Can't drop him now - his free throw percentage has just edged in front of his FG%. If he continues to improve and the Sprockets play a team with really bad free throw shooters, we might actually win the cat. Otherwise you're probably right, just dead weight.

You had some bad luck with Boozer & Memo out and Howard having a great week.

BTW...your team kicked my teams' AZZ in the scrub league last week and I'm in dead last over there

Duncan missing games, Hinrich still MIA, and now Kidd, perhaps faking medical problems in order to force a trade!!!

The good news I suppose is that if he does get traded he'll play like a madman the rest of the way. The bad news is that he was already playing like a madman.

I knew I should have run everyone through the Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory before the draft.

I guess I need to concentrate on my scrub team!

Having the Utah factor out definitely hurt. Boozer is seriously outplaying my number 1 draft pick right now. Dwight Howard's numbers have been insane! If you wanna get rid of that kid, I'll give you Memo and Ray Allen (just think of the threes!)

No thanks...I'm pretty happy with my 3's from Boobie, Manu, Tim Thomas & the others. Besides, Howard was my "bold" #1 pick on a hunch he'd have a breakout year... #1 boards, #1 blks, #2 FG% behind only Kimmie's Biedrins & #6 scoring!

Unfortunately, he is also #4 in TO's and his FT% is only marginally better than last year...but I can forgive him for that stuff

Good thing the league stats haven't been posted for last week or all of you might want to drop out now

All I need is for Rondo, Prince, and Kenyon Martin to hit 5 more three pointers than Pierce, Odom, and Kaman and I got this week sewed up.

It could happen. So far this week they've combined for two so they're due.

geez! my biggest injury was to my BRAIN!!! i missed at least 4 games to bad coaching! i suck.

Oh sure, now Flip decides not to play Prince 48 minutes when he's on, just when he's 3-3 from 3 and I need a couple more. Come on Flip! Play the starters!

What a week to have lost Duncan for most of the games. But Hinrich is finally coming on, Iguodala is waking up, and Miller is doing well except against the Pistons. That only leaves Ben W shooting in the sub 400 range, sub 300 range actually, but who's counting.
