Pruitt in, Pollard out

Is pollard going to be someone we can count on this season? I think not. This needs to be addressed by the team. There are games when you just flat out need to have some length out there. Maybe they should have brought Wallace up instead of Pruitt. He could chase Yi around and hack Villinawava.

Looking forward to seeing BBD in action again on Friday.

The frailty of Scott Pollard ….

Time to look for another big.

The complete lack of confidence in Powe (and lack of ability) is on show right now. Powe is an empty jersey who’s only good for practices, we need another big man to cover this hole. Powe simply cannot.

Meanwhile Brian Skinner is ballin’ out in Phoenix … not a lot of bodies out there right now

Everybody should be frustrated with Pollard. He is Perk’s back-up and can’t go when needed. Maybe he’s too brittle, maybe he’s too laid back to get in/stay in shape. But at 18-2 I’m not 2nd guessing Danny and Co. They’ll do what’s gotta be done.
I do not think that Leon is a bum. He’s a role player and was not out of his league last night.

oh noo, not another theo ratliff, olawakandi,raef lafrenz, dwanne schintzius, and the piano foot man. ouch- double ouch. time to move some bodies. time to use powe and see what we got.

Pollard gets love by being in the right place at the right time. Dude has been a scrub since his playing days in Sacto. Just lucky to be player #14 on a couple of deep playoff teams. Other than that, he’s completely useless. In an offseason full of outstanding moves (house, posey, bbd), this one was awful. I’m ready for the B Wallace experiment to start.

I don’t see the point in bringing up Pruitt. Big men is where we are lacking right now, and Brandon Wallace can’t play or practice either because of an injury so he’s no help either.

hee hee i scooped bulpett.

sorry yall, i’m getting restless stuck in with all this snow!

why all the talk about Pollard? What I found slightly alarming was that Ray Allen sat out practice bc of his ankle (precautionary measure, sure, but still makes me worried).

Wouldn’t the identity of that person be Pollard?

It’s early yet. To me, Pollard looks better than Perkins, which isn’t saying a whole lot, but he’ll have his time.

I was against the Pollard sigining from the very beginning and posted his injury history over the last 4 years. He has played in fewer games each season. there’s still time for him to get helthy and help us and I suppose that for the money he was the best big man available but he is injury prone and I saw this coming. Perk also has missed games every year so we clearly need help at the center position.

Remember, all, Brandon Wallace is on the shelf for another week or two with a wrist injury, so he wasn’t an option.

What this does mean, I believe, is that Pruitt can only be sent back down to the D-League one more time this season.

They have more room for 1 roster spot and they could also make a trade in February. If Pollard was healthy I would not be concerned but they do need someone 7 ft and can rebound in injury situations like we have now. If they are not going to play Powe in these situations and I would like to to see him have the chance to prove himself. He can handle the other backup players and I believe he is better then most other teams backup players in rebounding and does well on defense against the 2nd tier players.
