What the hell is wrong with Dunleavy? 

Post#1 » by Dunthreevy » Sat Jan 30, 2010 6:46 pm

My biggest gripe with anyone on the team right now is Dunleavy (and I've always been a pretty big supporter of the guy). The way he's playing right now, he should be getting the same treatment as Ford. There is no reason why Luther Head shouldn't be getting Dunleavy's minutes at SG right now.

Since his 30 point game against Phoenix, he has played 9 games and has shot 39% (28/72) and 22% from 3pt range (6/28), averaging 8.7 points per game. Not to mention he actually has more turnovers than assists in that same span (15 TO's to 12 assists).

Add in that he can't defend worth a lick, and what you have is a player who basically has no business being on the active roster. Not exactly what you expect out of one of your key players, who just happens to be making almost $10 mill this season.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Dunleavy's going to need the rest of this season and some of next to get back in form, if ever. Rush and Dahntay I will continue to push for minutes for in this situation. Head shouldn't get minutes either.

He's looked pretty bad, almost like a timid 6th grader playing on an 8th grade basketball team. Hopefully, he comes around, but we'll see.

Something tells me that knee trouble is still restricting him from performing. I'd imagine he's still a long way away from being 100%.

He's not any good. Any time he had at all where he was good in this league is long gone.
