    Well, if he's as good as advertised, a lot. We could have used his mid and long range shot the other night.

    I seem to remember hearing that he'd be back at the end of November. I could be wrong.

    Yeah, I think people are underrating the impact this guy will make. He's gonna be just as important as Jim Jackson or Cuttino Mobley. His presence on offense will be relied upon.

    I seem to remember him knocking down a lot of 3's when he used to play AGAINST us... hopefully he can make a lot of 3's FOR US!!

    Let's not forget the bigggest bonus for Pike and A. Griffin getting healthy; hopefully less Moochie.

    I wish that were true man, damn do I ever. But those guys play shooting guard and small forward and cannot be relied upon to bring the ball up...but then neither can moochie.

    He has a high ankle sprain which is kind of a serious injury. It can linger. But the degree of the high ankle sprain is more on the mild side I think. Supposedly he might be back in mid november.

    We really could use him to space the floor. Plus JVG said he feels Pike is a good post entry passer, something this team NEEDS!

    FYI, you can pretty much kiss Nachbar's minutes goodbye when Pike comes back.

    We really need Pike & AG back! The real question is who's going to the IL to replace them. Who has a severe case of hangnails?? ;)

    Yes, the Power Dancers are hot.

    Seriously, Grif was brought here because of his defense if I'm not mistaken. Plus JVG stresses team defense more than one-on-one shut your man down defense. I don't think Pike will be a liability. His sweet jumper will make up for it.
