    We just got bit by the injury bug all of a sudden. As much as Turks been struggling we are still losing a starter. And now Bogans goes down, I knew it couldnt last to long.. Hopefully J.J. gets some playing time now, this maybe his big chance to secure some playing time... I hope the injuries stop here we def dont need anyone else to go down...

    Yeah, with Hedo and Keith down, hopefully Redick gets a lot of playing time. He did good against the Pacers the other night and if he can get hot from downtown, I'm sure the coaches will be impressed and he would get more playing time. I really want to see Redick and this is his big chance to show what he's made of.

    Also, does anyone know the extents of Hedo and Keith's injuries?

    why not just have this inactive roster:

    augustine
    outlaw
    diener

    that way b-hill gets his lover (PG8) and we get redick to play

    I don't want Redick getting big minutes right now. I want him to play when it's not garbage minutes, but nothing too big until he gets his feet wet. Of course it depends on how he's playing, if he's hitting everything, give him more time. So Hill and Ariza in the starting lineup if Bogans and Hedo can't go?

    Redick needs to be brought in slow, but he also needs a chance to go out there with the first and second teams. I think if he still doenst perform as well then keep him for late game mins when its out of reach. I think he does need to see court time when it matters.

    I agree completely. However, this poses the question, do you guys think Redick will start at any point this year?

    I trust Brian Hill. If Brian Hill doesn't feel like Redick deserves minutes, I will back him. If he feels like he does deserve minutes, then I will cheer Redick on.

    Add Jameer Nelson to the list of injured players on our roster. Today on the radio, Brian Hill said that Jameer was hurt last night which is why he didn't enter the game towards the end. While I didn't actually hear the broadcast, I'm hearing that it is a groin injury and he will not play tomorrow night against the Raptors. Hopefully this is just a one game thing and he can recover quickly. In the meantime, expect Redick to get some minutes now that Hedo, Bogans, and Jameer will all be out tomorrow. I expect to see Arroyo, Dooling, and Hill starting but our second unit consistenting of Diener, Redick and Ariza should get a good chunk of minutes as well..
