I had to laugh when I saw this at the bottom of the box:
A. Carter DNP - Sore Right Foot
R. Davis DNP - Strained Left Groin
K. Garnett DNP - Right Knee Tendinitis
T. Hudson DNP - Coach's Decision
The only guy among the four who is actually hurt is the only one listed as
DNP- coach's decision!
How'd you like to go into 2006-07 with this roster:
J. Reed
E. Griffin
M. Blount
R. McCants--scored 28 in 44 minutes and didn't get blown up by Joe
Johnson or other Atlanta guard
M. Banks
T. Hassell
M. Jaric
R. Dupree
M. Madsen
'Course with that 1st round draft pick (what's that?) the Wolves are
projected to get Patrick O'Bryant of Bradley and Blaine, MN. His big wide
body will surely make winners out of this group!
Seriously I think O'Bryant might be better than Joel Pryzbilla, and
seriously if KG is not on the roster next year somebody else you've heard of
will be. But this is the supporting cast. Yikes. Where's Joe Smith when you
need him?
Without KG! I had to laugh when I saw this at the bottom of the box: A. Carter DNP - Sore Right Foot R. Davis DNP - Strained Left Groin K. Garnett DNP...
