Has anyone heard anything on Dazon's injury? I'm hoping it was just a thigh bruise that can get treated and heal up by Saturday. If he's unable to go, I think that means we'll have to see Junior back on the floor as we'll need a little depth at guard.
It's nice to see Giddens being effective off the bench to give Donta a break here and there, and if anything eat up some fouls (which we all know he is definitely good at doing, ha). Also he is showing signs of being enough of an offensive threat that opposing teams will have to pay attention to him which will keep them from overplaying our shooters. Seems like Gailen is still nursing the concussion but he did give us a few minutes last night when Giddens and Hall were both out with a few first half fouls.
Also, seeing Petty be the effort giver while almost not even taking 3's is a really enjoyable sight. He is a great rebounder and can also attack the rim and finish. Good to see him look like he's enjoying playing again after the stretch early on last year when he was sitting out/struggling with whether or not he wanted to be there. I think the expectations from him were a little overstated, but he can definitely be a top player in the league if he keeps on this trend.
