I've been a fan of Keyon Dooling since his Clipper days. I felt he never really got a fair chance with the team and they gave up on him too, fast. Dooling is a smart player, and understands his role as a point guard. He finally got a chance last night against the Cavs, and the way he played demonstrated how effective he can be. In only 19 minutes he shot 6-8 from the field and scored 13 points. He gave the Heat a big lift off the bench offensively, and also did a great job of defending. Hopefully he can get more playing time with his performance last night in a big game, and with Damon Jones struggling.
I personally loved the job Dooling did last night. His speed just brings so much to the Heat's transition game. I do agree that he is underrated and I also think he deserves just as much playing time as Damon Jones does. Dooling is a hard worker. He's the kind of player that will do the dirty work. Such as diving for loose balls and making sure his man is sealed off of the rebound. When he's in the game the Heat seem to play with more energy and push the ball more. I hope to see him logging serious minutes in the next few games.
That was a big game for him. I never realized how fast he was! Btw, I thought his name was Keyon Dooling?
I knew he had it in him... everytime I saw him play in Miami for the little minutes he had, he brought intensity and fire. A great spark off the bench. I think, with DJ struggling abit now, that they sould share minutes. Like 24 minutes each... it'd be nice to see what happens.
