Well, a loss tonight was to be expected. We never matched up well with the Hawks and they are significantly better this season than they were in the past.

Has there ever been a worse player-to-team matchup than Roy Hibbert and the Hawks???

Yes, but I can't think of many

We aren't improvin, I am a bit concerned about that. To me it is beginning to look like a lot of work is needed over the summer to get us back into contention with PG.

I'm excited to see Whittington play. I want to see what he can do.

Based on the VERY LITTLE that I've seen of him, I think he could possibly be DWest's replacement at the 4.

Get Whittington some PT this year, let him work on his game in the off season and the let DWest mentor him the rest of this season and all of next season.

What a crappy downturn this season has taken. Had a promising start, and now this.

He could turn out to be something, and I'm happy to see him play, but I wouldn't pencil him in as anyone's reacement just yet, let alone West's.
