Well hanks for all the good comments..I am sure the steam would be happy too....The way i read it from the herald, Steam did all this without any practice with the team..because they just don't...or don't have time....It makes a big diff....! I know short season, but the reports were the saem in previous years also....
Yeah, first the team didn't really practice, and then I believe it was only one full post-AS practice in which GS wasn't sidelined with his foot/feet in a boot. It was those first couple of games in LA on their long road trip where I think he grabbed onto an opportunity and cemented himself as a long-term NBA player.
Before Wilcox went down, Doc had proclaimed his rotation for the duration--and he didn't have Stiemer in it at all. Even after Wilcox went down, Doc stated that the guys who had to step up off the bench weren't capable of coming through consistently, but it was the consistency on that road trip that led Danny to do so little to patch up the front court at the trading deadline.
