D will had a decent first half and will bring it much harder in the second half against the tired Washington team.

Isaiah Thomas is playing great right now but I expect that to slow down.

Just curious, what made you an Arizona fan in the first place?

Damon was what first drew me to them.
Arizona has a great basketball tradition. They play an enjoyable style of basketball to watch. They are not a cheating team, but still usually very good.

Just sort of happened but thats probably the best explanation.

Who is a "cheating team"?

Awesome move. Williams' game is so polished

I don't think williams is a SF at all. I think PJ has a better chance of being a an NBA SF than D.Williams does. It'd be in his best interest to be a PF. If he could gaurd the 4 then his O game at that position could be a real problem. On Offense at the 3, he's not that impressive.

Nah, Williams can play SF in the Donte Green, Josh Smith kind of way. Not really his ideal position but he has enough dribbling skills and quickness to do it most of the time. I disagree about him being polished though. He looks kind of raw, his moves are very basic and not very smooth. It could be the smaller court and the zone defense though, he will look a lot better in the open spacing of the NBA. He's just too big to play on the perimeter since the lane is way more cluttered.

Nah man I'm got to disagree, atleast with ur examples. Atl never took the next step because they had Josh at the 4. He should definately be playing the 3 with Horford at the 4. I'd have no problems and would sleep real well at night with Jsmooth at the 3. Don't know too much about greene, but he even seems like a better fit. I'm sure Donte would beat Dwill in a race unless hes just a real turd. Its the bulk on Dwill that I think is getting me.... Where did this SF notion even come from with Dwill, I mean maybe he played that in HS, but hes been in college for a couple yrs now and hasn't played since if i'm not mistaken. Big man can shoot 3s at a good clip and have a face up game too, we've had a couple here in Toronto.

I don't think his game's raw at all. He has great footwork, looks extremely fluid and can create his own shot.

damn. horrible d at the end.
glad this is a game that our season does not depend on. definitely get preparation for the tournament.

hopefully we start out strong in OT.
they are in foul trouble and beyond tired.
We have three extremely clutch players.
