And good job trying to hide the fact that they still won very easily with out him.

Your commenting game is weaker than a Reggie Miller breakaway layup, son.

When he was out, they went 10-5. I wouldn't call that a large enough sample to draw a conclusion one way or the other. You realize Denver made this big trade that significantly altered their roster, right? That sort of skews things, too, considering all the games Afflalo missed were after the trade.

Are you saying Affalo is not a good player?

Just my two cents. HEY STAT   Please go look at Afflalo game log for last year.

His pedigree is trumping his actual on-court performance. He's an MLE guy at this point, but someone will probably overpay him. Hopefully, not Detroit. I'll miss Tay, but it's time to part.
