The Pistons have had like 8 fast breaks all season. Singler probably has 4 points on 2 fast breaks.

Also apparently: they've gone from like 30th in pace to 16th since his insertion into the starting lineup.

Singler = fast break magician

“Hopefully they’ll get a little taste of some Dream Puffz, and it will be nice little reward if they win,” Zoubek said. “But if they lose, I’m taking them away.”

"In the 413 minutes Singler has played, the Pistons have outscored opponents by 25 points.

In the 355 minutes Singler has been on the been on the bench, opponents have outscored the Pistons by 62 points."

I'm not sure how many of you will remember or know about Gene Banks, but he is the one human being that most influenced my being a Duke fan. I saw this on TDD, and it is the only thread on TDD that hasn't sucked in a long time. Do yourself a favor and read this article about one of the greatest people to ever put on a Duke uniform:

Also, if you've never watched it, click on the YouTube link of Banks' EPIC throw down in Ralph Sampson's face.

They don't make 'em like this anymore.

That Banks dunk is invalid without hip hop beats.

ESPN Insider article on Austin Rivers having arguably the worst NBA season ever:

Even if he never turns it around and he is the worst player in the league for a few years, it would be cool that he had the best game and biggest shot of his basketball life in Chapel Hill for Duke, and then Duke became the best team in the country after he left.

Thank god the #10 pick in the draft is getting front page ESPN coverage. Not like their were any important NBA games yesterday.

Watching Kyrie play vs. Washington tonight....wow. He is something special to watch. The Wiz crowd loves his crossovers.

 

[Pantone287]

Aww

 

[DurhamSon]

From that picture it looks like he's still not cutting his own steak.

I love that pic of Shav & McCants, great stuff.

This bears repeating: JJ Redick is having a really good year. Had a bad turnover late today, but he displayed fantastic shooting and playmaking throughout the game. He has improved so much it is pretty remarkable.

The fanbase should be proud of this guy.

 

[rome8180]

Speaking of Redick, here's a really great interview with him in the N & O. All kinds of talk about Duke.

I watched Nolan get some floor time for awhile lastnight against the Raptors. Minutes are scarce for him so far this season. Hopefully he can get some more PT in the season's 2nd half. Tough to take time from Lillard, though

 

[rome8180]

Nolan is getting bumped down to the D-league.

I didn't think he'd be an amazing pro, but I thought he'd be better than this.

 

[ChibCU]

Ouch, that sucks. They got a stud in Lillard.

Nolan is getting bumped down to the D-league.

I didn't think he'd be an amazing pro, but I thought he'd be better than this.

I think hes in a weird situation in Portland. Id like to see him somewhere like NY, Sacramento, or really San Antonio
