Yup, and he is still injured. Glad he got those extra minuets last night. I wasn't sure if AD was a bust or not. You know, so much to prove, and building towards next season and all.:rolleyes:

No they weren't. This point in the season however they are.

Apparently only games where players get injured are meaningless.

At some point seasons are meaningless for 29 teams in this league, since the point of a season is to win a championship.

I don't know Quailman, Charlotte really looks forward to their annual tanking which they've been very successful in doing so.

I wish that the league would have forwarded the memo about Davis getting injured to Monty. :( Damn logistics.

At some point, with 10 games left and having as good a chance at making the playoffs as the local girls YMCA Rec league basketball team your season is over. At some point you have to get up and walk away from the table because its just not your night. The Hornets came in with $1000 and currently have .25 in their pocket, but they are still all in.

Surprised you didn't say "Still injured"

Good job.

Charlotte's right on course for the next few decades of complacency.

That game was not meaningless for AD, you can not simulate real game action in practice. And as we saw from the game last night AD was using these game to work on his offensive moves as we saw with the jump hooks he took yesterday.

Speaking on that driving jump hook. That will be unstoppable. His first of the game went 3/4ths the way down before rolling out, and at that moment.... I knew that's what he needs to be working on this offseason. He released that ball well over the rim height.

He has been getting plenty of minutes since then. I think the main complaint was him being on the bench when we were actually in games.

Experience isn't just about minutes. It's about situational basketball. Monty wanted him to be in a blowout just so that he could have to learn to fight and scratch and claw his way back into the game.

I didn't hear anyone saying "take Davis out of the game" before he got injured. Those cries only came afterward, and from the outside looking in, it just seems like sour grapes. That really isn't intended to be an insult, so please don't take it that way.

I actually said a few days back that we should sit AD, and I know that I wasn't the only one on this board calling for him to sit more.

These games are a waste. They are glorified preseason games.

Was a dumb idea then, and still is a dumb idea. This last few games were giving him the opportunity to go up against some of the best Bigs in the league.

Scola
Howard and Gasol
Cousins
and Dirk twice.

That is some good competition, that I wanted to see him play against.

I truly did wonder why Davis was being back in, but didn't think it mattered. I can question the logic, but I would never say Monty was a fool for doing it. Because that's pure hindsight.

It seems calling Monty an Idoit is the new "Vasquez sucks" argument. Oh boy.

Glad you got your wish no matter the cost.

It's not my wish. I was just saying, it's very realistic for a coach to say look. These last 5 games you are going up against some premier players. Let's work on "these" skills in prep for the offseason and next year. Davis was showing moves he never did before this last week and a half.

Are you capable of registering that idea?

Yes, it sucks he was injured, but your whole argument and premis is a "I told you so" statement. It's quite childish to be honest.

It sucks because he was starting to experiment with his post game. I bet we would have seen more in the last 3 games.

Exactly why I'm not extremely upset. I was more upset when he was hurt in the beginning and middle of the season.

That move alone deserves it's own thread.
