    Playing basketball contributes to the flu???

    Whether you like it or not, it's hard to critique the move considering we've won the 2 games since it was made.

    sigh, Boki should have been a much better player than Korver imho.
    now Korver is developing into something after getting solid minutes, but Boki has to sit in the injury list.

    Rockets lost Griffin, and now Boki is leaving ......

    We barely beat a struggling 76ers team and had trouble finishing off the worst team in the NBA. Lets see what happens in the next 2 games. i know we will need JJ and we could use Boki as well.

    i do not understand why Boki is on the IL. If he really is injured it is ok. But if he is not then JVG should be fired.IMHO. I'm not to fast in judging a coach, but i hate it when our team plays ugly and bad basketbal. And one of the fan favorites, and young talented players, who is finally showing something, also one of our best 3 point shooters gets send to the IL. Then something is wrong. Boki has been our best 3 point shooter. At this point our shot has is verry bad, so why in the world did JVG send our best outside shooter(except T-Mac) to the IL????:confused:
    PLease JVG let Boki play.

    The threat of the THree ball is now gone with out boki. LIke Bowen is going to hit anything from out there.

    I admit I loved the hustle from bowen last night, but man.....we need a shooter.

    I agree, who would want to "play" for this guy (JVG)? ....... I still see the ability in Boki.

    As much as I like Boki from a personal stance, I feel like Bowen gives us the best chance to win ball games. Since we don't have any sort of rebounder, we need a scrapper like him, someone who will go all out, 110% for the ball. While Boki was good, his hustle IMO is no where near Bowen's

    If they are willing to give up Boki and keep Gaines and Bowen i will be very pissed off.

    Ditto...


    True.....but it's true for any player. Who hustles more than Bowen on this team? ......or just about any team?

    AB comes close

    we have 4 guys who will hustle out there at all times, in order of their "hustle factor"

    Bowen
    AB
    Boki
    Padge

    Well the minimum 5 games is up and he is still on the IL.

    That's got to suck for not only him..but everyone here who was liking his game.

    Unless JVG is trying to make us believe that he is really hurt or something.

    What the hell is JVG doing? How come Reece Gains get minutes and we never even get to see Nachbar play anymore.

    Yes, that is just stupid. Boki looks much better out there than Gaines! Boki hit like 50 % of his threes this season, and what is the reward? He gets put on the IL. What has Gaines done? Nothing!

    At least Gaines is really good at doing nothing..he is definently achieving that.

    I doubt Gaines still have any trade value the way he's been playing.

    Wait, you forgot Bob Sura. He's always after the loose ball or miss shots.
