    I like THT, but he's being overhyped around here IMO. He's not better than Kuz, neither is he going to squeeze out Caruso this season. There is a place for him on this roster and I could even see him average around 10 min a game, but that's as high as it gets. Schroeder has to earn his spot, I don't care what his expectations are, so does Wes. THT is even lower in the pecking order, and I'm pretty sure Vogel will make him earn his playing time too.

    If THT takes Caruso's or Kuz's place, it's because he's made a HUGE leap. If that happens, the beter for us. I just don't see it going that far this season. He would have to be in the mold of some very special players to go that far at his age. Hope I'm wrong though.

    BUMP. The Eagle should never hit Page 2. He did hit his 3s last night.

    He's definitely a 2 on offense and a 1 on defense. He really is a Beverly type: you can see what he wants to do in a playmaking role but even though the ideas are good he ends up turning the ball over a lot.

    That being said on a team with a Lebron this really isn't an issue and is a strength but I think this should be factored into his contract negotiations

    vogel said if it had been a closer game he prob would have gone back in.

    doesnt seem too big a deal

    Oh good news, I thought I saw them icing shooting hand later on and glad to be wrong. Drained another 3, had a beautiful running hook going to his right across key and a nice cut and reverse right hand layup all in the 2nd I saw on the highlights.

    Only thing Kareem ever had on him was bigger hands. Like MJ had on Kobe.

    That hook was so great! Had no idea AC had that in the arsenal! Hope his hand is better and he can play tonight. We need defense at the guard positions.

    OK I was right when I thought I saw AC's shooting hand wrapped in a big bunch of ice late in the game when I kept asking in GT if he had been injured in the 2nd quarter that I didn't see, since he hadn't played in 2nd half.
