We know from our eyes and from Stan's comments, that Wafer has the desire to be there on defense. What you see on the court is athleticism and a lack of knowledge of the system. He's been on the team less than a month.

Stan has faith in him and I think in a couple months he will make himself part of this team.

his team defense is pretty bad, he doesn't have the rotations down yet..man on man i think he would have the most potential, he did get beat a few times, but i cant give an answer to that yet

i really liked how he turned it around on offense and made smart decisions, he had chances to take an average shot but passed them up so someone else can get a better shot..started slow but he played smart

This. i still think the Cleveland game was the best game he had.

Any player ever have a 50/30 in the NBA ? D12 was 5 pts and 7 rebs shy.

Goes back to what I said at the beginning of the 4th Marc Jackson should win the sweater vest for tonight's game.

hopefully he gets better before the trade deadline

Agreed, this was more on GSW for fouling him, less domination. Great game though, def top 10 of his career.

I agree Redick is definitly a much better Team Defense i agree 100% but Redick can't guard Ellis, Wade, Kobe any decent fast SG against them because he just doesn't have the speed and relies way to much on D12 to bail him out. I am hoping Wafer can learn at least towards end of the year and put a good presence on these type of guys like MP was in 2009 that might be way to hopeful but w/e

Mikan- 61 PTS, 36 REB
Wilt had a 55 board game, but no box score, so possible 50 points...

Can you imagine seeing someone get 55 rebounds? The record is never getting broken.

Dwight was owning GS on the offensive end, that's why they started fouling...

He was scoring, but shooting 50 percent is not dominating for him. Jackson started fouling him long before he starting scoring effectively.

Ya, Dwight actually got blocked twice in the first quarter. I still don't understand why Jackson started fouling him so early... should have just started with the double team since we were shooting so cold in the first half.

Orlando had a 51% shooting night. So I could not agree more.

Dwight should of had 50 though...If he hit at a higher clip Marc Jackson wouldn't have did the hack a dwight at much but Dwight still should of had 50 imo
