Looks like Andersen is ahead of schedule and should be back soon, Kmart is running and visiting the doc on Dec 1st, where a clearer time table will be set.

Hurry back so we can stop using butterhands Shelden and start Al.

No doubt these are two key cogs in the machine. Each one IS a game changer, and both are getting a running start so......hey........I have hope things will start looking better quick.

I knew that was coming. He usually doesn't show up on the road as well as he does at home, so it shouldn't set the team back to much on the road trip.

That sounds very painful to say the least. Kinda surprised it will only keep him out that long.

Is Balkman injured or is he just out of the rotation? I was hoping he'd have a break out year this year.

Williams hasn't been playing either. I understand K and Bird need minutes and so does JR but you'd think Balkman and Williams might get some rebounding minutes when everyone goes cold offensively. At the least it would be a refresher for the starters and bench.
