    The past week or two Babbitt has looked like an actual NBA caliber player.

    Fez is impressed.

    Flynn is good. I hope we keep him and Hickson.

    For all the talk about Crawford not getting quality shots, a lot of it is self inflicted.

    I know we're trying to tank, but I'd still rather see Flynn than Felton...

    When Aldridge plays, we don't use the talent we have. Trade Aldridge.

    Hickson isn't making me miss Aldridge. Is that bad???

    He's a workhorse.

    I don't know if I'd go that far. Have guys really been game planning for Hickson?

    Well if they're going to screw up the tank and still miss the playoffs it might as well be entertaining. #Fuckit

    There's a lot of things Hickson does that game planning won't do anything for. He hustles A LOT more than Aldridge, he rolls on the PnR. He goes for all the rebounds. If he keeps up this effort, at worst he's a pretty good garbage man.

    Will he keep up this effort though? That's the real question.
