Good consistency Dan.  One minute we may be able to salvage the season if
only, and the next we aren't going any place anyway.  Which is it??

aren't going any place for a few years so let's dump KA while he has value
and get a point, even a green one if need be and let him grow with the team.

this lineup who's worth looking at, IMO, is Moiso, and even he's been
missing for two games. Even a blind man can see that Miskiri is not NBA
material, we all know about Wallah, Elliott is a guaranteed cut, and I bet
Wallace is calling around and trying to dump Carr for a 7th round pick in
2043 and cap filler as we speak.Still, unless Pitino's trying to see how
they respond in the worst possible situation, there's no sense having them
on the court at the same time. This was reminiscent of last year when the
starters went out, but worse.

strong deltoid ligament on the medial side usually doesn't tear completely,
but gets partially ripped off the bone with little bone chunks still
attached to it, what's called avulsion. If that happens, you're looking at a
month or two in a cast. Besides, there are tendons of important push-off and
stabilizer muscles (tibialis posterior, flexors hallucis and digitorum etc.)
in that area that can also get affected in an eversion sprain. The goods
news is that he didn't *land* on someone's ankle - he *stepped* on it. So
maybe it's not so bad. Still, Adrian last year in Chicago just stepped on
someone's ankle, too, and his year was basically finished. It would be a
pity, because Herren has looked very promising the last 2 games.

even if we could. Like him or not, he's one of our "New Big Three" in terms
of scoring. And he can still pass when he wants to, and hopefully, having
strong backups this year will make him want.
