Diaw is the 2nd best talent on this team>>

next to Shareef. He's better than JT was after 3 years in the league. A smarter more complete player.

He's going to have his ups and downs but last night proved he needs to be starting for this team. Great statline 8/8/5/2.

Bob and Stinger were commenting all night on Diaw and what he brought to the game.

We're down big in the first quarter and they pulled back to make it an interesting game right up to the end.

Dion actually looked good off the bench too.

oh, JT is a nitwit.

I think Boris could be a poor mans Artest and we should

hold on to him(even though I'd rather have Howard) and

he's cheap. I haven't seem him much the last few games

because I just can't take watching this team for more than

a few minutes at a time...but the statline is good. Did he

defend Carter at all last night? I know Diaw's a rookie...

but he seems like the best option to defend a guy like

Carter...Although getting ruffed up too much early in

his career could have it's effects confidence wise.

When I see him though I can't understand why he isn't

a better scorer...He doesn't look like he lacks confidence

at all...

Jackson/Glover guarded Carter for the most part...

I saw Diaw guarding Rose a lot... and played great D on Rose for 23 seconds and then Rose would do his thing and score on a hard play... but i can live with that.

Diaw is a decent shooter, imo... i think its just the confidence that hes trying to build up. He doesnt want to try to do too much out there. Diaw shot a 3pter that could have tied the game for us but missed the shot... i can live with that tho...

IMO, he can be a SOLID ROLE PLAYER as a starter in this league for the next 15 years...
