    Don't count on it. James has been beyond horrible. Hope head gets better, he's our best option like it or not.

    Great quote!

    I didn't even realize that injury was why Luther went out last night. I wondered why he never came back in though.

    I would imagine we should hear something in the pregame tonight about his condition and status.

    That would be why I said most cases. People who criticize and act likes it good for Head to be injured are stupid. He's not great, or a guareenteed starter. He's a good shooter of the bench and can be a spot starter if need be. That's how we use him and thats how we pay him so why all the hate.

    Luther is a serviceable back up guard that can shoot the basketball and can be a trade asset in the future if moves need to be made. To wish that he would be injured is moronic.

    Luther injured?

    Mike James comes in, no problem.

    Problem really is how can be effective as Luther.

    I like depth of this team but it really is from rookies not from veterans.

    I won't even bother to challenge you and the 14 brain cells inside your head to even support this statement. And nevermind that I made no mention of Novak whatsoever. Just put it down, man....put it down. ;)

    helped us through tmac's injury??

    until when are fans gonna remain tools who just blindly reiterate what Kevin Eschendfelder tells them to say??

    Luther is nothing, zero, nada, he is non-existent.. actually, no, he exists, as a player for the team we are playing against..

    he can't defend worth a crap
    he can't make a move on offense before waiting atleast 10 seconds while just staring at the defender
    he can't drive to the basket worth a crap
    he can't pass worth a crap
    he can't take a charge/make a defensive play for a crap
    he can't make a pass to an open Yao Ming for god's sake, post passing doesn't exist in his dictionary
    he can't hustle/dive on the floor.. wait, actually he can, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO, he's too good to do that..

    it's about time we stop worshipping a scrub who happens to hit his 3's.. a 7th grader can shoot 36 percent from the 3 point line, it ain't so special.. his shot is horrible, yes, horrible, one of the ugliest most annoying forms I've ever seen in my whole life..

    I won't go as far as wishing him an injury..

    but a blessing in disguise??

    definitely..

    Head needs to come back hard. We need regular season Head from last year. Playoff Head just wasn't cutting it and seemed to somehow come back this season. Otherwise, we'll have to look around and see what we could get for Head.

    I think someone is trying to compensate for having small ..... feet.

    To answer your pulled through Tmac injury question.

    Head averaged 13.2 pts in 31 minutes on 46.6% shooting. 2.86 assts to 1.57 turnovers good for a 1.82 ratio. He also grabbed 2.29 rebs and .93 stls.

    To make it easier I'll bring those averages up to what they would be if he averaged 35 minutes a game, the same amount Tmac currently averages.

    35 minute scale avgs: 14.9 pts 3.23 assts 2.59 rebs and 1.05 stls.

    Not great but those are all almost double his season averages. He is the main person who picked up the slack and the most obvious because he fulled Tmac's spot in the lineup. If you would take your hater/troll glasses off you'd see that. No one here has said Head is a great player all were saying his he is good for us in his role as a shooter off the bench and we'll be worse without him. If you weren't the scarecrow for a certain movie you'd be able to recognize.

    You wish your team to showcase a player in order to sell him high yet you felt lucky when he is injured.

    Brilliant!
