<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The Golden State Warriors have activated forward Troy Murphy from the injured list prior to this evening?s game versus the Atlanta Hawks, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin announced today. In a related move, the team also placed guard Luis Flores on the injured list with a strained right hamstring. Murphy has missed the last 10 games (nine on the injured list) due to a hairline fracture, left thumb that he suffered in the second half of the team?s game versus Seattle on January 28. He was placed on the injured list on February 2. In 42 games this season (all starts), Murphy is averaging 16.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 35.2 minutes per contest. He currently ranks 12th in the NBA with 25 double-doubles, and would rank fourth in the NBA in both rebounding (11.2 rpg) and three-point field goal percentage (.463 3FG%) if he met the statistical minimums to qualify. In his last eight games before being injured, Murphy averaged 17.9 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 50.4% (60-119 FG) from the field. Flores has appeared in 15 games this season, averaging 2.1 points in 4.9 minutes per contest. The rookie guard tallied a career-high eight points in seven minutes at Denver on February 5. He has also missed 23 games this season due to injury, having previously served two separate stints on the injured list. </div> Link Well Murphy is back, I made the preview before new of this. Sigh, we need to keep Flores playing. Well on the bright side, Biedrins is still on the active roster
I know I was just humoring you. A lot of these injuries are probably made up to give the 3rd string guy some dignity
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting J-Rich23:</div><div class="quote_post">^I know, but really Fisher's concusion is the worst injury on the team</div> He's putting up some good fantasy numbers, but you know we can't play a 6'1 guy at shooting guard forever. I mean crap, he's no Allen Iverson or even a David Wesley for that matter.

I mean crap, he's no Allen Iverson. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Almost there in shots per game....</div> He's doing his job which is to be an outside threat and be a secondary ballhandler and passer. I think he's doing well, but just not from the position he's supposed to play much like Dunleavy's situation. In the last 5 games, Dfish is averaging 2.6 three pointers made out of average of 6 attempts, 4.2 boards, 50% shooting overall on averages of 7of 14 shot attempts, 4.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 18 ppg. I think Dfish is doing great at the 2 guard spot, but he's not doing it from his intended role which is the point guard spot. He starts getting "Kobe-ish" whenever he's at the one and the guy is no Kerry Kittles when it comes to running and making fast breaks successful. When it's a two on one fastbreak he stays right in the middle for some dumb reason when Jrich is clearly running beside him. Ugh... Oh well good numbers in terms of scoring.
...Then Dunleavy is also averaging 7.2 boards, 1.8 3 point goals per 4.8 attempts, 46.4% shooting, 1.2 steals, and 17 ppg in his last 5 games. That's not bad. Doesn't get a whole lot of assists, but lately he's always been in the position to score so we don't need him passing, we want him shooting or getting fouled. That's what Claxton and Dfish for.
