    D-Mo must have enjoyed the night life last night, and that blonde. He looked a little weak in the knees tonight.

    he actually played on PG position at the end of the game and who knew he can actually play there, never seen him on that spot before, that's probably why. There was this nice assist to Lamb for three points, I believe, minute or two left in the game. Maybe he has a future as a playmaker, who knows.

    Hopefully the loss wakes some of these guys up. Especially Donuts.

    Also: Free throw shooting today was like a crime against humanity.

    The good:
    Great games by Jeremy Lamb and Terrence Jones. Both really showed their college championship pedigree.

    Zoran Dragic was great, his effort reminded me of his Brother.

    The Bad:
    D-Mo need's to learn to remain assertive despite slow start. The slow start completely took him out of the rhythm of the game. Also I know he's a better free throw shooter then what he's shown.

    Royce has yet to be effective playing that big spot. Personally I want to see him being used more as a wing. Although its gonna be tough given his lack of a jumper.

    D-Mo was in all the right places at the right time early in the game... guards could not feed the man the ball.. he was hands out... give me the ball...
    ready rock to and roll straight to the rim...Jezzzz.

    was right there early on in the game...?????

    D-mo was there.

    White is like not ready for nba. He's moving like half step slower than others. Having trouble fighting for position. Also lost position in box out.

    I strongly disagree. He was setting absolutely beautiful screen and rolls. It isn't his fault the guards couldn't find him.

    I don't normally read much into summer games, but Zoran Dragic has impressed me with his defense and flat out hustle. Don't think he can score quite as well as his brother, but I like all the other parts of his game.

    And he is taller than Goran, how tall is he?

    Anyone else disappointed with Greg Smith? I remember we were glad we locked him up "before some other team got him." LOL, he is not doing very well out there either.

    ok then.. but what about the production on the glass, and that fat overweight kid Siler was destroying him in the post

    If he doesnt score any points, you have to grab more than 4 rebounds in 24 minutes of playing time, the Wizards kept getting offensive boards and 2nd chance points

    Yeah he couldn't really get into the game, all he took (that i remember) one missed post move, a couple of blind put backs and 2 semi contested 3's from the corner. The whole game he was setting picks and trying to be in the right position to post up but nobody got it to him. I wouldn't worry about his bad play too much. What i didn't like was since he couldn't get involved on offense he gave up almost on the whole game he didn't defend, rebound or run the court like he did yesterday but, he also looked dead tired. Maybe yesterdays game took a lot out of him and he isn't in the type of shape to come play at a high level every night.

    I remember the only things most people liked about him is that he was big and had really huge hands. Nothing about his game stands out as of now.

    Played 10 minutes tonight. Grabbed 2 boards. If anything he's still a project.
