    Okay I was just following the "we need" posts, but it is true at the same time! No one else is really stepping up!

    No doubt, we need our Franchise player! But even with Roy, this team needs a veteran banger.

    LA is NOT that, nor will he ever be. And if we are not prepared to trade LA to get what we NEED (B O S H !), then we need a veteran PF who knows how to bang/score down low coming off the bench.

    [Oh why did we not draft Blair???]

    Bosh is definitely a step up from Lamarcus, but I wouldn't call him a banger by any means.

    Yeah, Bosh isn't really a banger, but he is someone who will take contact, put the ball on the floor and drive and get to the foul line. Good shooter too.

    Ya, Roy would help, but I'm really disappointed in how LMA has played since Roy has been out. Even before he wasn't playing that well, but I would think he'd step it up some with Roy out.

    Last week they said that today would be the next medical exam on Brandon's sore hammy.

    I thought I heard Nate say he would prefer if Brandon goes through 1 whole practice before playing.

    I'm gonna say he won't play......... just a hunch. And in my opinion, I think we need Terrell Brandon!
