Danny says JO should play next Thursday at San Antonio

[vinnie]

No word on Shaq.

[Fafnir]

Getting JO back would be huge. We need a better defensive option at C.

[vinnie]

Just added that Shaq will be day to day starting next Thursday. Honestly, none of this makes sense to me and Danny irritates me with the BS he spews.

[P2]

Ainge is a liar, and we know that, when it comes to injuries.

[Jon]

Agreed.  This is unrealistic, but I'd love to see JO clearly beat out Krstic for the backup 5 spot.  With JO and Shaq's health, we'd still likely need 5-10 mpg of Nenad; however, JO can do a lot of what Krstic does on the offensive end and obviously offers a lot more defensively.  

JO could be a very, very interesting option at the end of games if he can somehow find even the form from last year.  He can knock down 15 footers (like Baby and Krstic) and free throws and he can block shots (unlike either of them). 

[Megatron]

JO on a recovering leg is better then a healthy Krstic.

Krstics lack of defense is really aggrivating, I would rather have JO score 0 points, but provide excellent interior defense and shot blocking then have Krstic out there.

I cant take much more off seeing Krstic on the court, its bad for my health.

He's also a better defensive rebounder as well.

  Based on last night's game I'd say that Doc agrees with you. The clips of Doc slumping into his chair or putting his hand over his face and shaking his head after a Krstic screw-up were priceless.

Is Jermaine 40lbs overweight in lifelong rehab better than a healthy Krstic?

These fantasyland scenarios that bring somebody who plays when he feels like playing suddenly becoming a vital cog on this team is loco.

I dont understand what your trying to say.

I brought up the fact that JO is better then Krstic and you are obviously disagreeing.

In what way is Krstic better then JO?

He actually has 1 healthy knee? (sorry, couldn't resist)

Yea, last night was clearly the last straw, I think after the game he immediately wanted to know the status of JO and Shaq and forced Dannys hand at wanting them back sooner.

You could tell Doc has had it with Krstic, the fact that Doc has been forced to start him must be infuriating, considering players as bad as him are usually buried deep on the bench.

I dont recall us having these problems with Semih. Doc was actually happy with Semih.

[kozlodoev]

Sure he did. Semih had his fair share of uneven play, which garnered much less attention, given that he wasn't expected to start and play 30 minutes night in and night out -- so everything we got out of him was basically gravy.

One earns his paycheck.  The other collects his.

Your right.

Forget Shaq and JO.

I want Krstic starting for the rest of the year including the playoffs.

Championship here we come!!!
