Harris getting hurt at all is a huge blow. This makes our already bad bench even worse. Bring back T-Will...He has been disciplined enough... Lets worry about the teams record, Avery...

harris is fragile and is bound to keep getting hurt as long as he starts.

i said this from day one of the harris-deal , but who has ever listened to me on ISH?

Me

Its only 2 games. I didnt see the injury but from what I heard it looked bad and could have been a lot worse.

haha... thanks, MT.

actually, don't you think that harris has held up better recently than is 'normal' for him?

i must say, one of the most pleasant surprises for me this season is how he's had to spend more energy on defense (naturally, since that's how AJ demands that he play) but has actually become more effective on offense than last season... i *think*.

actually i haven't compared the numbers, but it seems like he and lopes are the two reliable scorers. (not counting brook's early-season slump, of course)

...

you know, i might have to actually -watch- the games this season. the team has been more interesting (and successful) than i suspected they would. AJ has proven me wrong about him, and it appears that he learned from dallas, the perils of being a control-freak.

also, i can't wait to see how the team performs when t-will gets back and becomes fully-integrated into the offense.

I do. Probably because of the extra muscle he put on this summer. He lost some of his speed he had when he first got here but I'd take it if it means hes gonna be more durable. I think Devins doing a great job of being the leader of this team though. Hes also been the most consistent player we've had this season.
