If Fortson continues to underperform he likely won't be resigned making the Mercer trade Mercer for Eric Williams !  yikes .

I was going to post the same thing. For those that don't watch games, I 
want to make sure it doesn't fuel unwarranted Pitino criticism (timeouts 
and rotations are another story ;^)

When Fortson went down I told myself I would wait until after the all-star 
break to really judge the team. I figured they would need that much time to 
gel and get in sync.

I still really, really, really want to see a few extended minutes of Kenny, 
Pierce, Walker, Fortson, and V on the floor at once...like I said I'll wait.

PS We are currently in 10th place in the east, the 6 teams immediately 
ahead of us have an average record of only .529. It's not a cakewalk, but 
certainly encouraging.
