He seemed like the only guy from last year's team that would punch out his mom to win a game. The rest of these guys have better size and more skill, but they look really lackadaisical at time. The team has a lot of funny guys. Maybe too many. That said, they're still really good.

I think they miss going small. Treavon dribbles too much in 2 guard lineups.

I think we thought this one was over. Giving them a little life now.

Wow dekkers post game looks good

Nigel has some unreal post moves. There's no reason more players can't learn to operate in the post like that.

That turnaround fadeaway jumper thing is really nice looking and he should be able to get it almost at will against most teams. That's the kind of thing I want to see from him, make use of his skills.

Nice win, pretty nice to get off to an 11-1 start and feel like we aren't even playing our best basketball.

Yep lookin ahead the schedule. Sets up nicely. The big ten looks down this year

That Texas So loss for MSU confounds me. I don't know who is going to be any good at all in the B10 outside of OSU. And they are suspect IMO.

Need to get pushed a little more than I think we are going to be pushed.

The only other team outside of WI and OSU is maryland. They look pretty good. Michigan has talent but they don't seem to put it together. I know izzo and MSU will be competitive but they just lost to Texas So. Badgers should easily win the big ten.

Dekker is pretty worthless sometimes.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #192 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 1:34 am

Our lack of perimeter shooting is going going to get us in trouble this year.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #193 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 1:37 am

Apparently Kaminsky is the only one that came to play tonight.

No offensive flow. Look like Ryan's plodding teams. Lethargic.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #195 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 2:07 am

Playing with a lot more energy and focus this half so far.

I can't imagine being an nba GM and thinking sam dekker could ever improve my team.

Yeah. Just disappears so much. I could see taking a flyer on him in the 2nd round but draft sites still have him going between like 15-20. That's way too high for him.

He must've heard you guys.

I love people judging based on a half of basketball. If Dekker had flip flopped his two halves no one would have said a word about him.

Try two and a half seasons.

I'm no where close to giving up hope with him, but let's be real about it.
