 3 different factors right there.
