If I remember correctly most of us HOPED we could stay NEAR .500 until 
Fortson got back.  Let's not forget that his acquisition was supposed to be a 
key to this season.

We stunk tonight -- the loss was no one particular player's fault nor was it 
Pitino's fault.  There was a stretch in the first half where if not for a 
couple of baskets by Battie we might have fallen behind by 20.  The team 
battled back but couldn't keep up offensive consistency for any sustained 
stretch.  Philly begged us to take the game but we couldn't.  Our shots just 
wouldn't fall and the refs rarely gave us any calls either.  What this team 
could really use is a guy who can come off the bench and hit some jumpers.  
Dana was supposed to do that.  Maybe we can find that guy in the next draft 
with a mid-round pick.
