    We very well could be if Roy is out for awhile. Especially because Camby will probably miss some games due to injury and Pryzbilla could possibly get pushed further back to play it safe. I guess if Miller, Matthews, Batum, and Aldridge all play like all-stars then you are right, otherwise, with out suspect defense, and possible lack of offensive firepower, watch out!

    We can get back to back lottery picks if we tank this season and there is a lockout next year.

    BARGAIN!

    I like watching them better without Roy.

    Why? I think Roy would be a blast to watch a game with.

    True.

    Back to the topic...

    Getting Greg back was only going to be a bonus, anyway.

    I'm going to enjoy going to the games Thursday and Saturday against our two Division opponents. Even without Pryzbilla, we should be competitive. Have to hope Sean Marks doesn't have to play too much.

    #1 At Least Greg is knows what Rehab is like, he won't have to waste valuable time learning his exercises.
    #2 This still isn't the Z'Bo & Miles Era
    #3 This is a wonderful teaching moment for whenever someone says "At least it couldn't be worse".
    #4 More people will learn what the Gambler's Fallacy is.
    #5 If (Insert Player/Coach/Owner/Fan/my name here) can remain upbeat during this, (player/coach/owner/fan/me) can remain upbeat through anything.
    #6 Its not like the team is all that bad.
    #7 Canzano still will write an article I find offensive about this

    Quite the opposite. The more Roy is out, the better we'll be, as players get to have defined rolls, get in rhythms, get used to each other. With Roy hanging around, they'll struggle to do any of that.

    Plus the fact that Roy is completely useless when he's on the floor, as he has been all season and pre-season. He just can't play basketball anymore, unless you want a guy who just stands around the 3-point line yelling, "I'm open!", or someone on Defense who can't move one step to his left, right, backwards, or forwards while putting absolutely zero pressure on the ball, or a guy who can't rebound anything, not even a missed free throw.

    Bingo.

    Perspective is a wonderful thing.

    Just because many can't see it, or believe it, doesn't mean its not there.
