    Anybody else notice the amount of non-attention Grant Hill is getting from the media?

    Everybody just knows that he'll never make it back fully... and even if he does, he's gonna get injured again.

    Grant Hill = Ken Griffey Jr. (except that junior was already a HOF when his injuries occured... Hill is probably a borderline one, but only because the b-ball HOF takes into account college ball).

    Boki has sealed his fate with his performance. I cannot watch this game anymore. Not having TMac and JJ on the court just creates a significant void.

    I like JVG's idea (if it was his) of holding out T-Mac and Howard now - when it doesn't count.

    Let them have their debute against Orlando during the reg. season - so they can make their on court statement when it counts.

    Rox play Orlando @Orlando Thursday January 20th then in Houston Monday January 24th.

    Gaines and Boki are going to force JVG to play TMac and JJ 40 minutes a piece.

    Grant Hill looks darn good. Dwight Howard is a player. The guy is already built like a veteran.

    any team will suck if one of their top 2 players goes down.

    You notice once we have Yao and Mo T out on the floor, Rockets go out on a 8-0 run. Imagine Yao,Tmac,JJ, and JHo on the floor. They couldnt handle this..

    Bowens look nice. I could see him getting all of the minutes Gaines and Boki were supposed to get. All 3 have horrid jumpshots, but Bowens can least scrap for rebounds.

    Van Gundy not playing T-Mac serves no useful purpose for us. From looking at the few preseason games, our offense runs much smoother when he is in the game. He obviously creates shots for himself and with his passing ability creates for others (much better than Steve could). If Van Gundy wants to take a look at some of the bench players, putting them out there and telling them to dump it into Weatherspoon and Deke every time does not help them. The offense looks so stagnant and flows better when T-Mac is playing. Plus the fact that this is his first game back in O-Town...he basically said F**K the fans. Sometimes I think he thinks he is bigger than the team...just irks me.
