A healthy Wes Johnson IS the curse. It has evolved.

I don't understand how Johnson could be servicable his rookie year and then become the worst player in the NBA the next.

What happened? Did Pekovic decide that Wes was perty or something? I could understand the emotional damage being the cause, and the reason why he's always smiling on the court. He won't hurt you with the camera's on you.....

OK I have no idea where that came from but I'm leaving it. Enjoy.

Something about those Syracuse players. They start out decent and then go to hell after.

I'm now glad Kahn held onto all our PG's. Luke played through pain, now it's time for JJ to man up and come back and do the same.

Meh, sucks to see another loss in the W/L-column while losing yet another player to injury. However, the cynic in me liked reading this thread. It reminded me of the glory days of this board when sarcasm, cynicism and mostly thread derailing had their heyday.

Not that I want to see the Wittman/Rambis era teams again, though. I just liked the atmosphere around here.

I agree but I have to say I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find humor in constantly being kicked in the stomach.

Here's to seeing Malcolm Lee starting!

I might die if Wayne is the only backup PG.

Do we have any healthy players left? Compressed season sucks. Rid down, Beas Pek 1st game in a long time, Rubio done for the season.

I mean we are at the point where Brad Miller gets a start right now. :crazy:

Marbury's CBA season is over, we should sign him for the rest of the season.

Hasn't everyone missed a game to injury this season?

Just looked it up, Derrick Williams is the only one to play in all 55 games. Wes played in 54.

Wes could've used the sophomore curse.
