    Francisco "The Spanish Flu" Garcia.

    Great guy, but he kind of looks like death even when healthy.

    Yea... I'm putting this game firmly I'm the loss column. I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised though.

    They've all been spreading diseases amongst each other. Shows how close they are off the court!

    Big game for us to get back on a winning trend.

    Also: Welcome back Kyle Lowry (if he plays)

    Show Jeremy Lin and Pat Beverly what a true, underrated point guard looks like.

    Lin and Bev will show how some CF fans overate their former PGs.

    wait.. what? and i thought we were forcing the post feed to him this whole time? and btw there' no room for the guards to attack the rim with TT inside. take one of them out, have the bigs (that's you, dwight) come out and set solid picks for our guards, roll hard to the basket, and good things will happen.

    but this also means dwights majority of touches will be either on the receiving end of a pnr, or on a rebound/put back. will he be happy with this?

    if you've been in this league as long as he has and is still underrated, well, there's probably a reason why he's been underrated.

    If so, DeMar DeRozan will keep the Raptors in the game and I'm afraid we'll loose.:(

    When Kyle was a Rocket and started for us and had a consistent role, he was widely considered an underrated talent for his production, salary and how little he was known around the NBA.

    When he was dumped to Toronto because McHale couldn't handle a PG (sounds familiar), his role changed, he was injured and his productivity took a hit. He had his best games in Htown, but when he is given minutes and is healthy, he is still underrated and better than plenty of starting PGs in the league.

    I'm not even a huge fan, but his talent and unique skillset are underrated. The way he rebounds, plays D and plays as physical as a PF is not common for a guard.

    If 100 % healthy, I would take him over any of the guards on our current team.

    Me too. The kid has great hands and catches everything. He just gets into foul trouble.

    Kyle got dumped because Morey wanted a draft pick to make a superstar trade.

    If we still had Lowry would you have him start or have him come off the bench?
