Okay, now let's go get the next 6 games and enter the playoffs with some good chemistry and confidence. Those things could take this team far. Oh, and let's get healthy too

What did he do

[Surferdad]

Man Grant has lost it.

Turnovers, bad fouls, missed shots, you name it.

[slamtheking]

Man Grant has lost it.

What did he do

not much right.  just did not look good out there.  no idea how he could have regressed so badly this season.

Kemba, Pritchard, Fournier looked good. 6 shots, 9 assists for Smart Smart. If he could just embrace being the prime playmaker and making the right play, he could help us a lot.

Can only hope we'll be healthy soon. I think we can do some damage if Fournier's fog is lifting and Kemba isn't in and out of the lineup. No more sitting him with only 2 B2B's left.

Basketball is mental as well as physical, and he’s not the first player to experience a sophomore slump.  Hopefully he can have a productive moment or two in the postseason to build off, and come back for the better in year 3.  It’s also tough for him that his best position is probably a small 5, and we have so many other players who can only play the 5 that he’s been pushed into the 4 way too much.  I think that’s partly why Wagner flamed put so quickly here too.

ESPN: Steve Clifford on Fournier after the game:

Upon his return to Orlando, Clifford had this to say about the versatile guard: "There's nothing more important when you play 82 games than having a guy who you never have to worry whether he's going to try hard. It was a given with him. Played hurt, played really hurt, always ready to play, always into the game plan and badly wanted to win."
