He has no future with this team and he is awful. He's not even the type of guy you want your young guys learning from.

Hilton is ready for his moment in the spotlight and the opportunity to showcase himself for Free Agency, 30 minute nights are right around the corner if Yi & Blatch are down.

C'mon, you want to miss Armstrong getting a 20-20?

He played pretty good in the first half against Chicago. I feel asleep after that. He should continue to get better as the season goes on and his confidence grows.

He's only allowed 6 fouls. Using summer league rules, I think there's a good chance Armstrong could get to 20 fouls and 20 turnovers.

I want to give the guy props for the two sweet spin moves he put on Chicago last game. I want to, but I'm afraid that someone with the Wiz might read this board and give him more playing time.

I wish we kept Singleton instead of signing Armstrong....

I don't care what his numbers suggested last night. He played like complete poo.

I have very little gripes with the team this year but the mismanagement of the center position is a travesty. This goes from the management level to the coaching level. We might not have had many expectations this year but we could have done better than Armstrong. Hell, we HAD better than Armstrong!

We should cut him and sign Josh Boone. Boone isn't much better, but at least he's tough.

Probably has a guarantee for the season.

I'm more than fine with K Sera taking all of his minutes from here on out. He showed me more in 15 PT last night than what Armstrong has showed all season.

Sooner or later Seraphin and N'Diaye need to take his minutes. Kevin did look lost during garbage time in the other games I saw him in, but that isn't that much worse than Armstrong.

Armstrong is about as good as a backup center with the minimum IMO. Don't know if Seraphin is ready to play center, with his inexperience and lack of size. Same goes for Hamady.

I think these stats are reason enough to fire Grunfeld? Also you can't tell me N'Diaye or Seraphin are not already better than him right now. I can't believe some drafted in the NBA can be worse than that....
