    I hope we can get Troy his shots G6. Every bright spot on the team is so freaking crucial right now!

    The thing is, the more games we play, our % of winning jump way up. This give the team to practice and run more plays for Daniel. His efficiency is as sexy as Parson's face.

    Glad to have Troy on the team. Look forward to seeing him play for a full season. Hopefully.

    Troy Daniels has earned himself a spot in the starting line-up. Even he is having a better series than Harden.

    The way they are guarding Daniels is helping other players because of spacing. Who else on our team would they have to face guard every minute. Frees up space for Harden, Lin and Howard.

    They should cut Harden's time on the court in order to try and get Daniels 30 minutes in the game. This is how he can be more efficient.

    Has Daniels got any passes or assists from Harden in the playoffs yet?

    Wouldn't it be cool if McHale would run Daniels off some screens for 3pt shots ala Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Richard Hamilton?

    Actual. Plays!

    troy daniels is fricking awesome. small sample size, but game winning threes in the playoffs... always going to be a small sample size for that.

    He hasn't been bad but he hasn't been great either. He has pretty much consistently been slow on his defensive rotations. As much as I love the kid and his shot, he does have some other weaknesses in his game as well.

    I love that he is getting some playing time, but giving him 30 minutes in the middle of the playoffs right now is too much!

    Hard not to like Daniels. He really has been a bright spot of this very painful series. Although he is limited in his abilities on defense, its not for lack of effort. He really is getting in people's faces and I hope Mo Williams has a career ending injury, that guy is garbage (like my statement).

    his on the ball defense is pretty good actually. I was at the game and really paid attention to him defending lilliard drives. He did pretty well just wans't hand checking him like Beverly does.

    His defense has actually been pretty good.

    Portland put a ton of attention on Daniels in game 5. They were not leaving him, whatsoever.

    He needs to get more playing time with Harden, Parsons, and Dwight.

    He is scrappy, too. Watching him hustle for boards and loose balls last night only made me like him more.
