    Dunno if this was posted before but he's getting a lot of props from the commentators for some pretty mundane stuff. Plus he looks ridiculously slow.

    But the real question is: "does he look done?" I'm not so sure.

    Glad to see he's still doing his ridiculous head bump when he makes basic plays.

    He barely dunked that. It was sad because they showed you what he could do in that clip... Darius could fly. It was the one thing he was truly good at. It's obvious with his play on the Celtics that he can't do that anymore.

    He looks heavier then when he was last playing... that may be part of why he isn't gliding the way he used to. I'd have to see actual game to cast real judgement on his mobility, but he did look decent in those clips.

    I still think he's most likely to be cut.

    He does? He could barely get his hands over the rim to grab that alley oop at 1:49 in. He is slow as hell too.

    I was going to post the same thing, it is mysterious. It could be, and this is just speculation, it's because his last outing he had 1 point, 0 rebounds, in 9 minutes. (0 assists)

    And before that he had 2 points and 2 rebound in 13 minutes. (0 assists)

    And before that he had 0 points and 4 rebounds in 9 minutes. (0 assists)

    And before that he had 0 points and 0 rebounds in 4 minutes. (0 assists)

    So just to recap, the 3 FG's in the video represent 75% of all his field goals so far in 6 preseason games, and 66% of his total points. L. Jackson has lapped Miles so far in the preseason and I doubt he makes a team.

    Yep, and Darius didn't play at all tonight vs. New York. (DNP - Coach's Decision). I think that the tank is empty and Mr. Miles is just going through the motions.
