Hopefully he can get up to speed quickly and get back to playing his normal minutes again.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I ever really fully appreciated his around the basket game until he went out. It's so nice having someone who can convert a high percentage of shots from that area with literally no danger of him falling in love with his outside shot. Also, he was leading the team in blocks and rebounds before he went out, so that will be nice to have back as well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The key for us at the beginning of the season was that we didn't need to have a "superhuman" performance by anyone to win games. Hopefully this will allow us to get back to the point where we can still win games without needing at least 30 points from Joe, 5 threes from Bibby, and 20 points from Flip every night...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291098667821451192noreply@blogger.com
