    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist missed 30 games last season, incuding the last 11. This season, he has missed all 46 games. So he's been out for 57 straight games. Tonight he returns! Exciting for Charlotte fans.

    2012 draft: 1 Anthony Davis, 2 Kidd-Gilchrist, 5 Thomas Robinson, 6 Damion Lillard, 9 Andre Drummond, 11 Meyers Leonard, 15 Maurice Harkless...16 Royce White...

    Damian's name is misspelled in your post. I can only assume that this is a copy-and-paste from an outside source as you would never make such a heinous error. I've decided not to wear my Sylvester Jr. brown paper bag of shame.

    Psst...I spelled it Lilard the first time, but caught it upon reinspection and corrected it. Both my fingers and my eyes aren't what they used to be, Hoover.

    ... 12 Jeremy Lamb, 34 Jae Crowder, 35, Draymond Green, 40 Will Barton ..... Certainly an interesting draft.

    This new guy posting, Lemon Marangue, was he the stat master who talked up Jae Crowder before that draft? That's a real feather on his baseball cap. I think it was him, on this board, under a different name.

    This is one of those games that we need to get if we're serious about the playoffs. At home, rested, against a mediocre eastern conference team that got blown out in Utah.

    Despite "got" being a verb, that sentence lacks a predicate.

    Although I had Jae Crowder a bit high at #2, I also had Draymond Green at #10. And I noted Lillard was my preferred pick for the Blazers at #6. I definitely missed on Andre Drummond. He really kicked it in after college.

    Okay, I gotta start giving you credit more often. I noticed you back then, but it takes work to analyze posts like yours and Lemon Marangue's, so I feel the surge of superpower only about every week or two to go through your excellent material. I'll just quickly memorize your name right now. 42WTF wait, this is even harder to remember than jlprk.

    42N8Bounce = "Fortunate Bounce". But you can call me 42WTF. I've been called worse. :)

    His name isn't Lemon Marangue. It's Don Mahjong. The least you could do for a new poster is learn his name properly.

    Eight years of college, and I still don't know what this means.

    Next up: Dangling participles. Do they, or don't they?

    Hey mods, pass this along to Denny: Either give 42 his own section like Marang, or combine them into an analytical section. They could even compete.

    The contra argument against this: Segregating sections decreases their readership, instead of increasing. I have yet to get the energy to open Dan Marang's special section for the first time. Just like creating a special section for selling things just because MGB kept offering his tickets...he died shortly thereafter...did Denny kill MGB?...I've looked at Denny's Place only a couple of times, ever.

    So putting 42's stuff in with Lemon's stuff, where no one ever looks, might be the kiss of death. Anyway, it's an idea. I always have good ideas for Denny.
