Dooling: "I Was in So Much Pain"

PrintIn an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Keyon Dooling admits last season was a lost season because of a difficult recovery from off-season hip surgery.
"Coming off my best year in my career, I was thinking I had finally turned the corner and I might do some damage in this league now," Dooling said. "But last year was a challenge for me. A lot of times I shook my head and I would be in so much pain, I just didn't know. I just pushed through."
Dooling, now backing up Brandon Jennings with the Bucks, credits the Nets long time trainer with helping him make it through the season. "I had a great trainer in Tim Walsh up there (with New Jersey). I'm feeling great now."
The Nets waived Dooling in June, saving $3.3 million on a $3.8 million buyout.

Gonna miss KD
He really played great in the 08-09 season and such a classy act.
KD was always a classy guy.
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
Keyon will be missed. On another note, Tim Walsh, could very well be the best athletic trainer in the league! He kept Vince Carter healthy throughout his time with the Nets, he helped Jason Kidd come back from that horrible knee operation, and he kept the skinny Kerry Kittles playing for ten seasons with us. Just to name a few accomplishments.
LETS GO NETS!
Loved Dooling’s game and leadership. We will miss you. Not much veteran leadership on this team. Notice that the Bucks are assembling a potent team with a mix of youths and vets. Nice balance. What we have lacked these past two years.
it takes time to do that bro
we’ll be there.

Well, Keyon
We were all in so much pain last season.

should have kept him
instead of getting farmar. i think that will prove to be true during the upcoming season.
Farmar is going to provide a spark off of the bench
mark my words, we all will like Farmar by December.

youre right...
…in that we wont dislike him. but im thinking this way…if harris goes down, which seems inevitable for at least some part of the season, i would want KD starting.

kudos to Keyon
always a class act, always played hard, and always was a vocal leader on the floor. Ever since our playoff series against Miami a few years ago where he hounded Vince Carter like a rabid dog on defense, I wanted that guy in a Nets uni, too bad he had to come when were in the middle of a regime change.
It’s too bad he couldn’t finish out with us, we need a veteran in the locker room with his head on straight.

I like Keyon
But there is so much risk associated with him staying healthy, that I think he can be no better than the #3 PG on the depth chart right now. If that weren’t true, than I, like many of you, would have been clamoring for the Nets to keep him. But NBA rosters are so short to begin with, you can’t afford a guy in your rotation that you would be happy if he played 65 games.
A great backup on a playoff team
Glad he escaped our rebuilding process…..if he is healthy, Keyon can handle 10-15 minutes a night on a playoff team without much dropoff from the starter….Milwaukee is a perfect fit…..
