    The Rafer haters are about to be reminded just how important he is to this team. Oh well, maybe extended time as a starter will help Brooks learn to run the offense better. It certainly can't hurt for him to be a better PG in the playoffs.

    This is Brook's big chance. We know he can score, we know he can distribute, but can he run plays? Not as well as Rafer. But if he does, it would be a major step forward for him and the team. Sorry about Rafer, I don't want anyone to be hurt or in pain.

    and that may be a problem. aaron did pretty well against paul when we play Hornets (Rafer was out because of suspention). But billups is a different player, he is gonna post up Brooks all day long. That's why we need McGrady to guard him at least.

    And Aaron has been really struggling lately. After a phenomenal start he is just comming back on the Earth.

    Chron says day to day. Definitely out for Tuesday, but after that it's a tossup.

    If Steve doesn't see a minute in Rafer's absence, he is done.

    Now is time for AB to step up. I like his ability to make shots, mid range and the 3. I need a break from the NEVER go in floaters and crazy one handed passes for turnovers.

    He can run plays if Tmac stops demanding the ball and going one on one. Please AB wave Shemac off and tell him to run the offense. Steve needs to back up AB and definitely not Luther. Scares me at best.
