I do not want to see this become a habit

The ESPN boxscore says Danny is one for freakin' eleven? I think we've got more to worry about. I haven't been able to watch a game in a while, but I hope this really is just the injury, and not him falling down to earth a bit.

I see it as the losing final starting to wear on him a little.

This.

I don't particularly see much to worry about.

I think Danny is frustrated with the losing.

I said the same thing in the game thread, in my usual terse style of course. He seems to think he'll get to the line just by driving into traffic. I dun like it none.

The 2nd time was a foul that should have been called. Danny got nailed. I understand that, didn't see the first one. This has never been a habit, so your over reacting right now. Maybe he sees how many calls LeBron gets.

I agree 100%. That's one thing I couldn't stand about JO.

Twice tonight versus the Bucks I have seen Danny fail to get back on defense before first complaining to an official.

The first instance delayed him "only" about one second, but the second instance (which just happed moments before I came on PD to type this) was for at least 3 seconds, and that's just plain Jermaine O'Neal/Stephen Jackson style garbage right there.

I really, really hope Danny knocks this crap off quickly. My opinion of him will permanently be down a notch if this becomes a new routine of his.

Between this and his "kicking incident" after the Wizards game, color me moderately concerned about the direction he seems to be heading in. I hope this all-star appearance isn't going to his head. He's been the ultimate good guy/trooper/ideal lead guy up until now. I'd sincerely hate to see him start to go to a "darker" place now that he's seeing individual success.

I agree. Thirded on the good post.
