D-WILL

This post will be short but certainly not sweet. I have not the faintest idea where Deron Williams has gone since the all-star break. He has shown up every other game, while shooting ridiculous percentages in his off games. Tonight, he managed a eye-popping 4-14 from the field and a 2-5 from the line. Those are Shaq numbers. No, those are worse than Shaq numbers. He is the engine of this team and we need him to play every. single. night. We cannot afford 2 losses to the Kings and the Clippers, but that is what we've got. Tonight was truly awful, though. Down by two, Carlos Boozer, who put in another stellar night, stole the ball with 30 seconds left. Williams was fouled and missed both (!) free-throws. After then being down five, he turned the ball over. This is the first time I can remember saying this, but he single-handedly lost us this game. I hereby revoke his nickname of D-Hulk until he earns it. An all-star plays every night. Not just when he is angry. We need Deron to perform; otherwise we a mediocre, eight-seed caliber team.
