I know we all like to rag on Marvin, but best of luck to him.

On a somewhat related note, am I the only one who thinks he plays as if he has a board strapped to his back at all times?

is this why Marvin has sucked for the last two years? hopefully this will get Marvin back on track and become at least a 15ppg scorer, and goes back to doing this.

Marvin as a 15 ppg scorer? He might be able to be better if Crawford is gone, but 15 ppg from our 5th option on offense would be amazing.

He walks like he has one leg shorter than the other. And each time he steps, he drags one of his hands on the ground.

I would love to see his game get back on track. If his back has been a factor in his recent troubles, I hope this surgery can help him.

Marvin was a 14ppg and shot .350 from three, a few years ago. if this surgery can get him to improve just alittle and get him to 15ppg and shoot .380 from three, the Hawks could become the 3rd best team in the east behind the Heat and Bulls and pass the Magic and Celtics.

If you ever had lower back issue you know how it just kills you legs. I think that why he was always falling when he was finshing. hopeffully,he can get his groove back and be the player I know he can be. And if he want to play the 3 he should loses a little weight too.
