Ankle I believe.

I think the only qualm anyone had was that Skiles would wear players thin by year 3. Most thought he would be a major improvement but would end up needing to be replaced in a rather quick manner.

Jesus Mario better spend all offseason with a handles coach. Dudes dribbling is terrible!

Nice work Addi!

Mario is Raw as hell! He's a turnover machine and has generally been bad on defense. He's not doing what is asked of him yet. I get it we all want to see Mario play(myself included) but he needs to show that he's ready. He's not, Fournier is still much better than him even in his slump or regress to the means or whatever we are calling it.

You guys do realize Harris was sat by Skiles as well and he is doing just fine. Skiles obviously feels as if Mario isn't ready to start intruding on other players minutes. He's a rookie who makes mistakes and has some minor things to work on. Let's let him earn his keep!

I'm amazed at how many things he's gotten wrong and yet people continue to support him and tout him as some insider with great sources. More often than not he gets something wrong and then somehow convinced the masses he was right all along. It's weird to me. I can't stand him.

Too much for the risk we would be taking on.

Not to mention how he flip flopped by saying he wanted out, opted in, then said he wanted out again. He was a mess and because of that our team suffered on the floor. You want out fine but dont be a dick about it.

Agreed that is a pretty terrible trade.

Is this situation not similar to the JJ situation? It was "risky" to acquire Harris. A lot of us had no idea who he was. JJ was also in a contract year right? I'm not saying this move should be made but if it was I'd assume it would make sense financially and team need wise.

That was pretty much my point. If he is passing up those opportunities and converting them to fouls fine. If he is passing them up and taking bad shots or forcing turnovers due to a clogged lane(he is most likely open in the first place due to his man sagging a bit) then I much rather he continue to shoot the 3. There have been plenty of weird shooting strokes hitches ect that have at least moderately succeeded in the NBA. Maybe it's just his ugly shot. If he can become consistent I don't care how it looks mechanically. So if that's the case the more shots he puts up the better for his consistency.

He teased the hell out of us with his start. He was exactly what we have been longing for and as of now is nothing of the sort. I think he ends up being somewhere in between. If that's the case he is totally expendable.

Fournier is not very good and reliable. He is solid and inconsistent at best.

What gets me is his 3 point shots are generally good shots. I just wish he would make more! I'm glad he he is taking less but a question that probably can't be answered is what is he doing with those 3 point shots he is now passing up. Hopefully the ones he is passing up on are ones that could be considered not good shots. If they are good shots I rather he continue to take them.

We lose Or Career game for Dipo Book It!

Question for the rational bunch out there.(I missed the game) Was Dipo really that bad? He seems to be the scapegoat as the whole team looked to be a disaster.

I don't have insider but Ford has us taking Zimmerman from UNLV. Super early but an interesting pick. I'm not sure if we finish bad enough to have a oppurtunity to grab him. http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/14313463

Weird? We have been terrible at guarding the 3 all year.

Pretty weird both my NBA and college teams have long standing 3 point made streaks. UNLV and of course our Magic.

I cant wait until Nicholson is part of a package that nets us something real nice!

To be fair every player on the team is up for grabs for the right superstar. No player is good enough to not trade at this point regardless of the outcome tonight.

*Long 2.

He pulled up because Vuc wasnt looking for the ball due to the trip. Thats how I saw it at least.

Gotcha missed that in the post that you quoted.
