4th quarter, 9 minutes left:
11 points, 5 assists, perfect from the line (6-6).
2-12 from the field was atrocious, but it's nice to see him get 32 minutes on the court against a very tough point guard in Baron Davis. Kudos to Trav for finally getting some extended time to showcase what we already knew.
It is amazing how fast he pushes the pace while still in complete control. Hopefully he finds his stroke, because if he does...he's the Pacer starting point guard as long as O'Brien continues this type of offense.
Diener's a winner. I saw the boxscore and was happy to see the Pacers won while Diener was the PG. But I noticed that they won despite giving up 117 pts, and since Diener's weakness is his defense, I couldn't help but wonder if that high point total was just a coincidence.
If Diener continues to play, I'll now have a team to follow. The Bulls are done.
Just thought it was pretty cool to see Diener "hot" right now on Yahoo's fantasy basketball home page.
