It's always fun to go back and read through the daily dime discussions live recap. I decided to pick everything out that mentioned Robo:
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
At last summer's pre-draft camp in Chicago I spoke at length with Roddy Buckets. He was incredibly soft spoke. I left thinking he lacked confidence. And I was wrong. Looks like the Mavs found a good player.
Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas):
@Timothy -- Beaubois lacks confidence in his English, not his game.
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
@Tim, no doubt. The thing I liked about him was how passionate he sounded about playing D. Looks like that translates just fine.
Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas):
Roddy Buckets in the last three-plus games as a starter: 41 points on 65-percent shooting in 65 minutes.
STEIN_LINE_HQ:
I also feel personally ripped off that Parker can't go tonight because I want to see TP and Beaubois on the floor together. Racing
STEIN_LINE_HQ:
Popovich expert pre-game analysis on Beaubois: "He's a hell of a lot faster than you are."
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
Beabouis looks like Dallas' future point.
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
Beabouis might be the fastest player in the league.
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
@Justin: Without Ginobili or Parker, the Spurs want to keep the scoring low. Control the pace, slow Roddy Buckets, gring it out in the half court.
Timothy Varner (48MoH/TrueHoop Network):
George Hill is trying to get in on the promising young point talk. Roddy Buckets stole all his press in the first half.
Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas):
Carlisle is still hesitant to give Beaubois clutch PT. He sat the whole fourth quarter in Milwaukee ... then shut down Brandon Jennings in OT.
