Not sure that you can attribute Turk’s slide with age when his numbers with Toronto dropped across the board.

- 6 min/game, -4 FGA/game, -1 3PTA/game, -2 FTA/game, – 5 PTS/game.

Not to put this on Toronto, but they finished a shade under .500 last year, Chris Bosh literally quit on them, and they benched Turk halfway through the season because he wasn’t doing what he was doing in Orlando.

Why wasn’t he doing what he was doing in Orlando? Because he was in Toronto, the worst basketball city in the world. Not to mention that when he went to Phoenix they already had a guy playing the 3 by the name of Grant Hill and Turk is no 4, but they started him there anyway over Hakim Warrick.

My guess is, that if Turk isn’t playing up to par with his 08/09 numbers by the All-Star break, I’d be very surprised.

Oh, and on the Garnett thing. That’s the breaks. Boston knew what they were getting when they signed Garnett and older all-star. If they thought that he wasn’t going to ever breakdown, they’re just as disillusioned as you are.

No he really isn’t. Reading his posts is like talking sports with a 6th grade girl.

You and I both know Wally wasn’t brought in to put the Cavs over the top. He was merely trade filler in order to get Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden out of town.

Fault the Cavs for not moving Wally’s huge expiring at the following deadline, but don’t act like Wally was the “key piece” the Cavs thought would get them to the finals.

Come on Matt, you’re better than that.
