    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Magic point guard Rod Strickland started against the Milwaukee Bucks, the eighth time he has received the call since signing with the Magic on Nov. 25. Starter Tyronn Lue, bothered by a bruised buttocks, missed his fifth game of the season.

    Lue has had tons of injuries, but never one quite like this. His right buttock had been bothering him before he took a fall in Monday's game against the Bucks, for he was feeling the pain during warmups.

    Lue played 16 minutes before leaving the game after scoring just two points.

    "Man, you should have seen the MRI. One side was all dark and the other was normal," Lue said.</div>

    Full Story

    Eh, I'll pass on that MRI.

    Lue is a good player, but I'd rather have Strickland in the starting lineup.

    Bruised Buttock?! Haha yeah that has got to suck for him..

    Yeah not saying i like someone injured.. But maybe this will open up eyes that Rod needs to start.

    I'm not really surprised, he's not that much of a sparkplug anymore. Let alone his speed results in some real bad endurance and stamina.

    He really impressed me early in the year, but now I don't like him too much. I'd rather give Shammond and Rod more minutes.

    Lue is hurt from hustlin and that's why I like him. Rod is a veteran at this game though. I'm glad to see him start but Tmac Ownz has a point there.

    We lose to everyone(except the Wizards) so you can't say that since we didn't have Lue we lost.

    Do you guys think Lue will play tonight? Lue vs. Iverson is a great matchup. Reminds me of the Finals.
