    I don't Mix with this Milieu's Minions. I wouldn't want Speed to come, but I wouldn't mind getting stoned with him.

    Wow, that's a long thread I missed. I skip a lot of threads. Mentions me today on page 12. Well, I'm not going to read it when I could read this!

    http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/in...surt9mn8db7&topic=38577.msg1454831#msg1454831

    That's what excites me. This board has had a couple of threads about this development. I don't know anything about basketball. Can't talk about it intelligently.

    It's about damn time. The skills were evident. He just seemed to lack confidence for some reason.

    Still, from a 31st pick no less.

    Averaging 15/2/1, in 28 mpg on 55% FG, 52% on 3s during the last five games.

    When he puts up a shot, I'm expecting it to go in. Perhaps he needs to start in place of Aminu?

    How about Crabbe/Harkless in the starting unit with CJ/Aminu coming off the bench? Maybe Aminu's awful dribbling won't be as noticeable if he's playing against, presumably, worse defenders? Probably not, but I still think we should be trying out all available options throughout the season to see what works and what doesn't.

    A legit possibility, but Harkless has underwhelmed me. Dude doesn't play as hard as he should given his situation. I expected him to come out here with a vendetta to prove ORL wrong, but he hasn't done anything to warrant supplanting CJ (much less, earn PT).

    True - he hasn't earned the start. But neither has Noah. This isn't a season where "earning" minutes matters as much as trying out new ideas to see what sticks. (Besides, he'd be supplanting Aminu - Crabbe would supplant CJ. :) )

    Harkless doesn't do any one thing well enough to stay on the court, and he's an RFA at the end of this season. Pass.
