    Does anybody know if there's a true reason as to why Daniels hasn't played? Not just "speculation" or "opinion".. For a team like ours who shoots so many 3's it doesn't make any sense to have one of our best shooters riding the pine the whole time. Especially when Garcia...

    I mean his defense can't be that bad. Was he known for being a hard head? Does he have a low basketball IQ?

    All he did was jack threes. Didn't really bring anything else onto the court.
    And he didn't sink his threes. It looks really bad when all you're doing is missing threes.
    He didn't do anything bad, just wasn't hitting his shots during his opportunity. He'll get another crack later in the season.

    He is just as bad as Garcia, doesn't bring much to the table beside shooting

    I think we just shifted to a more defense minded team. Garcia is a better defender than Daniels. But Garcia's 3 ball lately... :eek:

    He hasn't been given a true chance all season though? You can't expect the guy to sit on the bench for the first 3 quarters and come in and sink threes. Mchale should have been letting him get into an early rhythm and used to the game flow. He got 12 minutes against Memphis in garbo time and went 2-6 and 13 minutes against SA in garbo time and went 3-7. He hasn't exceeded 5 minutes outside of those two games this season. (except for the first LA game with 9 minutes)

    Its not what he did, its what he didnt do.. And thats knock down treys. Every game Ive seen him in early on was him jacking it up every time he got the ball. This offense is predicated on giving everybody the green light to shoot the three but lets at least try to shoot 30%, you know, what hes paid to do.

    I think the margin of defense between the two is minimal.

    Garcia is shooting 20% from 3 this year (worse than Daniels). Plus he hasn't even been playing this "great" defense like you all swear he is capable of doing.

    He at least deserves minutes over Garcia.

    He fills the same role as terry, but he isn't the vet terry is. He is a SG, that's it, no other role. Terry can fill the 1 and 2, and is a better player.

    That's the reason he is on the bench. We are not trying to develop anyone this year.

    He is a rookie and does not understand NBA defenses. Nor the offense. Just pipe down and be patient please.

    He doesn't play the 3 and he doesn't even play the little defense that Garcia does. He needs to expand his game to get on the court.

    Same thing Cannan did when Bev plays I guess. SMH

    Mchale needs to play Cannan even when Bev is back.

    As for Daniels…not sure.

    Matador defense combined with the fact that he's not even shooting the ball well when he's been out there. Canaan is providing what we thought we would get from Daniels this year.

    Maybe because Houston bigs have been injured? Where have you been?

    I would just like to see how a lineup with Canaan, Daniels, Harden, DMo, and Howard(Black) will do.

    Were they injured at the beginning of the season when Black was still getting plenty of minutes on the court?....... he played 40 minutes in the first two games and had 4 points 4 rebounds 0 blocks and 5 personal fouls.
