Plenty of Thad's mid-teens  games earlier this season could easily have been 20+ with some FTA. I know you always like to find the touch of grey in a silver lining, but Thad was demonstrating real growth. jjg: It wasn’t a 7 game stretch against no-D-playing teams, but an entire month with an excellent FG% (54) and 3 point % (37) and well as getting to the line at an almost doubled clip to prior months.

Sooner or later they have to see what he can do in a complete game.  Next year there will be a "log jam" in the front when everyone is healthy and the team needs to figure out who is expendable and who isn't.

Thank God Brand and Marshall do not act like that!  They are true professionals!!  <a href="http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/david_aldridge/04/02/iverson.20090402/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/david_aldridge/04/02/iverson.20090402/index.html</a> Looking a little ahead, but someone does not like the idea of coming off the bench.  I don’t blame him for complaining, since he is treated like an expiring contract.  However, this is not the right approach to earn more minutes. Next season, he could ”possibly” be reunited with “Coach” as a starter perhaps. hmmm.

Getting the 5th seed will come down to who performs better on the road.  I think we might get the edge there with the depth that we have!  Also, watch out for the Charlotte Bobcats! They appear to be playing their most competitive basketball right now. Larry Brown and MJ are making quite a team there.

The obvious decision to me is to start Speights and split minutes off the bench between Reggie and Donyell.  We definitely need to increase Donyell's minutes.  If Andre Miller doesn't completely suck during these 2-3 weeks, then him and Iguodala can carry the load on offense. Getting the 5th seed is a must if we are going to get to the second round.  And remember... we are 2-1 against the Hawks and that one loss we were up by 26 points at one time.  We seem to have the Hawks number and we can only hope that would continue if we get matched up with them in the playoffs.
