Re: Big Mistake

Strickland has served our short term scoring problem well. He definitely was
our 3rd and 4th scoring option before Delk and Rogers appeared. His star was
starting to fade just before. I thought he could be long term help but with
his scoring down, he's a liability now. Can't handle the ball or make good
decisions enough to get meaningful minutes.

Pierce is and has been the man on the team for awhile. He just gets better.
His zig zag drives are phenomenal. There's no doubt if we land a center or
develop one, the League is in trouble at the top. When's Battie coming back?
